Title: Do these wheels suit the car??
Post by: ryan360 on 29 September 2010, 16:24: Hi everyone, got these wheels a while back off ebay quite cheap, haven't a clue what they are or what there from, any ideas?

Had alot of mixed opinions from people about them, some people saying they dont suit ect.

What do you guys think?

A. Picked em up on the cheap ... some guys spend £1000+ on wheels which in my opinion is ridiculous, all it takes is four chavs to put your car on bricks and take those off your hands.

B. They actually do suit the car and contrast very well.

All youve got to do now, is put spacers on the rear.

With that logic whats the point in spending money and buying a nice car? All it takes is someone to come along and smash the f**k out of it.

Think you mis understood ...

Smashing your expensive car won't make the chavs any money.

But stealing your £1500 Schmidt alloys for example, will probably make them a grand cash!

Post by: jeremybarker on 29 September 2010, 23:57: Thumbs up from me, like the others said some rear spacers will finish them off nicely :cool:

Post by: OakeyDoak16v on 30 September 2010, 01:42: As above, spacer out the rears.

I don't like the white mate, but maybe paint them a dark metalic gun metal and go for a stealth look. :smiley:
Title: Re: Do these wheels suit the car??
Post by: OakeyDoak16v on 30 September 2010, 01:46: 2nd thought is, the're too small to look there best on the car. Are they 15's? 17's will always look best on a mk3.
(now will come the wheel police of this forum to tell me i've got it wrong). :cool:
Title: Re: Do these wheels suit the car??
Post by: ryan360 on 30 September 2010, 12:09: Cheers for all the comments :)

Yea there 15's mate, abit small but ill live with them :D

And yea i agree with everyone on the spacers on the rear idea, i currently have 5mm's on the front so the tyres do not rub on the coilover. Still gotta get round to getting some for the back, i really want some nice 10/15mm hubcentrics but there so expensive :(
Title: Re: Do these wheels suit the car??
Post by: DubSociety on 30 September 2010, 12:10: Personally I think 16's are the PERFECT size for a MK3 ... 17's are too big, 15's mmm you can get away with it, but ideally are too small.

Post by: dlongmu on 30 September 2010, 13:12: Those aint enkei's they are old League wheels I think, my mate had those on his Ka back when I was 17.

Post by: MrAnderson93 on 30 September 2010, 13:15: they look a little "mercedes-ish" imo and they do really suite the car, as said some spacers on the rear weould deffo help (y) get some merc centre caps too ><

Post by: thai-wronghorse on 03 October 2010, 07:31: I think they look ok but certaintly wouldn't be my choice as an aftermarket fitment. Apart from the already mentioned jap-styling i think they look slightly undersized for the mk3 with it's rounded body. 16's and a lower ride height would be much better aeseticically imo. BUT wheel taste will always be a personal thing anyway so what should you care what us lot think if your happy with how it appears?
