The offset should be stamped on the back of them somewhere (mine is stamped on the rim on the back) ET?? should be ET 37 + or - 3
Were the wheels balanced??? By this i mean do you have little metal weights stuck to the inside of the rim?????
But arent most composite materials stronger then metal though???? F1 cars are built from carbon fibre and they do alright crashing at 160mph!!!!!
The new TVR is all carrbon fibre bodied and it does 215mph, so i dont think strength is really an issue when it comes to carbon fibre...
Yep as long as your wheels are the right offset (do you know what offset yours are??? ET??)
I Run ET37 17s on a 60mm drop, i can carry 4 passengers (my fat mates!!!) and me driving (with a sub and false floor in the boot) the tyres go up in the arches, but no scrubbing!!!!!!
Yeah it is a bit old!!!!! I will get round to updating it as soon as i can work out how to install the softtware for my new camera!!!!!
Have you spent that money yet???? managed to get the new interior in in about 2hrs (sorted the rips out with epoxy resin, duck tape and my mums sewing...
"im not a big fan of noisy cars"??????????? So your bolting on a turbo to make 300bhp?????? Dont worry Nick, im sure itll be queiter than my 1.2!!!!!! Yeah, well see!!!!!!
Im gonna wack one of those universal jap style mesh filters onto the pipercross base plate, hopefully this should louden things up!!!!
Have you ever ran your car without the airbox????? Bloody loud!!!!!
It is easy, just spray the back (the sticky bit) with water/fairy liquid, and spray the windscreen, wack it on, position, then squeaze out all the air bubles and water using a credit card with a cloth over it
Pro tint companys can wack them on the inside, but all of the after market solid colour vinyl ones (boy racer stylee, like mine!!!) go on the outside using fairy liquid and water!!!!
Doesnt really matter if you dont match speakers to HU + amp. I have Pioneer 2 or 3 ways (cant remember which!!!!!) in the back of mine only £35, but they sound brilliant much better than the "Happy Clappy" speakers the cars come with!!!!!
Cup with aircon???? Na, Cup with Leather would be more popular (saying that though you are in a bloody hot climate!!!!) Cup with Leather in Uk would sell
Just buy a 172, LOL!!!!!!
