Do you have issues with the wheels touching/rubbing the arch?
My I.S- rollin on splits (new pics page 6)

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
, 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

I kinda thought it wouldn't be everyones cup of tea but main thing for me was cost.Leemc2009 wrote:Sorry.. but I think it looks silly.

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)
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
though, i miss the black one sometimes, but my white one is still sweet. best wishes with it, adi

Get a f* grip,we are talking about 20+yr.old sub £10k cars here,NOT the crown jewels!
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!

Well the car had been off road since sept, lots of work has been done underneath and i had it taxed and tested today, flew through no problems.
some new pics for you all;

Corrado rear bench finished

Dyed rs turbo recaros, look more black in reality then they do in this pic

Different strokes for different folks, i always loved the Ford Rs steering so ihad to have it on my E30. Mine doesn't say Ford on the wheel or RS on the centre anymore
