What wheels?
 

Still looking at options for my wheels and have narrowed it to three. Some opinions would be good.

1. Safe and cheap option. Refurb mine.

2. New inovit torque's in gunmetal (18's)

3. The brave option, but I do like it!

Which will look a bit like this:

Has to be option 3 for me :nod:

Was even looking at them myself today....how spooky :ninja:

Re: What wheels?
 

I know what you mean. I'm really liking them at the moment, but I am worried that the novilty will wear off and I will then wish i went for something more 'normal'.

Re: What wheels?
 

Got to go 18's...17's look to small IMHO :nod:

Re: What wheels?
 

On first glance I hated number 3!

But no knee jerk (don't mention spanners! :roll: ) reactions from me, I kept scrolling up and down and it started growing on me quite quickly.

Only question I have is, I take it if you go with the red piping you will be going black and not gunmetal?

Re: What wheels?
 

on any car other than black, i'd say number 3 would look rubbish. but i think it could look great on yours :nod:

a set of those inovit torques would look nice on my bug :mrgreen:

Re: What wheels?
 

I like no 3 and keep the standard ones for the days of normality

Re: What wheels?
 

Yep, have to agree no3 looks good and suits your car perfectly

Re: What wheels?
 

Yes mate, definately black if red piping.

These really are starting to grow on me now.

Re: What wheels?
 

The more you see them on the car above, the better they look.

Maybe we could get some for Nick (Nick STi) with Cerese piping?

Re: What wheels?
 

Ive just been told its gonna take 3 weeks for my wheels to be made. :cry: :cry: :cry:

Re: What wheels?
 

I'm sure it will be worth the wait Rich.....but a bloody long 3 weeks :doh:

Re: What wheels?
 

Dame right!! :cry: there not even anything special, Im after the team dynamics pro race 1.2's. the only decent wheel i can find with multi spoke for a wagon in black with out the red rim edge or chrome lip! Theres alot of nice wheels out there but when you jump up to 18's the price of em goes through the roof!

Re: What wheels?
 

As Rich says though mate, well worth it! It'll fly by! :nod:

Re: What wheels?
 

Have you got the Squadron Leader's approval to change those wheels? :angst:

Re: What wheels?
 

No i must amit keith i haven't and i may not due to the place i WAS going to get them from not getting back to me today to take a deposit and getting the process of them being made under way!!! Dosent anyone want my hard erned cash!!

Im finding it really hard to find somewhere where i can get good customer service and a place thats interested in what the customer wants and not just flogging them any old set of alloys which THEY think look good. :wa: 's

The place i was going to get them from was Elite at rainham in essex. 3 times i had to call them back to question whats happening and if they had managed to speak to team dynamics :sos:

Re: What wheels?
 

Ha and i thought is was just me that had problems with everyone :whistle:

People just have NO customer service skills anymore.....i have to chase chase chase all the time.....what's wrong with my money?

No wonder so many companies are going under :nod:

Re: What wheels?
 

Hear Hear old chap!
All i want is a place where i can drive in, have a chat, get some techy help, and fit a nice new set of wheels!

IM NOT ASKING FOR THE SODDING MOON ON A STICK!!!!!!

What worries me with wheels is the offset story. i know what offset is but not for my car, then theres the prob of fitting 18's. i dont just want to order 900 quids worth of wheels to think "mmmmm not sure, needs lowering now" plus its not an sti its a wagon so i dont have the flared arches and will 225/40/18's stick out or rub on the sus strut's?! :angst: :confused:

Re: What wheels?
 

major scooby look here http://www.scoobyparts.com/acatalog/cop ... EELS_.html and click the price and it'll show with tyres you want 225's :doubleup:
or here http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/in ... c7d243a46e

Re: What wheels?
 

WAHOO a wheel company actually got back to me today about some alloys im after and there finally ordered!!!! gotta wait 2-3 weeks but the ball is now rolling :yeah: :chug: :yeah: :chug:

Re: What wheels?
 

Excelent news, looking forward to seeing them.

Re: What wheels?
 

There pro race 1.2's by team dynamics, 18" in gloss black. i do like a black set of alloys, plus they had to be black to go with the black graphics on the car. you cant beat a bit of colour co-ordination! :doubleup:

Re: What wheels?
 

Blinding news matey. Bet you can't wait. 8-)

Re: What wheels?
 

counting the days worzel counting the days!! :drive:

Problem i may have now though is that due to the new wheels being 18's i may need to lower the car just a tad?
mmmm i can feel a set of tein lowering springs coming on, the modding bug has taken hold!!!!!!!!! :twisted:

Re: What wheels?
 

very nice! are they 18's. There are so many wheels out there its so hard to choose.
For me it was hard because i needed black but then i only had a budget of £700, although these cost me £800 with tyres i had to go over a little :whistle:

the only thing with team dynamics is there wheels are heat treated so have a tendency to crack rather then dent if you find a pot hole! :doubledown:

Re: What wheels?
 

yep 18's
protecs with prada spec 2's cost me £750 with the the tyres ,locking whell nuts to me door :yeah:

Re: What wheels?
 

Very nice Rich, will look smart :doubleup:

Just don't let the missus kurb them (hope she dosen't read this) :getmecoat:

Re: What wheels?
 

gonna keep a little pot of black paint in the car just in case :sadnod:

shes cacking herself now she knows there coming. ive told her stay away from kerbs and petrol pump surrounds!!!

Re: What wheels?
 

:rofl: :rofl:

Re: What wheels?
 

yeah not funny! imagen this, scooby climbs up petrol pump surround that equals dent in rim then scooby drops off petrol pump surround which equals nice scrape on underside of freshly painted bumper! :doubledown: :fight: :fight:

Re: What wheels?
 

But she didn't see it......HONEST :whistle:

Re: What wheels?
 

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: "mmmmm how did that get there". shes pretty good so ill let her of for that one!
But there was this one incodent with a car park barrier in our fiesta previous. basically she didnt stop at the barrier after the car in front went through! :angst: we had 4 nice dents where the barrier bounced

Re: What wheels?
