Postby alloywheelsinternational » Fri Oct 27, 2006 10:29 pm

started off buying a car of course with many intentions.
got the car, bought kit. left kit sitting never got fitted. i have now changed the wheels 4 times and i think i have got it right now with the white wheels.
only thing is i dont get the rest of the pictures til tomorrow as thats when she finally got the kit done.
pictures to follow.
but from start.

bought car. :oops:

Image

Cleaned Car and Put on Chrome Wheels. Bit too Bling!! :shock:
Image

Changed the wheels to Black wheels. Nice for a While! :?

Image

Fed up with the black wheels and no other work so changed to white wheels. back to a bit more standard looking wheel to suit the car i think. :?

Image

Bodykit pics to follow tomorrow and interior pics.
will keep you all up to date!

Postby alloywheelsinternational » Fri Oct 27, 2006 10:32 pm

the gold wheels we will not even talk about these wheels.
these did not suit the car at all.

Terry, I've removed the image tag on the last pic you posted - its 2.3Mb in size which is way to big for displaying on a forum.

any advice.


Keep the current (white) rims - they look tasty - wouldn't bother with coilovers - upgrade to KYB dampers and Apex or Eibach springs - much cheaper and more comfortable - the coilovers will knock your fillings out on Irish roads.

I can vouch for that. Got coilovers on mine, came with the car and it can be a fair head wreck
