New Wheels

[Hooky108]

Guys,

dunno if any of you have read my wanted posts. Basically I was after some new alloys as my 17's were fooked and I had enough of the hard ride. So I wanted to go back to 15's. I tried for about a week to get some new alloys on here and thought I had found some but the dude wasnt willing to move on the money he wanted so we couldnt do a deal

anyways long story short I got my 15's today with tyres fully fitted for £275.00 what a deal here are some pics.

[Hooky108]

hopefully you can see them now?

 

[MOFO]

what you done with your old ones? any pics of them?

 

[Hooky108]

i knew you would ask lol couldnt be arsed to drag them home so I told them they could keep em. They were crappy wheels and the tyres needed replacing anyways. glad to be shot. Although I do have a set of Fox Evo 3 in Crystal finish just sitting in my garage. I think you might just see the four alloy boxes in the back of the garage in one of the photos.

One is slightly buckled and didnt go through an MOT. All have some sort of kerb damage. this is what they used to look like.

 

[MOFO]

how bad is the buckel and how much you want for them?

dunno how bad it is. Bad enough to fail the MOT. Been sitting in my garage for about a year and a bit. No tyres on them would take £50.00 for em.

ok mate, get me pics of them all and ill sort somthing out

 

[Hooky108]

no probs will post up pics tomorrow.

The 15's look swamped by those bloody skirts now, prefered it on 17's.

I'd get shut of those skirts :/ sorry mate

 

[Christopher]

skirts are total gash imo.

looks tidy other than that mate.

 

[Hooky108]

yeah I feel the same now. Skirts might have to go when I get some money.

 

[Christopher]

if you're gonna get rid mate, get some RS replica skirts. they're a lot more subtle.

especially now you're back to 15's, the skirts you have kinda drown the wheels...never a good look.

I'm getting shot of the skirts Dont think I'll put any others on. Going to take a trip to my local body shop to see how much to take em off. I was thinking that seeing as they will probably have to re-spray most of the bottom half of the car I might as well get it all done. It will look mint then Also what do you reckon to changing the black strips on the sides to colour match the car? I'm sure others have done it. Does it look good? and does the paint stay on? Then where the 16v bits are try and get them in silver, or get them sprayed the same as the car but try and leave the 16v in silver. Seeing as I'm going to have to get some spray done I might as well try something a little different so it doesnt look standard.

what do you reckon? also anyone know about how much its going to cost me to get it sprayed?
