Post Tue May 24, 2005 10:28 am

very nice! love the wheels!

Post Tue May 24, 2005 10:52 am

very nice indeed mate. the wheels rock. what size are they and how wide? also what size rubber you running. i ask as i have the same wheels, 9j at the back, but have not put them onto the car. also did you have to do any arch work?

Post Tue May 24, 2005 11:30 am

smit

i think it looks really good. looks like your work and expense have really paid dividends in terms of a nice motor.

personally i think it looked better with the motorsport wheels but hey those other rims are still sweet.

Post Tue May 24, 2005 4:28 pm

Looks really nice, and looks like you gone to herculean efforts to make sure it's mint... Well done dude

Post Tue May 24, 2005 4:35 pm

Hi smit,looks great.where bouts are you up north?did you have to replace much bodywork apart from rear panel?

Post Tue May 24, 2005 10:11 pm

Cheers for all the comments not long now till she is full completed just finished lowering her tonight makes it a bit better.

technoviolet the only panel i replaced was the front wing and welded a couple of bits. Am from up near portstewart what about your self??

smit - how wide are the wheels mate and what size rubber you running. did you do much archwork to fit them?

Post Tue May 24, 2005 10:39 pm

nav786 the wheels are 7.5 by 16 front & 9 by 16 back tyres are 205 by 40 by 16 never touched the arches think it will be ok.

Post Tue May 24, 2005 10:48 pm

I like it low at the back... nice.

Post Tue May 24, 2005 10:57 pm

Looks better in real life!!

needs 9's all round I think

And wheres my harp for help lowering it smit??!! :lol:

Post Tue May 24, 2005 11:08 pm

Yeah those are Keskin KT1's, same as mine.

Once you start rteducing the ride height you'll run into some serious clearance issues and need major arch work doing on the back for clearance.

Would be better if you posted in the right section too!

Post Wed May 25, 2005 11:31 am

smit- did you buy the bolts seperate? do you know if it is even possible to take the bolts out?

Post Wed May 25, 2005 6:32 pm

nav786 what bolts would you be talking about the ones for the wheels were with the wheels when i bought them.

sorry E30Adam wasent sure were to put the picks, the back of the car is now lowered by 30mm and she is sitting just right. :lol:

Post Wed May 25, 2005 6:38 pm

car looks the tits mate!

Post Wed May 25, 2005 7:57 pm

yeh the gold wheel bolts mate. they look

Post Wed May 25, 2005 8:02 pm

The car looks REALLY GOOD, nice wheels - nice colour. And if you were to lower it just a little bit it would be 100%

Post Wed May 25, 2005 10:41 pm

nav786 yeah the Gold coast extra per wheel but well worth it i think cant wait to get it back on the road again, was going to bring it over to England for a show this summer but not sure which one????
