Featured Replies

OK im trying to get new wheels sorted for my car as i have it about a month and the wheels are kerbed/scratched from the previous woman driver ehich i got £300 of the price for lol :lol:

Now i just dont know what to go for i have three wheels ive picked out but dont know what would be best. Any feedback appreciated

Firstly here is the car

Option one

Option 2

Option 3

The first one! Gorgeous!

The first ones because they have the 4 holes instead of the multi ones.

First ones definately, and not all women drivers kerb the alloys - it was my OH who did ours the week we got the car!!!!

see i like the first ones too as they are different. Also these are 17's will they fit straight on without any modding of the arches etc? im looking to lower it as well so any pointers welcome

first ones all day long mate

Personally, I like the third option because they are similar to the zetec s alloys that would look mint on your car, however they have to many holes and that will look silly so the first ones will look mint with the colour contrast on the car.

would 17's be a good idea and will

they go straight on?

i like the second option, but that is only because i am trying to get hold of some white speedline corse's in a 5 spoke design. though i dont like the look of those multifit holes.

the first ones will probably go with the car better, i saw one earlier same colour with the same style wheels, though not my cup of tea, they didn't look too bad.

though i will say, don't put lexarse lights on the rear! they look toss! IMHO.

You should find someone who can photoshop them onto your car so you can get a good idea what they will look like :)

starting to have second thoughts don't know if I would spend that kind of money on a set of wheels to be honest.

Wheels =£424

Tyres = £44 x 4 (cheapy khumo tyres)

Wheel Nuts= £15

Delivery= £45 to northen Ireland which ain't tooooo bad

Total = £660 Inc vat

that's from alloywheels.com who are meant to be a good service

No contest--the first ones definitely.

would you shell out £660 to get them tho........hmmmm

would you shell out £660 to get them tho........hmmmm

No, I guess not but it depends on how much disposable income you have.

I wouldn't put cheapo tyres on them either but then that's even more wonga gone...... :rolleyes:
