iam thinkin about getting some wheels for my 6n......

i have a 98 6n in red, its on standard steel rims at the mo and i really needs to start thinkin of rims but iam not sure what to do or what to get.

i dont want to put the car on her ass to much cos i have LOADS of speed hump around my areas.... loads of people have said go euro but iam not keen on really small wheels

any one have any recommendations on what kinda wheels would look good??

ive also though of getting black rims would that look rite


iam so confused!!!!! :?

i would be gratefil for some pics of the ideas for wheels

You can't go wrong with 15's

with 195/45/15 tyres

It's a common choice, it's what I have on my mk4, I've had no probs and it's on coilovers.

Euro wheels don't have to be small!



:wink:

Hmm the most suitable picture's probably this one if it's a comparison you're after..

Those wheels were on the car when I bought it, will change them when the weather's a bit better, but I'll stick to 15s I think.

Dunno if that helps or not, look around the site, alot of people have 15s. :D

Yeah that'll be each rim without tyres, very nice wheels though.

The best wheels never come cheap.

Might be worth looking into a good second hand set, wheels often come up on here :)

et 35 (or there abouts)
offset 4x100

alot of euro alloys come n 17" you'll be suprised!
with 17"s you wont go much lower than 40mm without arch modification/scrubbage!

i'd personally go for 16" rs4 alloys
