Do you have issues with the wheels touching/rubbing the arch?

Nope, but my car aint that low but all four arches have been rolled, I've had a trolley jack under the rear wishbone the wheel cambers and got right into the arch but no contact with it. Fronts is limited, too low and for certain it'll shread the tyre.

Theres only one down fall of these wheels and that is when you look at the car from the side. They just look like plain old steel wheels and you can't even see the dish, however look at it from the front or rear and it look like a total different wheel. I've got a 3" dish on the front and 4" on the rear. I was running Borbet B's before and the response i get on the road with these wheels is so much different just a shame theyre not diamond cut winkeye , even had an old couple at a crossing pointing once wonder what they were thinking....

Evenin folks,

I've been toying with the idea of centre caps for a while and after getting hold of a few types (mainly VW) i came up with these.
It wasn't easy maybe even more hassle than it was worth but after alot of head scratching and modifying i got them to fit. The caps are off a GTI i think and i even added some BMW badges over the VW.......its all in the detail!!!

Hope you like it, its now prob the only set in existance.

Sorry.. but I think it looks silly.

I'm all for wide wheels and stretched tyres, but for me and my taste they are too wide for that car.. and I think the car needs to be lower and you need some side skirts..

Very tidy looking car though! Looks cool 8)

I kinda thought it wouldn't be everyones cup of tea but main thing for me was cost.

I was running Borbet B's before and these wheels sit in almost the same position but look so much deeper. I've got se side skirts for it which have been off as i'm getting the car schutz'd and the sills too so they've got to go back on yet. The suspension has only done a couple of hundred miles so i'm sure it will go lower eventually (i'm actually dreading)

Yeah the wheels were done by them, Don't know what wheels they are but try finding 4x100 steels in 16" and you'll know how rare they are.

i think you need a bigger badge (55mm) and in the centre, it would take away from the big plain cap imo.
my old car still looks 8) though, i miss the black one sometimes, but my white one is still sweet. best wishes with it, adi :)

Prefer it without the caps.

I cant help thinking that a 15" wheel may looks slightly better though, there's too much plain metal going on in the centre of the wheel ...if you catch my drift?



Edit: Dude, let me know if you think of selling up, im in the market for a 318is and i love that!

Might look good with the centers painted a different colour. Gold perhaps. This also shows of the dish more.

Hmmm to pull off the wide wheels it needs to sit a lot lower imo

Apart from that it's looking smart, loving the recaro's 8)
