Finally got my wheels!!

[Retro_Boy_G]

Thanks dude! Fingers crossed i\'ll have something sorted next week and get the tyres on.. i\'ll take pics as soon as they are on!

Can anyone recommened any centre caps?

I found that with the online tyre places, the prices seemed good, but when you factored in delivery, getting someone to fit and balance them, new valves, etc, the price was about the same as just getting my local place to order and fit them all in one go. Plus that meant I was supporting a small local firm, which counts for something when you need a bit of help. For example, when I found a screw in my tyre at the last minute the evening before setting off to Rotorstock, they helped out big-time, even staying open late so they could fix the puncture properly and re-balance the tyre once it was re-fitted. :Thumbs-up

 Just worked out what those wheels you\'ve got there are, they\'re MazdaSpeed MS-01\'s refinished in white aren\'t they? Very nice. Not sure you\'ll have too much luck finding centre caps for em, though

the webiste i mention inc fitting n balance etc. the price online is final price. i sure the garage make some money from it also as they kinda contracted by the distributor.

the place I go to works out cheaper than the all-in online prices and they are a local small business. Only Camskill are cheaper, but you have to add fitting to camskills prices

[grinder]

i dont think you can fit much bigger than the stock rims on the front , the rim will end up hitting the shock spring

you might need to fit some coilovers as these have a smaller dia spring

OR you need to fit spacers

Well.. i just had some guys over to give me a price on some paint work for the car.. It\'s a bit more than i was hoping for but i think it will make a big difference to the car.. but this will now mean i need to put the tyres on hold for maybe another week.. all in good time..

I will get them to fit the wheels for me and hopefully they can tell me if they will fit or not.. failing that i will look in coil overs.. Would new springs do the same job?.. As i know its alot cheaper to get lowering springs than it is a set of coil overs..

Was thinking of sticking these on it..

Nik - You are spot on dude. Totally agree with you also about supporting your local places!

[Retro_Boy_G]

They Fit!!!... Teaser time! haha.. I\'ll take better pics when she is out my garage.. you can also see the trim has been painted white.. (looks a bit off colour in the pics but its just my camera). They look incredibly sexy with these wheels.. just need some springs to bring it down a bit!

[chopper2k22]

Get some more pics! they do look good from that pic tho :cool

What offset is that? It looks spot on. Just need to lower it.

Any more pictures?

[gsb876]

very nice :Thumbsup!

[Retro_Boy_G]

Thanks guys! Chopper will tell you the offset on them.. i don\'t know much about this kinda thing.. haha.. all i know is the back are really really wide.. and it looks bad ass! I promise when the car is more complete i\'ll get some better pics up.. don\'t like to show her off half finished..

Chopper - Thank you again dude.. you are a legend!

[chopper2k22]

No probs, there +35 iirc 9J Rear and 8J front. Should be wide enough i think :Giggle

[dthebuk]

[Retro_Boy_G]
