[Remedi]

Mmmm nice.

The tyres look chunky!

205/50s?

 

[Clio R]

looks hard as fook sweet

 

[Gary G]

Wheels will be gone as quick as they came, this time tomorrow ill be riding on standard jobbies again

Caliper clearance on the rear is virtually nill and the rear offside fouls the bodywork because of the 3mm shims (provide extra caliper clearance) making the wheels to et37!!

sh*t f**k bollox, put your hand up if you hate cars lol

 

[Turkish]

*waves hands* Thought ET37/8 would be a problem

 

[Gary G]

sucks....the rarerims site is wrong, these dont even come in a 45!! 40 is all they do, couldnt believe there was a problem with caliper clearance!

 

[Ben j]

spacers?

 

[Turkish]

Can you read Ben ?

 

[leeds_182]

F*ckin gutted for you mate.

I had the same problem - gut wrenching when you hear em rub!

 

[Gary G]

yeah, not a nice sound lol. What offset were yours mate...did you notice how close the calipers were to the spokes on the rear?

 

[leeds_182]

Mine were ET37 and I didnt notice TBH.

[Craig]

[Turkish]

Fook me, gnats c**k between there. Even closer than mine are.

 

[Tom]

Wowzers.

Lathe?

*IDEA* get new rear calipers! willwood ones are cheap as.

 

[Gary G]

nope, cant be bothered...theyre going back and getting slipstreams probably now.

[Edited by Gary G on 9/1/2005 5:33:42 PM]

But would they provide the extra clearence Tom? gonna need about 5mm!! as i need to ditch these poxy 3mm spacers

 

[Christopher]

pity.

they look reet good too.

 

[cat171]

Sorry I prefered it as it was.

 

[JayR]

Like the new wheels against the racing blue colour but dont think theyd look good on other colours!!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

stop being gay, and get your angle grinder out, thatll sort the calipers out

 

[portal172]

yep I grinded mine! and the brake pads!

 

[kartman]

Agree with Fred!

Seriously tho, I just remembered what the problem here is. Its wheel design. The spokes come in too much. My mate had the same problem gettin wheels for his fiat coupe.

 

[haitch]

..they look good, shame its another offset horror story

 

[Ali]

Id send them bak, fcuk grinding them...

 

[Gary G]

cat, are you female? every girl i know has prefered the standards lol

Fred, gonna get down to local tool place and treat myself to a new angle grinder ;-) lol

Portal, what rims are you running mate and what modifications exactly did u make?

 

[BIG jts]

look nice "G", Im into my blk wheels

 

[Gary G]

Cheers, John....might be down to see you later today, need a new aerial lol

 

[David]

didnt like them tbh.

 

[fizzy_drink]

Gary..

What offset were you hoping to have (spacers included)?

 

[Chili Red]

Hate to say it, but I prefer the original anthracites..maybe because youve got the same car as me! The Renault alloys make the wheels look much bigger, theyre chunky and solid and they look great.

I do like black wheels on some cars, but not against racing blue.

Oh and yes Im a girly
