New Alloys
« on: 25 February 2006, 12:53 »
Could one of you great people please photoshop these 17s onto my car? They are just a couple I found that i liked while quickly browing.  :rolleyes:

As you can see, it currently has 17inch Audi's on it, but they arent agreeing with the suspension. I love the look of them, so if you can think of a similar looking set which would suit the car, please feel free to add some recommendations! Cheers.








Hope the pics of the car are okay to use!  :smiley:

Ohhhh, dont now. I've already had this arguement with myself!  :embarassed:

I agree with you, I really like the wheels on the car. But im having a nightmare finding someone who can do the arches for me, and it not cost a fortune. And its also the thought of having a set of shiney new wheels. HMMMMM  :undecided:
I have to do something pretty sharpish, or my nearly 200 quid that i've just spent on 4 new tyres is going down the pan. I cant even take any passengers at the moment, its that bad! I even have to slow down for bumps in the road now. Can you imagine?  :evil:

Are there any Alloys that I can get which look almost the same as the ones I have? But ones I can buy to fit properly??   :cry:

Is it on coilovers?

If not then get some of them, and get the lip of the arch rolled whilst they are being fitted, then you can drop it on its ass and not worry about the arches eating your tyres  :cool:

^^ i agree, it'll probably cost the same as new wheels but it'll look much better for it  :smiley:
