MY NEW WHEELS.......RONAL LS's

Fri Jan 20, 2006 2:24 am

hello everyone

as some of you may have seen, there was a thread
with a pic of these there, but ive finally got them now so
just thought i would share with you a few pics
of my new wheels. they havent got ant shoes yet
until i can afford them so just sitting in my room at
the moment.

i got them imported from germany and they only
took 6 days.

they actually arrived wednesday morning but
i was at work so they gracefully came this morning.

this is my first set of wheels for my first car so im well excited

well heres a few pics anyway

let me know what you think of them...any
comments welcome

Fri Jan 20, 2006 2:32 am

nice tread and value for money

Welcome to the club mate. Got me some LS's too. Im running 205/55's, 215s look better if you can find them though, nice and mean front the front.

Make sure you dont curb them, ive got a couple of dings on mine!

I could not agree more.

225's should be on those.

Fri Jan 20, 2006 4:42 pm

fook me, they are as big as your washing machine!!

Very nice fella, but i must say i dont like stretched tyres, look a bit on the

side.

Fri Jan 20, 2006 4:51 pm

lovely wheels mate. i wouldnt say stretched tyres are for gays. folks in germany etc. started doing it cos they had lowered their cars so much and flared the arches that "correct" sized tyres simply wouldnt fit. i personally like the look of slightly stretched tyres, my girlfriend has 195 width Toyos on her 8.5" wide BBS splits.

if i was you i wouldnt get 40 or 45 series tyres on 15" rims, they wont fill the arches at all and your sump will be about an inch off the ground. i have 55 series tyres on my 15" bbs and they look a bit chunky IMO but they came with the car. I'd say 50 series is your best bet.

Enjoy your rims, they are sweeet

I have 245's on my 8.5's

Fri Jan 20, 2006 5:03 pm

haha! thats some difference. we ordered her wheels from germany and the chap told us that they were 7.5" wide so i ordered 195 tyres. when they arrived i measured the width and the fronts were 8" and the rears 8.5". the tyre fitter said they might not fit or will be tooo stretched but they arent that bad considering! i'm so jealous, i want them for my car....

Stretched tyres and lips on show look the business.

Yeah mate, luvin those rims!!!

Mon Jan 23, 2006 11:42 am

will over stretching a tyre be a safety problem? like if you take a corner very, very hard and the tyre comes off the rim??
