Smiler AS Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Gold ones look great but as rallyfever says "what about white?" Nah, dont fancy white, would be forever cleaning them after belting about the local roads! Link to comment
scooby222 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 that is still the nicest wagon around mate,top marks gold is rally slag, grey are street racer - gold for me and col feel free to drop me a pm with a price for your wheels Link to comment
Smiler AS Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) gold is rally slag, grey are street racer You have got a point there, "gold is rally slag" but a rally slag wagon? I like the sound of the "street racer" kinda sleeper look, grey maybe goes with the black grills and splitter better? But then I do like the design and size of the gold speedlines??

gus the bus Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I actually really like it with what its got on But between the two it would deffo be the speedlines Link to comment
Smiler AS Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 I actually really like it with what its got on Yeh, std. alloys are fine and the quality of the Vredesteins (215/45/17) are great, couldnt fault them at all until now, since the new turbo went in, if I press the "fun pedal" while cornering or on a bend, with the huge amount of torque (382lbs/ft) I can feel the tyre wall flexing and come back and its a bit scary, so im thinking wider tyres 225 and less profile 40.

bobbyc Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 just to mix things up like the speedlines but in black, think it would set the car off, or the black innovit's with the red rim to match your undertray Link to comment
Smiler AS Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 just to mix things up like the speedlines but in black, think it would set the car off, or the black innovit's with the red rim to match your undertray Both have crossed my mind, not sure how much it would be to get the speedlines properly powder coated / redone in a gark grey / anthracite?? Anyone any idea? Did think about the Redline Innovits too but wasnt keen on a black wheel, means I would have to keep the tyre walls clean and shiny all the time as I didnt like the look when the wheels themselves were more black than the tyres ( if that makes sense!?!)

tommo9375 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 (edited) Smiler AS, You'll be £40 a wheel to get them powdercoated from a place in Inverurie called PPS - they're seemingly very good. I've got a set of Rota GRA's in anchracite grey on my bugeye at the moment and intend swapping my front wheels to the back sometime this week - so if you want to come down and try them on your wagon give me a shout.

rallyfever Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Hey Smiler, Since your a dab hand with the old photobucket, stick some 18" white speedlines on this bad boy and show me what it looks like fella. Hopefully gonna pick it up early this week if it is as good as the guy says, would love to put the Roget Clark Gobstopper graphics on it too for a bit subtle bling - if you have nothing to do you could always try and put some on the pic too to see what that would look like!!!!!
