I sold the ultralites in my sig pic back in December to Gaz a mate of mine, as I just didn't like the way they looked on the 6. Loads of folks had said they looked great, but I just couldn't see it. What I really wanted was a set of Rotas, either GTR Drift of Grid Drift. I'd ruled out 18x.9.5, as while they look amazing, everyone has said they are a pig to live with... So, 17x9 it was. Becuase I'm scottish, I didn't want to pay 700 quid for a set. So, I kept my eye on Ebay and eventually a 'mixed' set of new wheels from Rarerims appeared! 1 bronze, 1 gunmetal and 2 black with a red lip. I bid a wee tiny bit too much and won them for £370 quid. I was aiming for 300, as i knew they'd need a refurb which is about £200. But I was all excited and stuff, plus they were the right offset (ET25)....

Anyways, I got them refurbed at wheelproscotland in Glasgow (www.wheelproscotland.co.uk) and after a few hours looking at just about every colour chart on the planet, I finally settled on.........
























Bronze I know everyone had their doubts, but I am chuffed as it's just what I was wanting! I know they're not to everyone's taste, but if you don't like them that's cool. Just don't look at them.

















Next week I'll be finally fitting my new brakes, and dropping the suspension around 5mm rear and 15mm front. Then getting the Geo done.



I can't reccomend wheelproscotland enough, abosilutely first class! They can do pretty much anything your brain can come up with!

Hope you like.

Steve

 

Smart as fooook

 

Them wheels look spot on mate very nice

 

Looks good!

 

Cheers fellas! I'm dead chuffed with how they turned out!

 

Im liking that mate

 

I used to have the same wheels in bronze on my old blue 200sx, sounds aweful when you say your wheels are bronze but in the flesh they look good.

Gets my approval

 

Looks great, those size wheels make it look like its built to be driven not just look good.

Hows your front bumper going to cope with the 15mm drop at the end of that ramp for your garage?

 

Badly.... However, I have a shedload of concrete to modify the ramp to suit.

The ramp was done by the old fella that I bought the house from, and I already catch the exhaust going into the garage. So, I'll extend it by 6 feet for a more gradual slope

 

Fooking Evo's are for Chavs

 

Very nice...liking that a lot.

 

Thats spot on, think the wheels set the car off perfectly.

 

Turncoat

Cheers folks!

 

Nice Evo looks better than the newer shape, the rims do look better than the first ones you had.

 

Looks good.

 

did you need to do any arch mods for those to fit?

 

Nice mate

 

No mate. No mods or spacers. I used 225/45R17 tyres, which helped. Some people go 235/45 and need arch mods.

 

Love it mate

 

Cheers Carlo! What ever happened to the Rheims blue one you had?

 

OMG that's looks f**king mental!!!!!!!

 

That looks pukka mate!
