Right i bought these off markyg on here a wile back and got my mate to powder coat them in gloss black, i atchualy put them up for sale a week a so ago. I picked them up from my mate this morning and thought fuck it gonna stick some tyres on the, got some yoka pradas 215 / 40 / 17

they prob arnt to many peoples choice but im trying to be a bit different and not go straight for the comp thing

so what you think people, im expecting some negative feedback

 

Evo r's ? maybe in graphite think black looks a little to dark ,looks good still

 

sorry mate not for me them , std,s looked much better

 

looks good to me m8, i like

Steve

 

yeah eve r's

not sure if i even like them myself yet, i know what you mean about too much black

 

too dark imo; i love white wheels on your colour car; but if that's not your cup of tea i would have gone grey rather than black

 

i think they might look better if you had a nice set of AP 6 or 4 pot calipers and big discs to fill the gap; too much space behind the wheel if you know what i mean

sorry, dont mean to be negative because you car is so clean - you did ask for opinions!

Matt

 

like them and as Matt said will look better wiith a set of focus rs calipers behind them

 

i didnt wanna go for grey as i thought it would be too much

ive got some 330 discs and brembos to go on, and yeah theres loads of space behind the wheels

needs to drop at the back only got springs on the front

matt baxter wheres my brackets

 

i think they look ok mate

 

shoud be sorted this week with any luck mate

 

 

I think they look good


Brian

 

i like them but i think the standards are better looking

 

looks good mate except for centre caps being chrome imo

 

I think it looks hard m8

But yeh get thoses center caps done and never get ride of the ambers

 

like that look

 

Too narrow

 

I hate black wheels, tyres should look darker than wheels. A nice bright silver would look well on your car mate

 

i agree keep the ambers i preferred it with standard diamond cut wheels mate. everyone does the comp thing because it looks so gd!

 

Mine on evo'r s....been thinking about painting them white to see what they look like just for a change.....






Think yours would look a lot better a lighter colour.....

 

I reckon you should whack a nice set of 3 spokes on there mate! That would be spot on then!

Seriously tho I think they would look better dark grey tbh.

Just get those brakes on! You bloody need them if the other day is anything to go by!

 

lawnsy i originaly wanted them silver after seeing yours but silver in powder coat is expensive so me being tight went for the cheap option, i can see me taking them off and gwtting them wet sprayed silver

thanks for all the comments

 

I think it looks okay, but maybe a change of colour should do the trick.

 

here is my sapp on grey evo's.use to be black but looked to dark.



& when they was black

this is my old saph on black evo's


i think yours looks hard as nails mate

 

thanks for the comments people

went up the garage earlier for a goose, i took the centre caps off and ditched the chrome nuts and to be honest they've realy grown on me look so much better

i need some small centre caps to cover the hub nut, any idea where i can get some from ? ? ?

 

lawnsy dont paint yours white it looks class the way it is

 

when i had mine i used the original caps from my ford wheels cut all the tabs off and made a metal disc with tabs and stuck the oe cap to that

hope that makes some sence


also i should have the brackets tomorrow and will get them off for plating asap

 

I think it looks good mate very nice saph.

 

Your wheels are the nuts, what are they?

old style comps?

 

nice looking wheels, silver would go down a treat on that

 

yeah theyre old style comps.

i think the std wheels look better on the merc grey car

 

paul rs 7 spokes but the softspoke ones!!!

 

Sorry but you really are ruinnig that car imo, that car looked Mint with the standard look!


Shame

 

Just fancy a change mate......was thinking white with some blue stickers of some sort.......If i dont like them ill just paint them dilver again....lol

Dont really want to change the wheels as i like the look of them on the car.....

 

easy mate

need bigger breaks ! id rather different wheels to aid breaking than righting it off

 

Each to there own....I like evo'r s on saffs as i think they go with the era of the car rather than sticking brand new wheels on that don't suit the car.....

Don't mean all new wheels don't suit old cossies with that comment mind.....lol

 

Lawns, we will re do them a nice coarse silver. Will take fuck all to do mate.

 

Speak to Luca, he runs 15's iirc on his fez & he a big power ZT Fiesta with upgraded brakes!


i just think it looks like every other saph now, shame as i loved your car how it was!

 

The thing with the saph is that it is quite a bit heavier than the fiesta you are mentioning which, correct me if I'm wrong, is built for the track and therefore stripped out for weight loss so the brakes on this car would be perfectly ok. Might not work so well on the much heavier saph.

The heavier the car, the harder the brakes have to work.

Paul's car is already fitted with uprated pads and discs with braided lines and good fluid etc, and if I'm honest the brakes are quite bad after the car has been driven hard for a short while to the point where they become practically useless.

If there was a braking setup that would fit under the standard 15's and still perform as well as AP's, Brembo's etc, I think there would be a few more standard looking saphs running big power out there, mine included as I would much prefer my standard wheels to my comps, but I would prefer my car to remain in the same shape it is now rather than for it end up where too many cossies have. The scrappie.
