so yesterday went to go pick up my new wheels and as soon as i got home me and my mate trial fitted them to see what they look like and here are the results, also they were half way through being refurbed but all they need now is just a bit more of sanding and some paint, but im keeping that a secret for now so keep a look out soon to see what i do to them

think i also might have to go for some 165/50

all comments and opinions welcome

heres how it used to look also while i was waiting for my mate to get some allen keys as i didn't have any the right size lol

They look nice mate. will be good to see what they look like finished,

165/50s would set them off a treat also 8)

Looking much better then the rims you had before. Stretched tyres will set it off but I think you should go for florescent orange on them bad boys :wink: (blind the feck out of everyone this summer!)

I think gold would look nice.

Gold/blue's a good combination imo, was proved on the Clio Williams.

lol these were originally painted orange but the guy i bought them of stripped the paint of cos he wanted them a different color which is fare enuff as im going to be painting them a different color but also imo i would never have orange wheels on anything lol
