Thoughts on new rims

i'd get the Enkei! :)

when you getting them Ig? In time for the cruise ;)?

Type R, i'll take some pics next time i giver her a wash, it's raining every second day at the moment. I think they suit the car pretty well, but it's true that they do look slightly smaller than 17's, but i don't really mind. As for weight, 8.3 kilos each is pretty decent i thought . I asked beau repairs about speedy lite-6's as well which weigh 6.5kg (which is pretty crazy) each but they didn't come in a 5 stud pattern which sucks (they made 17" look even smaller tho). Tyres also made a big difference i found, i got goodyear eagle F1 GSD3's (45 offset /225 width), big advantage over stock in terms of grip.

And that is without the tyres! :rolleyes:
I know Volk is very expensive, I will only get them if I got a raise end of this year :D

Where's Stamford by the way?

sure, just put other rims on it, it would allow me to see other rims that I haven't thought of :D

I'm also thinking of getting Buddy Club P1 QF but it's so damn expensive! Buddy Club P1 racing and racing 2 are nice, and not so pricey. But I don't know if they will fit or not.

Just some i was muckin round with:
Volks

and Enkeis

Volks look way better....

Choose ur alloys wisely... 17's make sense but 18's should be alright on a euro....

Don't get 19's. My acceleration in my car is shocking with 19's. It weighs a lot and i can feel it especially when i corner really fast....

If you want performance, go 17's

For looks, 18's....that's my opinion.

That black "kinto" Euro with luckystar kit has buddyclub P1 racing II's. 19" x 8" I think with a +45 offset

There's no way I'm going 19" :D
My gf would be screaming at me if she feels the ride any harder than currently is LOL

The Volks looks delicious! I might just save up really hard to get them. ;)
