The steels. Sort of.
#1
Well, decided not to let my lack of a wheel stop me, and tested some colours and fitment.

Got some REAL first world problems now. The size of the tyres means the ride height has gone up, not great. Also means my arch clearance has gone down, which means more choppy choppy. I'm wondering if there's a way I could extend the rear bump stops to stop the tyres hitting the arches? Is there?

Anyway.. 10J rear, 9J front, colour will be Rover Charcoal Grey Metallic. Haven't painted the front yet as i'm doing it when the other arrives, but for now here's the rears fitted and the track, erm, maybe widened a wee bit lmao

Sorry about the shit pictures, won't be digging the camera out until they're all here and on...

Firstly, yes that's a full sized Clubcard, not the mini keyring one. Dish much?

Reliant Robin with poke, anyone?

Desperately need to buy some black paint for that exhaust

White vaughn? Really?

Nah I like the grey, will hopefully look badass once they're all painted and on. Yet again a courier company that's let me down though, typical.

Surely they had to be matt black on this, though?! Looks sick anyway!

Black hides the dish tbh, now it looks like someone nicked 3 of your old wheels and a mate with a transit has lent you some spares!

Good job they aren't black then. The metallic graphite gives them a LOT of depth in natural light, much more than the white.

So what if it looks like Transit wheels anyway?

you know what, stick some chunkier tyres on, and raise it up, could look pretty awesome!

Steels suit this car a so much more, Always said this car could work with a feux 4X4 vibe to it.
