Whilst out in a village in Nottingham for my relatives Christmas party on boxing day, some little *insert abuse here* decided to key all down the drivers side of my car! There are a few areas on the car that need respraying, the bonnet and the roof being the key areas but that's not the point :embarassed:

Tossers... :angry:

Sorry to hear that - same thing happened to my lads MK2 pre-Christmas...

Just brought some alloys for it! Finally :rolleyes: They are 15" 'BBS' style :drool: Though I'm sure they'll look awesome once fitted.

Need to pick up 2x 15" tyres when I get paid though if you are selling a full set of 15" tyres cheap hit me with a PM  :grin:



I will be repainting them possibly with white spokes and then trying to polish the lip. Something Like that :cool: Suggestions welcome though!

Should be getting these around Monday next week so I'll get better pictures of them and obviously as I refurb them.

I reckon those wheels will look nice once they have had a refirb man :) what width are the wheels and tires? If they are 7's then it looks like you have some 205's on there! You should go for some 195/45/15's instead :)

Yeah the current tyres are "7x15 and the two tyres are 205 50 15."

as above i would go 195 with the smallest profile you can, makes the wheels stand out more and looks far better

because the tyre is narrower it wont overhang the alloy, making it look better as its not over shadowed by the tyre. (which looks poo imo. like the picture above with 205 tyres on, tyres are bigger than the alloy)

smaller profile means when looking at it face on your looking at the alloy and not the massive amount of tyre. make sense? ill try find some pictures t explain better lol

Remember that if you start changing side profile's it will alter your speedo reading... There is a chart (do a google search) and it'll show you by how much out it will be...
