Michael P Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 Cheers everyone! The car drives sooooo much better on new rubber and balanced wheels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maffoo Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Yay you've finally done it :P Very much approve of the colour ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael P Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 Yes! Finally, it's been a long time now!! I'm impressed with the tyres, they seem good. A little bit soft but they'll do. Seems that the car is much better on narrower wheels, seems to be more fun to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael P Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 Right, I have the alloys on. Downside? I can't take anyone in the back of the car anymore. Upside? I'm going to save alot of money. The car is no longer getting money spent on it. It doesn't deserve it to be honest. Everything i have bought/spend on the car has gone wrong. Mac ahoy, screw you M11HKL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maffoo Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Why can't you take anyone in the back? Fat friends? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael P Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 wheels sit wider than previous alloys, tyre wall too thick, soft suspension. All grouped up to make me a moody moose. Tired last night with three average peeps in the back, scraped on the edge of the bumpers, turned around after 1/4 mile. So no people in the back of it any more.

Nug878 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Sadly I think everybody gets fed up with their first car quite quick and get bored of it. It happened to me, and most of my mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flic Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Devastating news regarding the alloys, Princess!! Selling them could be an option as stated? I wouldn't be offended :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nug878 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Or sell the car and get another? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael P Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 Its inconvenient but i'll cope. Flic, i made a promise to you and that will be kept. I love them to bits, they're staying. Back seats will come out tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nug878 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 It is annoying. My mate's old 106 had similar problems. It had the standard Peugeot alloys on it (13"), and if he'd have 3 or more people in it the tyres would rub against the inside of the wheel arches. They would squeal like a piggy. He didn't do the sensible thing and stop people getting in the back though ... He just went through rear tyres like they were going out of fashion. People have said why don't I get mine lowered and put 15" Zetec alloys on mine. But my cars often fully loaded and I'd be worried about them rubbing on the arches.
