You can have a go...

 

Is the Sth London look not just a good old classic look anyway?

[Tall paul]

175/50's for me. I tried 185/60's and rubbed like fook

[TILBROOK]

175/50 all the way

[w p e]

175/50 all the way

 

 

just think if you had had 185.60.13s when she hit you she would have hit the bumper instead of the rear panel see so many for's with 185.60.13s. the poll tells the story proper OLD SKOOL RULE

remember i never started this kev did but i think due to embarrassment

he's keeping his distance . and yes glen each to there own but dont call it the sth london look unless 185/60/13s are involved

[zetecmk2]

years ago, we all had 185/60's......and when 205's turned up, we was all after them (wider, therefore, better).

i remember seeing stretched tyres for the first time and thinking they looked shyte....now, i love 'em!

175's on 8"

but on the right car.

in crawley, 15 miles from the heart of the south london look, we was all after bigger wheels or stripped out interiors, cages, trailer arches and motosport liveries...i don't know why, it's just what i grew up with

so, i totally understand where the passion for a certain look comes from.

 

 

 

235/50's and tubbed arches is the crawley look we couldn't afford
