looks cool 12's are daft looking.

but 13's are cool. You have to be mega low so they don't look too odd though.

Im toying with the idea of 12" superlights.


They will not fit over the front brakes, 13" is the smallest you can use.

i do beleive thats a photo of my car on 12's is it not? i had to file down the very edge of the calliper but only a fraction and used 10mm spacers. the barrel of the wheels is tappered so that was enough to let it roll nicely. there was about a 6-7mm gap between wheel and calliper, i've seen closer tollerances on mk2's.

tbh i may just buy my mims back and slap em on as comfort is more important to me than scene points.

well its only a bit o fun,it was a cheap buy and its far from clean, roof was dented and theres shallow dents everywhere else as well as parking damage so its not a serious project, just a beater. its certainly keeping me entertained.  :cool:

This is my life  :grin:

You've got more stickers than me! I also have polish but not the paint to polish  :grin:

Car looks cool tho!

If you have cash to mod a car well then great, if you don't I think this new age of 'rat-look' is cool!
