These are the first pictures I've posted on here of my car as I've not got a job or anything so not very much money to mod my car with yet.
Eventually it will be a 172 replica similar to Karls, I've got all the parts at the moment but I'll make a project thread when I can afford to finish it off.
Anyway, I have been looking for these wheels for about half a year, finally found a decent set for a decent price (£250 with tyres).
Then I discovered that the tyres wouldn't fit on the car for anything, due to being 50 profile. Tried spacers, more spacers, sanding the paint off the strut that it was rubbing on - everything.
I found some Toyo Proxes 4 on eBay for £210 so today I went to Oldham for them fitted to the wheels and get them put on my car. Didn't need spacers, and fitted JUST about which was lucky. Amazing what difference a centimetre can make.
(Also, I know it needs lowering, I know it's filthy and I do have plans for lots of mods so no need to comment on any of that, just the wheels for now. )
