thinking(only thinking) of changing my wheels anyone got any input what could i replace the schmidts with?

and some info on offsets would be nice want to go wider on the rear or maybe 16's this time round just no sure on what to do yet

i love my wheels now but i just feel like a change

any pics would be great

thankyou

16x8.5 and 16x9.5's would go a treat on it I think. And im thinking 3pc Schmidt Modern Lines with cc'd centers and polished lips

For the rears get a 5mm HIGHER offset (ie if your on et35 now, go to et40) than you have on the TH's which will make them sit ~7mm further out and reduce the need for expensive arch work
Youll probably want to run a 215/40 if you want a silly stretch. God knows where youd get that fitted though

On the fronts iirc youve got 8's just now so again 5mm HIGHER offset and some 205/40's and youll be reet

Out of interest what do you think youd be looking for for the TH lines?

Id paint the centres of any of these two rims rosewood!!!!!

Seen RMs done before, they look sweet

arnt they rs's love them like classic

like the porka wheels but only as a second wheel would still like a split

Something like this:

They're custom made, and God knows how much they cost, but they're really, really nice wheels

And they do other ones;

They would be the only ones that I would consider replacing the Schmidts with.

im pritty sure they retail around 300 a wheel will check them out

Get Carline CR6's, they're the ones on my mates brothers Mini (ed38 black one).

Yeh I think they are actually. It's always hard to tell the difference for me
