Finally fitted the 8X15 Rota Grid V's

[pridzz]

Done a 4hour round trip and met Cliodan26 to pick up some 8x15 Rota Grid V's with ET0 offset, Nice car aswell Dan - 182 on TB's sounds so addictive!

Anyway spent the best part of today and abit of last night fitting them, Have had to grind the Calipers, Few brackets but they are on..

I need to sort the tyres and get some stretch and camber to achieve the look I want on the rear.

 

[Kel182]

Massive fan of grids' fair play to ya fella, looks good in my opinion

 

[Gally]

Looks a bit like a toy car.

 

[Kieran..]

That must constantly scrub like a b**ch!

 

[DannyR]

Is this bright wheel fashion going to stop soon?

They just don't look right on a Clio though.

 

[Stefan.]

i dont know who it is that has the golden rotas on his b/g 182 but these dont pull it off in the same way. :quiet:

 

[SuperJ]

Not a good look IMO.

 

[pridzz]

I havnt finished yet, I need to change tyres and camber to pull this off - Mine are a differnt offset and width to his btw,

 

[DannyR]

And the colour?

 

[Goodj]

isn't it an MOT fail to have wheels outside of arches?

 

[syko6288]

Its is for tyres to stick out of the arch

With the stretch and camber it should sort it .......i realy want a set myself

 

[mossyv6]

isn't it an MOT fail to have wheels outside of arches?

Yes.

 

[Kieran..]

It's only the tread on the tyres iirc that will fail you, will need some crazy stretch for it to get in them arches and not scrub!

 

[Goodj]

ah right.

how to all the "Stance" gheyboiz get away with it then? Just wind their suspension in to look right before running it up to the test centre?

 

[Toms_clio]

not a fan myself sorry

 

[leemckew]

abso love them but you need to watch man if the traffic cops see them they will pull you.

but i do love these wheels

 

[HartZ]

I quite like them fella, thought about a different colour?

 

[gardner51]

Add some rear camber, lower a little more and I think it'll look a lot better!

Ellz

 

[Gally]

ah right.

Friendly MOT tester?

 

[JoeyD]

Don't think they suit it tbh. Different colour (bronze) and smaller tyres might work...

 

[Stefan.]

Then looking identical to the other guys :dapprove:

 

[DannyR]

And having bright wheels isn't identical :rollseyes:

We were doing that while you were still in school!

 

[Šįk]

You need lower profile tyres, the offset and colour is insane. Not a fan sorry.

 

[Stefan.]

And having bright wheels isn't identical :rollseyes:

alrite big man, im just not up for copying people down to the point where its identical you idiot thats all

 

[Kieran..]

Don't go white though be too much like mine lol

 

[Stefan.]

Don't go white though be too much like mine lol

Arnt you selling yours though kieran?

 

[Kieran..]

I'm trying to but like unless I get what I want for it then it's staying, it's seemingly that I would get I want as it stands though lol

 

[DannyR]

alrite big man, im just not up for copying people down to the point where its identical you idiot thats all

Calm down, it was just my opinion! It's not even your car FFS!

 

[Stefan.]

Calm down, it was just my opinion! It's not even your car FFS!

Cant see where i said it was, i just said basically dont make it identical as i thought 'modifying' your own car was to make it your own.

 

[Dave Hester]

The colour does look pretty sh1t tbf

This looks 1000000000000000000 X better

 

[DannyR]

Cant see where i said it was, i just said basically dont make it identical as i thought 'modifying' your own car was to make it your own.

You said about the car the thread is about not looking identical to others, then proceeded to get angry about me saying it was with the bright wheels.

 

[Kieran..]

Tbh I'd like to see satin black, think it would look mean as fook

 

[pridzz]

They will be powdercoated Anthracite when I cba, Raiderman where did you find that pic? They will look mint once I sort the offset out, My plan for this weekend was just getting them on..

 

[Iain C]

Brave choice. Doesnt work for me tho soz

How do you propose to sort the offset out? They're ET0 lol

 

[pridzz]

Meant stance - Duno why I put offset, Changing tyres and camber..

 

[Dave Hester]

You need to put some serious effort into the bodywork to pull this off let alone make your car legal to drive on British roads

The rear arches need to be rolled and pulled out like this.....

BEFORE

AFTER

Ps. Were in 2012 now mate and anthracite has neen done to death.

Go Bronze

 

[Tom]

It looks bad. All this jap wheels on anything that isn't jap trend is just strange. Yes it's different but it's different like a dogshit and cod milkshake.

 

[Alastair.]

Looks terrible.

 

[Ash87]

dark colour maybe will look better
