Thanks all  :smiley:, sorry to say that it will not be lowered, it is fine as is.

To spend £400 to lower it 20mm makes no sense to me, in other news a remap is booked for Monday :afro:

Now these don't look chavvy, and I love CHs. However, aren't you now following the crowd and not being 'different'?  :lipsrsealed:

Could you not just get a set of lowering springs? Or is that not the route you want to take?

 Up the balloon profile and recode it, that will fill the arches nicely :rolleyes:

I'm not a fan of them alloys sadly, I preffered your old ones. The other ones suited the car more than these, they look lost and out if place as well as look like the dub chavs wheels that you see at all meets. Good news is you can smooth them  :grin:

On a positive, I like the rest of the car.

Not really, I would replace the shocks at the same time so would get expensive and I would never use cheaper / lower end coilovers.

 :undecided: it is the same tyres as the old wheels so struggle to see how they can look lost.

Because they're black, look smaller for some reason.  :smiley:

This!

I really dont think they look Chavy though, and I know you tried to get a different colour so maybe a powdercoat a different one in future. Think thats probably why everyone thinks it needs to go a little lower.
