Wheel ideas
« on: 03 August 2012, 16:52 »
This is my car currently as she sits. I love the gold alloys but due to a couple of idiot grease monkeys using flatheads to pop out the centre caps i'm going to have to get the face of the alloys redone. The guy i use is good and reasonably priced so we are tossing up the idea of new colours of even different alloys. These are the VR6 bbs alloys.

Wondered what ideas you lot have as my imagination is pretty slim lol :grin:

Would lower it but i use this every day i don't want to play on the crap roads with it. It already lowered 30mm and i'm on my third splitter. Plus the speeds me and my mates have done, it wouldn't have survived a bump in the road :shocked:

It's already 30mm lower? Im guessing the 15'' wheels and photo angle make it look higher than it actually is..

Again, wouldn't know where to start. Prices vary as do brand. which is best for money etc..

Also this is a daily so it has to be a comfortable ride or my missus will kick me  :grin:
