Wadda you reckon?

Just didn't like the Plus alloys - They're on the Steely now



and the transplant car - my other one FOR SALE by-the-way

You are, offishally, bonkers!

Urm. Not sure. For some reason I prefer silver wheels with the ink/black colours.

Why thank you

put them back Phil!

(the 20vt looks better with the plus wheels but your plus suffers for it i'm afraid)

Oh no it doesn't

Thanks anyway Sam

patch, I have done exactly the same. My silver 20vt wheels in my sig were on the limit tyre wise so I have temporarily fitted the graphite ones off my silver 20vt which are the same colour as yours.

looks really mean and much much better in real life. Although am still undecided as I do think the silver wheels contrast the dark blue and look good with the fuel cap. Must admit i'm soon to be putting on some 17's in silver. This is the look im going for, but do also think that the wheels in graphite grey suit.

You do know how much Plus alloys cost on the secondhand market, when you can find them?

Indeed, there like hens teeth hidden in a haystack

second hand I would be asking £400+ for a set, probably much more

Oh, and there was only one real stealth coupe on here



I miss you "dark destroyer"

£400 - £600

must admit, I prefer the stock alloys to the Plus ones

However think that you should keep them safe to one side as you will probably regret getting rid.

I have to agree with Sam. While the LE alloys look ok on the Inky,I think the silver Plus alloys were a better match for the darker colour IMHO.

But as they say,it your car at the end of the day .

I feel this change would have a serious effect when it comes to selling the car in the future Phil, you might not like them but I'd source another set of standard rims and store the Plus wheels so that it doesn't become a haggling point.

Oh, and I love Plus rims

When it wasn't on fire

Another vote Sam's right. 100%, without doubt or discussion, right!

Think I'm going to be nailed to the wall by my testicles for saying this but I actually prefer your silver coop to the plus Patch!

The plus wheels seem to work better on the plus and the darker 20VT wheels on the silver one is spot on.

Thats the thing I guess with tweaking/modifying... each to their own.

I share Joe's sentiment that you might want to hang onto the Plus wheels. They don't come cheap.

IMHO that kind of destroys the plus model.

now it just looks like a 20vt with some side skirts added. Why pay the extra to get a plus model to change it???

Well you've immediately made mine more valuable by devaluing yours, so stick with it

They both look wrong to me, the plus looks like a fake LE and the Zender kit doesn't go well with the plus alloys. IMHO of course

Plus alloys look much better than LE alloys.

Get the plus alloys colour coded anthracite. Have a look at pics of roly's (ex) plus. They look good on a dark car.

Also plus tyres should be 225/45/16 not 205/50/16 !

Okay, okay, okay, I'll keep the graphite alloys on the plus and the plus alloys on the 20VT.

No, only joking.

The Plus stay's stealth .... it looks really, really good, and it wouldn't be a patch car if it looked as they 'should' do.... You know half the world is going hybrid anyway

I'll go with Joe, store the Plus rims and source a set of 20VT rims for the steely.

Unless someone wants to pay me £500.00 to take them off my hands As new tyres on them too

Stealth is the way ahead for style in 2010 - and I'm in the driving seat

* 2.....

I think that...

On the Inky, the lines of the LE skirts and lips are sharp and because of this they go better with the sharp jagged design of the Plus alloys.

On the Steely, the PIU bumper and Zender skirts are more rounded and smooth - because of this they suit the smooth dark alloys.

I think if you darkened the Plus alloys then you would achieve the overall Batman look on the Inky, while still showing that its a Plus model - but thats if you're not bothered about keeping the Plus wheels standard. Are you?

Its your car Phil and I have the up most respect for your sense of style, well and you. But.....You aspired for a plus because of its status, seats and wheels, and well the 6 speed box.
Taking something off it makes it some what less of a car, and not a plus any more

its just looks like a ink black 20vt, thats got dark wheels on, this post was always going to get a lot of attention, and rightly so but its your car and im the last one who should be calling sacrilege with my noddy car.

Do what ever you think is right....but dont ask me to give an opinion

Good for you. Its your car. Definately a good idea to keep the rims safe though, incase you sell or change your mind.

Ah! But this one has just become the 'Plus Stealth' model ...

Sam, your opinion always matters to me mate But, I never mentioned that I wanted a Plus for the wheels though;)

But what if the right thing is to ask you for an opinion?

I would take the side skirts and front lips of as well for the ultimate stealth plus!! Ok maybe not. Keep the plus wheels for shows/selling to keep people happy.

I fixed that for ya Stevo

Now, a Plus with PIU/zends ..... mmm, I'm seeing Joe on Saturday too
