What do you reckon?

[bmxdave]

Im still unsure as to which wheels to put on my car. Ill probably go cosmics or dunlops. Ive been toying with a few ideas though. What do you reckon to these wheels on this car?

 

 

 

 

And does anyone fancy photoshopping them on for us? Im just a bit curious as to what theyd look like.

[285Andy]

sorry to say but those two sets there, i cant see either looking that good on your car? the rims are too flat faced. your car would look far better off going with a wheel with a depth to the rim. just my opinion though! but its your car all said and done id deffo be interested to see what aphotoshop job would look like though

 

what are the cosmic and dunlops like??

[Guest MK1gaz]

Nooooooooooooooooo , don't do it

[martymk1]

as he said it don't do it, go for lotus's steels

[Chris!]

would looks sick on banded steels

[bmxdave]

I cant really afford Lotus Steels, and theyre hard to come by.

 

These wheels are fwd offset so that i can go 6" without rubbing on arches so thats why they look flat faced. As i said, im not planning to do it but i am curious.

[Mr Sam]

keep the steels you got

get a set of standard wheels banded, you can get a set for a tenner

[bmxdave]

I could only band them a half inch with a standard offset. And gaining a half inch isnt really worth it. I dont want to be doing any bodywork so i have to go inwards instead. I could probably band inwards an inch.

[Guest MK1gaz]

your steel wheels look nicer than those new ones anyway

[Stu_B]

No No No NO NO! Keep it oldskool

However cool they look, theyre still too wide. I cant fit 6" with a rwd offset. Ive tried my minilites and it just wont have it. Thats why i need fwd offset or a set of 5.5" wheels like D1's.

roll your lips

[bmxdave]

Its not the lip. Its right up in the wheel arch. Only way to stop it is by cutting the arch out like the fronts or flaring them. Which i dont want to do.

Prefer your current wheels.

[Nettles]

How about some old skool Wolfrace or Cobra slot mags?

They are available in 13”x5.5” and they would deffo give your OSF that classic performance look.

You can usually pick them up cheap from ebay.

Polished or painted they do look the nuts on 100E’s.

[MK2Ed]

[MattD_Capri]
