i really like those, im after some new wheels that have this sort of look,not quite decided on what yet though.

i love the way they stick out of the arches

Dan- 26 October 2012 10:07 PM

they look amazing on the car!!!

Stunning! What suspension are you using?

jameswrx 27 October 2012 12:10 AM

Certainly a nice looking rim these. Whenever I see them I can't help thinking they'd look better without the chrome centre caps. They need a flush fitting centre in wheel colour rather than the raised chrome ones IMO

Its only on Tein S tech Springs, I am planing on fitting HSD coilovers in the new year.

Had a few photos taken by SRB on Sunday at pod.

Looks cool definetly needs dropping, I'm going to change my tein springs for coilovers as its still not perfect on the stechs, that's the only thing with wheels like this the ride height needs to be spot on for it look right :)

daz3883 02 November 2012 11:34 PM

I know where your coming from. it defo needs dropping, i want it to look right but at the same time i want the ride quality to stay the same. dont want it to hard as my little girl is due to be born in january so dont want to be bouncin all over the place lol

What size wheels and tyres have you got mate? I'm getting rubbing on the rears but didt want to do any arch work. I have 18x8.75 with 225/40/18 tyres

Mine are this size with no rubbing but mines a widetrack that might be why.. I'm not sure.

Arch rolling isn't expensive mate.

M2RTXhawkeye 03 November 2012 05:23 PM

Across normal driving I have no problems mate the cars on bc coilovers too. When driving around corners hard I get the occasional rub on the rear.
May try a little bit more camber on the rears and stiffen them up a little 1st

Cheers

No i didn't get my wheels from Revolution, dont mind him using the pictures though, i guess its a compliment! I'll have a look what size tyres i have on tomorrow. The only problem i have with them at that height is my coilovers are set hard, it can be a bit harsh around the Derbyshire roads. Although i can't drive it at the moment, came off my bike a few months ago and only just starting to walk again, i'm hoping i can drive a clutch again but i might have to go auto, not a happy chap.

ProdriveSTI 07 November 2012 05:27 AM

They look great :)

really suit the scoobs

Bazza690 12 February 2013 08:10 PM

Dibbleyuk what offset have u got

GIBZY 12 February 2013 11:17 PM

What wheel nuts did you use on those?

dibbleyuk 13 February 2013 10:15 AM

I used a set of tuner nuts from SRB Power Neo Chrome.
