New wheels on (Pics)

[BoSelecta]

First little bit of tinkering done on the car, picked her up last weekend and drove down to the south Kent coast yesterday to grab some new wheels. Been out and about today to the breakers for 16 M12 alloy wheel nuts (rummaged through a box for an hour and grabbed 'em for £10) and needed some budget tyres so got a decent set of good-brand part worns on there ('bout 5mm to play with on each).

Anyway, stuck the new shoes on this afternoon. From this:



To this:





Crappy phone pictures, I know, but I'm chuffed with the image change! You can see how muddy the car got on the farmers tracks down Kent way yesterday...

Now to save for some coilovers

Cheers guys 

Definitely needs dropping but gonna have a think about which route I go down as realistically I cant afford to fork out for decent coilovers.

Don't think I'm gonna get away with dropping as far as yours unfortunately, rear might take it but with such low offset I'd never get to full lock on -80mm at the front
