New Rims...Opinions?

16's will be perfect though, better speed pick up, better handling, lower ride hight.

Sorry to hijack the post, but can anyone find those Rial Nogaros in 4x100 from somewhere in the uk?

Done some googling and could only find 5 studs?

try the adr-42 m sport, they look like the rial nogaros, sol-ace.co.uk sell them but not sure if the correct fitment but i know a company in the states makes them in 4x100 so they should be able to get them.

[pdcupra]

yeh black team dynamics pro race 1.2 for the win!

Whats people's thoughts on sizes as i'm looking for some wheels an looking at 18's but dont know as of yet may go for 17's but 18's would look good.

My mate has 20's on his leon an that still handles well.

 

[beattie17]

18's will fit fine if you've got coilovers. I can run 18's with full car load and still drop it 60mm

 

[nogutsnoglory]

whats the ride like on 18's? got any pics

 

[Craig1985]

Yeah mate will have coilovers too tried some on an they were close at the back to skirt an mud flap!!

You got any pics with it lowered 60mm?

cheers

 

[beattie17]

only picture i got

 

[Craig1985]

Thats made my mind up looks the dogs bollocks mate.

Thats lowered 60mm an didnt catch? Could you get people in

 

[beattie17]

Yeah dropped 60mm,no rear spacers. And removed rear inner arch liners and mudflaps.

 

[Craig1985]

Did it catch on mud flaps then?

Also What offset were they an what wheels?

An what was it like at front?

 

[beattie17]

Mudflaps scraped everywhere on 17's so i ditched them before i got 18's eh.
They were et42 but i put 5mm spacer on front to bring down to et37 to clear coilovers

im not to keen on the wheels at all to be honest.need to go for some really deep pan wheels.look for a make that you dont see very often aswell make it more unique!

 

[Cupra_joeboy]

dont go 18s mate, far to big imo for all round good looks, and hadling, depends on what you want though tbh, if you want a good looking car that handles brilliantly then wide 16/17s if you want show, tram lining ride then 18s its got to be.

 

[Cupra_joeboy]

Porsche D90s are a good bet, classic, OEM styling.

 

[Craig1985]

With the power i'm wanting 17's will light up too much!!

english mate! do you mean they will spin to much under take off? if your running enough power to spin wheels, it will happen to any wheel you run really.

tough choice when i comes to wheels as it can make or break the looks and performance of your car.

 

[Craig1985]

Yeah mate like you say an i'm with you about deciding on wheels its hard going

 

[beattie17]

to be truthfull you dont want wide 16's or 18's for handling, cause you need to run a stretch tyre to fit 9's under rear arch. ive gone for 7.5x17's for handling.
