wheels... change or not to change??
« on: 23 March 2007, 19:32 »
havin some real wheel 'thoughts' the last few days.....

as most know i got this ...



now as an ex show car (came 5th at ultimate last year), its as it was.... i kinda wanna put my stamp on it, gonna have grey velour headling changed to black, have changed gear knob, and steering wheel to be done soon... just as much as i like the wheels and have just fitted new tyres all round i kinda think i should change em?? there bbs rs2's split rims, 17" 8"wide, i like em, but id prefer something with a deeper dish..... well alot deeper dish really!!!

so post any wheels you see for sale that will fit the 5x100 stud pattern on the vr... so i can look and kinda get an idea..... what sort of money are these bbs rs2's worth??

well if you have £5k you can have it.... lol

anyways.... wheels... have hummed... harrred.. and decided to keep em... im now trying to get some 15mm spacers for the rear to give it a more filled look.... will alter camber on fronts when i get round to lowering it (some more) hopefully on monday

ive also had this idea that if i can get the same house of kolor mix for the paint of the car.... that the wheel center would be nice in that colour.....
