Some chap in the background is wearing a wax jacket and sipping on two cups of tea! What a pimp.

I love the wheels... and I usually don't like the 'correct' amount of profile. I would assume these are 15" but they look like 14" to my eyes... Am I just used to seeing larger BBS rims?

Its because most are on stretched tyres (Euro look).

Still one of my fav cars on the zone by a country mile.

Those wheels really make it look more agressive :D

What's with the farm-spec tyre profile Chris? Must be a super plush ride. Have you seen the error of your ways and binned those tacky Hartge rims or are you being a Dave and running on your winter rims? Maybe it's an age thing and comfort is high up on your priority list?? winkeye

Nice ride, love the front end

This might be a dumb question but is that a pre facelift car? The front looks pre and the rear looks post?

Was this car not on 16" Hartge rims?
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Tyres look too big and balloony :o:

Needs to go lower at the front too.

Apart from that, it looks good :D

To get the 'look' go for 50 profile tyres, drop the front and space the rears out .

Nice wheels 8)

Tyres are perfect size. Would look great in gold.

I've got same type of tyres below where they look old skool. Its where tyre wall is round and tyre tread is old skool.

I like this idea, but what would this do to the handling though?
