WOW that is looking good , but is the intercooler a bit low ?

I am goin to put a bodykit on it, so the intercooler actually fits inside the open part of the front bar... When the car is sitting on the bump stops the bar is about 1cm off the ground, obviosly im never going to drive with it that low, but it does look good

Do you have a better pic of your rims? Can you tell me the width of the rims and tires

I think I like them!

The rims are Performance Superlites 13 x 7's and i am running 175/50/13 yokohama tyres, the rim is actually a little wider than the tyre so once i fry the first set ill get some wider rubbers

What's hot about looking like you can't afford correct width rubber to go with the expensive alloys you have bought ??


215s go nicely on 8x13" :wink:

I was thinkin of either goin 215's or even 225's, after i fry the 175's first... Getting rubbers for 13's is getting harder here in aus though

Done, sorry Dan over the slowness of the change. Hopefully you should be able to see all parts of the forum and upload pictures to the gallery if you wish to 8)

Might look cool having too small a tyre stretched on your wide wheels, shame itll probably handle like shit tho :lol:

actaully can improve handling. (depending on your perception of good handling)

i wont argue or anything about this now, but i remember a very lengthy discussion about it on a vw forum a while back, how it eliminates side wall movement etc, and apparently touring cars have very low profile tyres which are stretched on. thats all i remember. but each to their own.

What tyres are you using as i was looking for tyres in this size and could only find crap ones that are renowned for having no grip.

could only find pineapple ones that are renowned for having no grip.

Ok when i said handling i meant on normal roads not on a nice smooth track.

As you say each to there own :wink:

I prefer the look of the tyre hanging out further than the rim :D
