Question

What do you think of my new wheels? Not too sure myself. I know it needs lowering but this will hopefully be sorted out on April 15th if Trouser has time to book me in that day.



O.E.Wheels


O.Z.P1 in 18"


Cheers

Spot on, have a set of 17's on my Blue/Black, certainly prefer them to gold.

New springs will just make it better.

Alas I do not actually have any pictures of it or access to a digital camera to produce one for you.

One of the moderators on here has a Blue/Black Mica with 18" 10 spokes.

Cool

Nick

They are 18's but dont look as big as your super leggs. Probably down to colour. The black strip is the standard side protection mouldings. I hate parking dents[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] so got these for protection . Apparently paint doesn't like the material and peels off so I left them black. Are you getting yours lowered?

Are they really 18"s?? Look no bigger than the standard 17's. You deffo need to lower it to fill those arches a bit more.

Cheers guys.

Markus, no nut problems here

I think they looked a bit dark to start with but I'm getting used to them now. And they add a little bit more weight to the steering. Just need it lowered now.

Hi Nathan

Where you bin?

Also what you done with your old wheels? Wanna sell them?

Car looks good - surprised about paint problems on the protection strips. Mine were colour coded two years ago and no problems so far.

Keep in touch
