Hi

The wheels are on the car i am buying. i havent picked it up yet. i Know they are 17" they are either 7/8" on the front and 8/9" at the front. They are defo different sizes at the front and rears. The dish needs a bit of attention, machined and laquered, it wouldnt cost you must at a wheel specialist..

I ran a 16x9" rim on a golf, looked sweet, everyone loved it.

As for a price i would need you to make an offer.

Cheers

Knobby

Budget?
How bothered are you with the hassle factor, eg rubbing or Rolling arches?

Title: Re: what rims?
Post by: russ_turner on 29 April 2006, 10:54

back arches have been semi rolled, but would like them pulled further for the summer. it's on coilovers, so height and stiffness not too much of a problem.

don't want to go ott on price unless something special comes along. thinking £550 or so

Title: Re: what rims?
Post by: knobby on 29 April 2006, 10:55

Budget? Sub 1k? plus 1k?

If ya like the deep dish there are loads out there to choose from, but usually with the deep dish comes a large width, large width means.. Rolling arches and rubbing..
