New wheels on the car
 
Hi all, just put the new rims on the car at the weekend. I've had the car for 3 years now but started modding it a year ago. Before then it was just standard. So far its really just been cosmetics, now thats done I'm gona start on the engine.

The car as it was when I got it.

All the parts fitted are genuine Subaru, some new and some 2nd hand, apart from the splitter which is from HT Autos. Its been lowered on Teins and has a whiteline ALK.

very nice matey

Meallbhan 09 September 2009 10:27 PM

Thanks guys, yeah I've gone for the subtle look. I don't like those aftermarket bodykits as I think they look a bit barryboys!

It took me bloody ages to decide which rims to go for but now they're on I'm well chuffed. Never thought I'd see the day when I bought gold rims though!

I know what you mean, wheels can make or break a car. What did you go for?

They are 8x18 Ultralite G-Grids. I hummed and hawed for ages on what to go for. Photoshopping certainly won't be a problem for you mate!

RED2 10 September 2009 11:15 PM

very nice :thumb:

Good idea, sry to ambush your thread, but what do people think of em on mine? Can't have gold, so silver?

Or anthracite?

S1FU 11 September 2009 02:19 AM

I think I prefer the anthracite otherwise it's "too" much silver (if you know what I mean).

Meallbhan 11 September 2009 11:38 PM

Bio, the 2nd pic looks they're bronze. They look the best I reckon and thats the colour I was after but after Ultralite stopped doing them last year coz they never sold well. Bummer!

I kinda agree with what Chris said but coloured nuts may change things. Why can't you have gold?

doormatty 12 September 2009 12:22 AM

Put a smaller spoiler on the back and you have my car what more can i say looks great lol

greg2222 12 September 2009 01:01 AM
