Dashed home at lunch and fitted my new Ultralites - im well pleased. Ive took a couple of pics on my phone so quality isnt great. So, big thanks to erm.... well me for sorting out the fantastic group buy
:2Rolleyes :chat :Snoring and thanks to Paul at SPD/Ultralite for giving us such a great discount.
So what do you think?
They look great mate, don\'t suppose you\'ve got any close up pics of the wheels on the car have you?
I\'ll be getting mine in a couple of weeks but in silver, that lip looks PHAT!
btw - what size tyres did you go for in the end?
wheeels look gooood :D .. sets of the car well
looking good mark, totally changes the whole car:D want mine on soon
Mark,
Cool Rims :cheers
Your car looks really nice, but you gotta change that silly wing, your car is all curves and sexy and then there\'s this bloody great angular wing on the back, I suggest you whip it off and see how much better she\'d look bare arsed ;)
Looking good mate.You\'ll have to change your signature pics now!
Looking a lot better in my oppinion mate. Those would of been the wheels i\'d of gone for if i had the money at the moment.. but maybe with gold centers :Thumbs-up
Adam
Verrrrrrry nice! Black is a good choice for your car!
looks really good :)
Yo Marky boi looking gud buddy :)
Hey Mark,
Wheels look GREAT, love the deep barrel look.
Glad it all worked out.
James
Deffo looks better a good choice of wheels there :Giggle
Looking nice Mark. Totally transforms the look of your fd.
It reminds me a lot about the white Border Racing wide arched FD. :)
Looking good, They look even better in the flesh. Fantastic on a white car too !
Enjoy
Shaun
thanks for the comments guys - im hoping to get some good pics and sort out my sig. :rolleyes:
I do have one issue though - my car is so b!00dy low the tyres catch the arch lips :( Luckily my suspension is rock solid so there is hardly any movement - going to try taking my sub box out of the boot and see how it goes - either way its a visit to the bodyshop by the looks of it - hope they can sort it out
You and your \'bare @rses!!\' You\'re like a automobile sex pest :D :p

mark what size rear tyre did u go for they shouldnt catch if u have 255/35/18.it will cost about 70.00 quid to have the arches rolled
That car is all sex if you see it on the road...the stance is great,the wheels are cool and the wing is just perfect for the car......im just an artist,so who cares about my opinion.......... :Typing
I went for 255\'s. My car is VERY low. Im not exagerating, my tyre is 5mm from the lip on the rear arches!! Luckily my suspension is very stiff, the only time it catches is if I hit a bump at speed or when cornering hard - neither of which I want a blow out whilst doing!! :eek

how much of the tyre is it catching as ultralite were saying a 265 wld be ok and this is def not the case..the other style in 9x18 and 265 with 35 offset doesnt catch but seems a few mm is all it takes..u need to get back on to ultralite about this..i am away till wed
Its fine, I love the look of the wheel and wouldnt swap them for a thinner wheel at all, i\'m really pleased with the way they look so wide at the back. As I said, my car is uncommonly low so they werent to know. It only just catches, you probaly wouldnt have to remove all of the lip for it to clear. And everyone else who had this style is fine - its just mine :rolleyes: Im kind of getting used to nothing ever go straight forward with my car - she is an awkward hard to please b!tch - but I love her (are we still talking about my car here? :p )

Hmm im going there on Thursday so will ask about this aswell...
Looks good mark...
I would recommend 255 to be sensible... we have run 235/ 255 combo and 245/265 as recommended and found the 235/255 to be far better although didnt fill the rim quite as well... i know donato is running 235/255 on his Ultralites...
Cheers

Ive got 225/255 not 235 on the fronts. Apparently that was the way to go to keep the rolling radius\'s closer??

Opinions are like a**holes, everyone\'s got one !! :chat
You are entitled to yours sir !!
Mine ... :D
I think he should either get a super tall huge proper carbon GT wing or preferably bin it all together !!
Barearsed is the way baby !!
Sooo much more classy :chat
Sooo much more smooth :rollin
:InLove :InLove :InLove :2eek
Mark!!! Get rid of it...bare ass all the way...yeh baby yeh!!!
Tall carbon GT wing for me. ;)
now wasnt that easier than a change of colour.
mmm sweet...
:rollin :rollin
I do quite like it bare @rsed - nice one Dave :Thumbsup!
But I do still like it with the spoiler! Damn it - I hate decisions like this. Hoping to get it into a bodyshop soon so this decision would have to be made soon :( Could alwys get the holes filled, go bare arsed than if I change my mind put it back on again?
Dave? Fancy doing a paintshop jobby by removing the spoiler from the picture front on? :rolleyes:
What about aerodynamics though? Dont you need a spoiler at speed? To keep the back end \'planted\' ??

Very nice Mark. Good to see it\'s all coming together for you. The car will still make positive downforce at speed without a spoiler and with less drag your cars top speed should be better.
I\'m running 18x9 on the rear and 18x8 in the front with 265 and 235 rubber and have no rubbing on the rear. I\'m running Tein Flex suspension so fully adjustable. Have you had the car tracked up since you changed the wheels? What size where your old wheels? this would affect the camber and give you better grip once tracked up.
Thanks mate - she is getting there. Once I get the arches rolled she is off to the bodyshop, at some point soon getting the wheels alligned, then the Carbon Fibre bonnet fitted then finished off by having my graphics put on :) Should look the muts danglies by the summer. :wiggle
Just need to decidebwhat to do about the spoiler :2Confused
