Pics inside - New wheels on (sort of) - Now to become a sheep or chase the hero spec?



W

Wick

Trial fitted the new OZ's tonight. Only the 2 with tyres on and I now face the inevitable dilemma. Currently on sportlines so do I...

a) Be a sheep and fork out on cheap coilies and respray the wheels in anthracite

or

b) Chase the hero spec and fit DS2500's and a whiteline

They're all the same picture Samuel.

But, sod coilies, sod painting them. I think it looks great as is, get them fitted mate.

Oh, and fit some 25mm spacers. Done.

ewwwwww.

F1's for Phs1 only. They look wrong on 182's. Like you've gone for the cheap option on tyres

Still a bit undecided myself!

Haha the "Arrowspeeds" were on there when I picked them up last week. Yoko P Spec 2's/Rainsports/V12 evo's will be going on come pay day! No place for cheap tyres although looking forward to saving a packet on 15"s

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Bit of a mixture regarding the arch gap...

Leave them silver! Imo id go for coilovers, and the money used for the refurb on the arb.

I think PH2's look great on F1's. Looks spot on, DS2500's and a whiteline for me, too.

i like the f1s on that, like the silver look to :)

why not buy the brakes and arb and see how you get on. being low looks good but can have its inconveniences on a fast, bumpy b-road.

also do the wheels as mentioned a few months before........ blue ;)

Re: Pics inside - New wheels on (sort of) - Now to become a sheep or chase the hero s

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Much appreciated!

Seem's that there is a strong CS divide between the "form vs function" suspension set up and the Ph2 on F1's look!

Change of plan Mark... I grew some sense and they will now be silver or anthracite lol!

Surprised I actually like silver, thought I was going to hate it when I got them on.

Stick with silver, anthracite may make them look smaller.

I do like the silver too and you don't have to colour code other parts. If you did it blue I guess you would need a theme going on for it to work.

15s feel so much better too! Is1 has a good point though.

Sam dude, that looks awesome! I know you mentioned youve been trying to do it for a while. I think leave the ride height and colour to be honest!

Re: Pics inside - New wheels on (sort of) - Now to become a sheep or chase the hero s

I have a similar problem. Just swapped my standard Ph2 wheels for 16" Turinis. No change in size but it just looks like it now needs to go lower. I can't be arsed stiffening the ride with coilys though. Decisions, decisions

I love a good arch gap.

Looks like it will be awesome fun on a B road.
