Metallic Grey OZ Trial Fit

[Ricardos]

The locking wheel nut came through the post yesterday (Thanks Christopher ) so i thought i'd trial fit the OZ Racing wheels

1: To make sure the centre bores were ok (were machined out from VW 57mm)
2: Make sure they clear the GAZ front strut
3: See if the Graphite Grey suited the RB

They are in colour but not lacquered yet, which hopefully i'll do today then have new tyres fitted the end of next week. Maybe i should have waited to put tyres on before posting

I'm in love <3

I trial fitted these on my Zetec-S, look even better on your 182

 

[Keith185]

Those will look awesome Getting OZ decals put back on them?

 

[James28]

How many jacks do you need to hold up the worlds smallest car haha!!

Sack the 'widowmaker' ones though. Trolley jacks FTW.

The jack holding the Clio up is a Jag item so more than man enough

The trolley jack was used to lift the wheel up in the arch a bit

Looks good, imo i'd leave the decals off...

 

[Jacko90]

Get black details and they will look spot on!!

 

[Wick]

They look brilliant Rich!

 

[Christopher]

Love it! Miss this car loads though :dapprove:

Glad you got the key ok mate!

And yeah, as Rich said, the jack is from our old XKR. So it'll do a decent job of holding up a one tonne Clio! lol.

 

[Danith]

They look terrible, give them to me and i'll get rid of them for you

 

[Gally]

I f**king love them. Proper Ford wheel!

Think the Monte Carlo Escos had them as standard.

I want them for the Frp!

 

[JoeyD]

They'll look great! I almost got some for the '6 but was outbid at the last minute.
Has the gearbox been sorted yet?

 

[NorthloopCup]

My oh my! That looks excellent!!

 

[Matt Cup]

Awesome, can't wait to see them fitted properly

 

[LewisTaylor]

Looks good, nice to see something slightly different

 

[ElkWorks]

a mates got a set of the VW motorsport ones for his mk2 golf, i keep trying to pursuade him to give them to me

look real good on the RB, top work

 

[Will.]

Hmm not to sure tbh. I'll save my judgement for when they are on properly with tyres.

 

[Scrooge]

Looks better the way Chris had it but still not terrible looking by a long shot.

 

[chriscummins7]

they're going to look awesome!

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Jury's still out for me TBH.

When will these be on, Rich ?

I see what you mean now. Hmm.

I miss that car. :dapprove:

 

[Ricardos]

Pics taken on my HTC and uploading from the I Pad, a right mission!

 

[Cub.]

Back to white is my vote. Or lighten them to silver. Or white.

I honestly can't be bothered to paint them all again! I don't want to spend more money on something that might not look right... Again

Photoshop it?

But in the mean time clean it up properly and get some tyre shine on there, it'll look better after that. Maybe some decals on the wheels to bring it out a bit? I'm not sure...

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

They're bloody horrible looking wheels anyway. Are these turbines ? Or very similar ?!

Look like old washing machine drums. Do not want ! :dead:

 

[ColinG]

Hmmm they look "ok" I think it's just because they are so different to what normally gets fitted

Probably a grower though!
