thought i'd see how my Cabby looked with the wheel's fitted to my wife's Colt .. seen worse .. don't worry folk's it ain't staying looking like this


YES... I KNOW IT NEED LOWERED

also done 2 wee video's .... via my mobile phone

ah another 4x4 cabriolet

here's my wife's colt with my 14" BBS


they are staying on it as it's for sale and we don't want much £ for it so the wheel's that now sit on my Cabby are only 12 mths old and cost a bit more £ than we want for the Colt

"council'd" my cabby " . You certainly have mate, can understand the reasoning behind it though.

That has to be the biggest gap between tyre and arch that I've ever seen! What size are the council wheels?

the cabby is still a project, suspension is on the list ... if anyone has a set of "split look" spring's PM me
ive also got a set of 15" MiMs that are going on, once they are refurbed

the wheel's are 15" 195/50/15 tyre's they'll be going on to my wife's new car (if they fit?)

ive still got the springs and shocks here for you if your wanting them ian

oops!! i fitted them in the pi55in rain, never even gave the direction a thought!
the car won't be moving much for a couple of week's so they can stay wrong
hopefully have the MiMs fitted for it being all leagle and some roof down driving

nothing received yet bud but you have my number call me

i like it

but the radius of your wheels is still too small and your tyres are still the wrong way around

try again....

the colt's not been photo shopped, they are on the colt, same PCD

is the center bore the same size too?

couldn't get bbs on my toyota unfortunately as wrong center bore but it drove very well on a trial run - it's a really light car and good wheels gave amazing grip. how does the colt feel on bbs?

I recognise those wheels.................that car.....................Oi?! Please send royalties cheque to:-

Blitz what BBS you have fitted?

the centre bore was slightly bigger on the BBS than what the Colt need's .. not by much though, i didn't have to fiddle about fitting the BBS as the colt has stud's so they held the wheel while i put the bolt's on
as for the feeling while driving .. i couldn't tell you? all i did was fit them, made sure they cleard everything and handed the key's back to my wife

i had 15" BBS on a Honda civic made a great difference it was like a go-cart when they were on it

Blitz .. could you "shop" these on to my cabby? .. please

Here you go
