stressing About my alloys?!

[James1470]

Guys Im stressing about my wheels.. heres the deal ... my alloys are 16'' ... yet they look tiny on my car(see pic) ... i have just lowered it 45 mil.. and thats all i can do, due to getting on and off my drive without killing my exhaust etc..

i dont know if im being picky because i want somthing else to do... but its really starting to frustrate me haha... do they look tidy or what!? ...

NEEED!

Look good, but needs to be lower

 

[James1470]

cant lower it any more my driveway angles .. and kills cars haha

 

[maynard]

it's crying out to go lower! surely you can go lower and get on the drive?

 

[maynard]

pics of the driveway needed!

i havnt got a drive way as its all stones etc and i dont get any troubles, just lower it fella, but a nice rubber spliter on the front to take the damage of scraping

 

[James1470]

the drive killed a mini with the normal drop in the chilli pack i think its in.. it cant go lower lol

i was thinking maybe save up for some 17 or 18s lol

i agree the alloys are nice, but it needs to be lower. Have you tried a different suspension set up, because my old golf mark 2 was slammed and it was on Aftermarket shocks and springs and my drive is viscious also. Also wheel alignment and tyres play a big part in it, maybe lower the profile and then lower the car more?

 

[James1470]

its 100% impossible to drop it any lower... so i dont know what to do haha

I think it looks fine. The wheels seem to look smaller because the spokes aren't right to the edge.

 

[Keano]

22" Spinners needed

 

[James1470]

haha think i should just leave it ? its not like its annoying me, or its ugly haha i like the look and everything, and the contrasting color, just playing on my mind they look a bit small

 

[TomBear]

get a adjustable suspension system set up that you can raise when you get to the drive and lower once out

 

[James1470]

how much is that?

 

[clio_luke]

17's would fill the arch gap better

 

[TomBear]

dunno probably wont be cheap

 

[Keano]

£2k

 

[James1470]

think 17's will set if off better? .. its probably the best choice..

 

[clio_andy]

17"s and hydro's ftw...not that i have either of those

 

[-J-]

Move house then lower it Needs decking (The car not the new house)

Can't you get some ramps for you driveway or something? Or mod your driveway?

With ramps you could put them there for going in and out? Might be messing around but at least you could slam it?

I don't think the wheels suit the car. Your alloys are a sporty/racing wheel, nothing else on the car gives that impression!

 

[sofaboy]

That looks miles better. surely its not lowered in the pics you put up?

mines on factory 16"s not lowered at all and doesnt look as high as that

 

[James1470]

nah it wasnt lowered in the before pic this is on a 45m drop after

Car looks cool mate, dont stress.

mine, at the moment, is lowered 30mm on the 15s. Ive had it scrape a few times! Just because the wheels are tiny though and i was going up an uneven farm track...
