dutty_112 · Mar 8, 2006

mat-nos · Mar 8, 2006

keskin blocklights are mint wheels and look alot better on with some stretched rubber and decked!!

have alook on styledynamix.co.uk thats where i got mine from !!

Ed_182 · Mar 8, 2006

nice lookin rims, would look good with smoothed bodywork and coilovers

Turkish · Mar 8, 2006

ET30 with a drop you'll be pushing your luck i reckon.

run115 · Mar 8, 2006

yes, will be there for the main event. Last time i was there was in 2001 when my maltese friend was there in his top methanol dragster.

Will be good, you camping there as well, cos i am!

awesome wheels. i had a pic of a black mk1 172 with them off the old cliosport gallery. looked mint

hoperacing · Mar 8, 2006

can you find that pic anywhere middo.
wanted to get an idea what it will look like.
answer to other comments
already on coilovers so will just go as low as i can without it rubbing.
the ofset of et30?wil this be a major issue and will the problem be at the front getting full lock or at the back.
already got tires 195/45/15 so yeah will be the euro streched tyre look.
this should also give me a bit more clearance near the top as top of the tye is still only 195 oppose to 225 what usually go with an 8 inch rim!

hoperacing · Mar 8, 2006

yeah vince i will be camping.
will av to meet up for a beer.
i will get your mobile number before the meet. just hope the weather is good like last years main event

run115 · Mar 8, 2006

Yeah mate, will pm you nearer to the time.

are those the wheels 'the big yin' had?

Englebert · Mar 9, 2006

Not keen on those particular wheels but i would love to euro my car. Thing is, you'd need airbags or hydraulics as i haven't seen coilovers low enough. When you have super wide wheels and are lowered like 120mm you're going to be replacing bits regularly too!

Middo · Mar 9, 2006

thats not the point tho is it lol

looks smart as fook if done right - for anyone who may be interested (thanks to winston) this is the pic of the wheels at the top of the thread:

hoperacing · Mar 9, 2006

i dont know who big yin is mate?
you posted a pic with a corsa with some on.
its doing my head in making a decision on which ones to go for.
dont want to spend more than 450 to 500 euro's before delivery really? thats without tires of course as i have a set here ready to go.
borbet bs
rh ad cup
keskin kt5
keskin kt3
shmidt revolutions!!!!
doing my tree in and the list goes on!
any suggestions guys. BBS's would be lovely but i aint got drug dealer money to spend if you get what i'm saying.

hoperacing · Mar 9, 2006

got mine on 15s at the min with 185/55/15's on with gaz coilovers about 7/10 way down and i cant get a trolly juck under the sils at the front so should get it low enough

mattrt · Mar 9, 2006

do it do it, i want to see them on

mattrt · Mar 9, 2006

in fact id love them on my corsa

Middo · Mar 9, 2006

the corsa! of cause

will have a look for you

i will but just dont want to rush into it and end up thinking i wish i had got those one's......!
that one middo has posted is really swaying me towards the keskin kt5's. subtle and low cost styling! slammed, tints, and great rims. only problem is mine is silver!!

doesnt cost much for respray

hoperacing · Mar 9, 2006

silver to black!
cost more than my student loan mate!
plus when you change the colour completely it gets messy.door cards out everything off carpets out etc. its got to be done right if its getting done. plus dont really mind silver. first silver car i've had. my last car i still say was the best looking though.
alfa 145 in rossa red on 17s.
looked the nuts but liked living on the drive with electrical faults like all alfa's!!

Middo · Mar 9, 2006

also am almost certain that 'the big yin' had rh cups on his clio mk2, but cant find any pics im afraid

student loan and a 172 - wish my student loan would stretch that far. i have to struggle to make do with my 1.2 lmao

The Big Yin · Mar 10, 2006

Enzo cups matey not as deep dished as the RH ones - No pics im afraid but i know someone has one on the site as they posted it a few weeks ago May have been Vinny c

V1NNY · Mar 10, 2006

Might have been me, cant find the pic but this ones the same i think

william... · Mar 10, 2006

The Driver is named ReWe in cliowelt.de.
The Rims are 7,5x16 with 195/45

I mean not wide enough. 9x16 rulz

Iain C · Mar 10, 2006

Im a big euro fan but that just isn't right

Vinny yeah they are the same ones dont look as nice on that car ;-)

Middo · Mar 10, 2006

i like it, but could be wider for my liking

John2Modified · Mar 10, 2006

Not sure about the KT5 Blocklights on a CLio Mk2, camera angles sometimes dont help though

If you want some more suggestions, add me to msn - Msn@2modified.com - we deal in alot of Euro Wheels so can hopefully sort out a deal for you

hoperacing · Mar 10, 2006

i think your right middo.
the 7.5 by 16's have less dish so to speak than the 9 by 16 or even the 8 by 15's which im looking at. this shos in that pic i think!
can always e bay em if i dont like what i buy i guess.
oh and middo the student loan didn't buy the car. that 4 grand of pizza delivery money mate!!!! only got a loan this year and its my third and final year so banking as much of it as i can for deposit on house etc!
got an ax diesel to deliver pizza's. 60mpg all day!

hoperacing · Jul 1, 2006

right guys.
as some of you are aware i paid for my euro rims from an e bay seller about 15 weeks ago. while i was on holiday they arrived and got fitted yesterday. i got the kt5's at first which the majority of members who passed judgement was of the negative variety.
forgotten how to load some pics up so could someone let me know the best way and you can all pass judgment now the finished result. oh and 15x8's with an et30 there was only the slightest clearence problem on the fronts where 2 mm had to be skimmed off the highest points of the calliper. and its dropped and all clear at the back because of the strech on the tire!
god that was a long post!
