I Just Bought Me And My Car You'l Some Brand New Shoes!

[Rage]

Yeh Ludacris! lol

Just bought the new wheels for the project Ph-uck JDMyo! lol
With the centre bores being the wrong size, its trial and error, grinding abit out with the dremel, and re-trying them on, got the 2 rears on now, and working on the front 2 later today

anywy, here are some teaser pics

hope you like,...

This is them when i picked them up

This is them in my living room, after the 9 hour round trip to fetch them!

Then here is a pic trialing them to fit..

And thats the first 2 rear ones on

Next on the modifing list after i got the other 2 wheels on...

Coilovers.

 

[Timmay]

was gonna say that needs lowering

good start tho!

 

[leighk18]

[rctempire]

Looks ok. What you doing with the RSi wheels?

 

[Rage]

RCTempire....Sold them on EBAY.

 

[rctempire]

RCTempire....Sold them on EBAY.

damn, i liked them, would have looked good on my clio. Too slow again. :dapprove: Always seems to be the case with you and me, i see something i want and its gone.

 

[Rage]

Aha, yeah

The rsi wheels only went for £130....Dont know what they usually go for, but the previous owner had 4 new tyres on before i collected it 3 weeks ago

[Rage]

[Chrisjk]

Ill be keeping an eye on this 1, RSi's FTW!

 

[Rage]

Chrisjk you got it. RSI FTW! aha

 

[Ali]

I think it'll look....Odd to be honest! Can't give a reason for why...

 

[CH33MA]

best of lowering it to the floor for them to look good.

 

[Coby.]

Not keen myself, like Ali I don't really know why, just not my Cuppa

 

[DynamiqueDebz]

Ooooo, I really like those. I don't think I'd like cleaning them though, mine are bad enough. I think she'll look lovely once she's been lowered.

 

[Ali]

LOL! for the visually impaired!

 

[philthy]

good job i selling mine...

 

[Ali]

good job i selling mine...

are you?

 

[Pep]

How much did you pay rage? I nearly bought a similar set for mine a few months ago, love them! Whats the offset?

 

[Christopher]

when i saw pics of the wheels i neary moistened my patch... but they look odd on the car :S

a hooge drop will help 100x

 

[Millsy]

wheels will look better once lowered, get them coilies dude

 

[Phoenix]

deffo coils next dude....nice n low like the valver...

 

[GarethM]

im not keen tbh

 

[Beef-Mc]

I like them for some strange reason.

 

[philthy]

good job im selling mine...

are you?

yup, the front brakes are too big... f*****s.

 

[The Big Yin]

good job i selling mine...

are you?

They don't fit over his four pots

 

[bmh.01]

Grinding the centre bore out with a dremel? Now it might just be me and I might be completely wrong but is that not one of the most stupid f**king ideas i've ever heard?

How the hell are you removing exactly the same ammount of metal from each side so that the wheel mounts centrally?(sp?)? The center bore could be off centre now?

 

[Christopher]

spigot rings required imo

 

[philthy]

the bolts centre the wheel.

they are only 3mm smaller than the clio fitment anyway so not like you have to take much metal awah

 

[Ian_182]

They look ok

 

[bmh.01]

spigot rings required imo

Doesn't matter if the bore isn't central.

the bolts centre the wheel.

they are only 3mm smaller than the clio fitment anyway so not like you have to take much metal awah

Yeh I appreciate that but the weight of the car is taken on the centre bore not the wheel bolts as standard, i'd be using studs with that tbh. (well I wouldn't because i'd have done a proper job and had them machined, remember they're the only thing connecting the rubber to the car)

 

[philthy]

i had mine sent off to be machined but stopped the guy as they dont clear the brakes.

not so long ago cars never had centering holes...

 

[cafcross]

look a bit weird atm but gonna be interesting when everything else is done. what's the other plans for the car?

 

[Rage]

not saying what the other plans are yet....keeping them hush

next on the agender is coilovers, and yes the car will benifit from a triple figure drop that the valver got treated too also )

 

[cafcross]

will you be beating jordan's drop?

 

[Owen]

Are these the wheels that were on PH?

 

[philthy]

will you be beating jordan's drop?

dnt think thats physically possible

 

[Rage]

will i be beating jordans drop?

Phoneix.....? Damb Right!!!!!!!!! if anyone saw the valver they'd know what i mean

nope, the wheels were off a vw. never fitted on a renault before ( this exact set like)
