with the silver rim i think it'll go IMO
Bunnin has a similar set on his black FR and they look very good just look at his avatar. if they were completely black it might be too much, but the lip breaks things up nicely :yes:

Both are better than what's on there now!

I'd be tempted to go for something anthracite/silver on a black car though. I know the lip breaks the black up but can't help feeling there's still a little too much (IMO)

The only prob with those BBS style alloys is that they are up Manchester and im in london lol

Grrrrr just got outbid on a set of perfect Audi S3 wheels...like Ad Lav had as winter wheels :( they would have looked amazing in anthracite

...the search goes on lol

Hi MichalR

What make are the rims you have at the moment and also on a side not, what suspension kit have you used to drop your ibiza. Looks good![B)]

Look quite nice, has a slight Retro look to them, with the Black/shiny Rim :)
Would have thought the Black Alloys on your Red Bizza would look quite mean and sporty. Would certainly be different.

Cheers matey, the rims atm are 17" Wolfrace Ikon Pluss'.

Regarding the suspension...im not sure lol...i only got the car on Sunday and it was already lowered although im jacking the car up 2moz to change the brake pads so ill have a lil look and let you know what springs they are...if i can tell :lol:

Cheeky! :D ....ok, well, I think might look a little too much then, with those Black wheels on the Black car... but your car at the end of the day mate, comes down to how you feel about it? ;)

BTW, from what I've found out about Spings... they don't lower the car a considerable amount from how the Suspension is as standard!...

Soooo, I would say you might have a complete Coilover Kit on your Black Ibiza, as it's looking considerably low, and the same over both wheels (with lowering Spring, also the rear doesn't go as low as the front - sticks up a bit higher).

....but will be interesting to hear your verdict, once you've jacked the car up to get a closer look.

Hope that helps! :)

Yeah i think it might look too black at the end of the day...i think it was an impulse thought lol

A few people have told me they think the car has a complete coilover kit, but when i got on the floor to have a quick look it just looks like it has standard shocks and lowering springs which are red :confused:

Ill take some photos tomorrow as i could be wrong lol

When i had an Arosa sport that had lowering springs, the ride was all bumpy and uncomfortable although the ibiza just feels stiffer which could mean its got coilovers :shrug:

All will be revealed tomorrow...lol
