Alloys 8x15 !!!!!!!

Post by MK5POLO_2004 »

Okay mate of mine that owns a bodyshop says that he'll do archwork on my car for next to nowt so need some phat euro look rims to go under my 6n2 any ideas my budget is £800.

Ill be lowering the car on spax coiloversso im fitting the coilovers on to my standard polo steelies leaving it at standard height then once wheels have been bought arches will be modded and coilovers slammed to -75mm.

Heres a couple of styles to give you an idea of what im looking for.

I told him that the rims wouldn't fit but my mate assures me they will so Im trusting his judgement. In fairness hes one of these guys that belives that theres nothing you cant do to a car so he'll make em fit.

you dont ant to force them on and start work to the arches, would u not rather have it sitting right with nice rims? u will end up going through suspension arms and bushing and wheel bearings like crazy! :shock: :shock:

Finding it hard to get the rims i want in 8x15 anyway and thats a good point about the suspension arms and bushes. need to find a middle ground between looking good and being practical.

Any ideas on what size wheel to be loking for and with what offset.

Thanx for the responces so far guys.

p.s im thinking of getting the spax rsx coilovers are they any good.

If they make your car look like Andy's, then they'll be worth every penny :wink:
