Hi,

I finally got some wheels!! If anyone replied to my last MOMO post then thanks. I went for the WRS's in the end. Only in a 17" but looking to lower the coupe asap!!

Just thought id show you guys a a couple of pics i took on my phone yesterday. Ignore the fccuker of a mate who said it was too cold to get out the car and stand on the seafront while i take a pic!

This is my first pic post of my coupe too!! How scary....
Pic 1

Pic 2

Hope the pics work! Needs a good polish!

What do you think?

It looks great......Just like mine, only on stilts!!!!

The wheels look tops too mate.....

How much did you pay for the wheels in the end???

what phone is it? Excellent pics for a phone.

Wheels arent my tastte, but it will looka whole better if you lower it.

Hi,

I paid £699 for wheels and yokohama tyres. Not to bad i dont think. Yeah need to lower it ut dont know best way around it at the mo. I am thinking Eibach springs with standard shocks, i know its not a great way to do it but havent got the cash for the bilstiens yet!

Cosmograph its a Nokia n70. the camera is superb on it!
Cheers

Tire size?

Jay,

Mines been lowered using the method you state (Eibach Springs, Standard Shocks), and although it's ridiculously low, I really would wait until you have the money to do it 'properly'. Mine came already like it, so not my doing, but the ride is far, far too hard in my opinion. Ground clearance is 'an issue' lets say!

It does look cool though and attracts ALOT of attention.....

Cheers Mark.

Yeah i think th ebest plan would be to wait, but its so hard, when you just really want it lowered!! Its always one thing after another, but thats coupe ownership i suppose!

How much did it lower yours with eibachs, 30mm for front and rear?

Cheers

35mm I think and this is what it looks like.....imagine your new wheels in those arches!!!!

You see what I mean about the ground clearance though??? As you can see, the clearance on one of my bikes is better!!!

Looks good!! The standard 16vt wheels look quite good on that. Mine were so kerbed from the previous owner i just had to get rid of them!!

Yeah they would look lovely in those arches!


I need to lower! Seeing that had made me want it even more! Might just risk the hard ride for a bit until i can afford the Bilsteins! Style is so ever important. Who cares if my bones are crunching as i drive past!

Did you know there is a little man standing on your front bumper?

Rim size? 7.5x17" or 7x17"

7x17.

Its a little go faster man, im not that in to the stripes

Very nice wheels. Good choice. Had never thought of them on a coupe
