UKG Grant 1 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 yehh there nice, just not very wide, look good polished tho, seen them on polo's alot Link to post Share on other sites
UKG Grant 1 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 and yes they will fit strait on Link to post Share on other sites
jimballs 0 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I keep seeing these crop up for sale - they look very nice imo, especially polished (or black with polished lip), but would the drop from 6.5j to 6j have an effect on handling or ride? And would 288mm discs fit under them? I think I've answered a question with more questions there.. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Nat 9 Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 yeah, its only a winter thing though, i was gonna put my standard bbs on but i just want somethin a bit different... and thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Nat 9 Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 my current wheels are 7.5 wide... 17's Dunno if it will mess things up or if id have to lift the suspension or anythin, just woke up this morning thinkin WHEELS, WHEELS, I NEED SOME NEW WHEELS!!!!!I work best on impulse so thought id get looking!! haha Link to post Share on other sites
ez_101 1 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 you should be fine with 6j, my winter wheels are bora steels and they are 6j, never had a problem with handling! I do like these though, but wouldnt advise having them polished for the winter! lol Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Nat 9 Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 na, if i did i would get as paranoid over them as i am my current ones, the idea is to not be worried about them too much... ive got to resist temptation to make them look good and remember they're my 'scrappy shoes'!!

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I just used some shitty BBS ones for my winter wheels, didnt give a stuff about spacers, not looking right.... its winter Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Nat 9 Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 what size tyres do i need to get for them? Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Gloss black, banded steels! Just because it's winter is no excuse to run gash wheels peeps hahadon't do what I did and run polished tt comps in winter, it nearly sent me over the edge Link to post Share on other sites
ez_101 1 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 yea, i was thinking of getting mine banded now for the winter! Cant beat steals for the winter if you ask me!im running polished TT comps now n its proving a nightmare to keep on top of them! lol Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Nat 9 Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Well i still have standards, i want nice wheels, but just not mint, polished wheels! lol.Im open to any ideas really, these were the ones that just popped up first, but send me some links if u see anything else that might work! :) Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 If you have polished wheels, degreaser them really well with isopropyl alcohol and put on several layers of collinite 476s wax, it'd mega hardwaring and detergent proof, go it on my splits and they just wipe clean during the normal wash Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I use chemical guys wheel guard and this does the same. Brake dust rinses off with the hose. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Nat 9 Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 yeah i do normally polish and wax my wheels everytime i clean the car so they come up nice, but even still they will be coming off for winter... so i need to find some nice simple cheap wheels, if not the ones ive shown then maybe something similar.... :) Link to post Share on other sites
J5KE F 0 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 theyre nice nat, I've always liked steelies.. i would work out the cost of those, tyres, fitting and balancing, then see if u can get any second hand ones with tyres and some tread.. may work out cheaper Link to post Share on other sites
