0o0o0o0 i like them second ones alot!!!!.... please tell me its £155 for all 4 hahaha!!!....

You may pay a premium for them (dont skimp on tyres as the last thing you want is it poking into a hedge as soon as it rains)

You may get a set used from somewhere but you might wait a while.

ET39 is the offset iirc (can someone confirm please)

 

[Hunty2009]

So i take it looking at the pics you sent me ... you would recommend black alloys instead of white...?

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Definatley, you tried keeping white alloys clean?

Looks great for all of about 5 minutes. Black works well, you should drop it 30mm aswell

 

[Hunty2009]

yeah definitley gonna drop it ... what size you recommend... 17"?.... my dad bought me the car and expected me to keep it standard lol ... i think not!!!

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Only thing i would say about getting 17" is that somtimes they look a bit too big if you know what i mean. Black wheels might not look too bad...?

And on the other hand, tyres are a b**ch to get when they are 16" beleive it or not!

Id maybe just get 16"s and drop it i think, imo anyway!

Hunty2009 - I have a set of 182 wheels in white for sale, if your interested? just been powdercoated with tyres (2 of them being newish)

Let me know.

 

[Hunty2009]

yeah because my brother took 17" wolfrace alloys of his car (corsa)... and all the tyres are iligal on them lol so i was thinking of putting them on but i want black ones .... being a student with no job its kinda hard affording everything tho lol ... i have to sponge as much as i can haha

17" look good with a good drop..!

Tough choice...

white, will be a b**ch having to clean the wheels every week
black, will be forever applying tyre gel

so go for anthracite lol
