Default best rims for saff

alright tray, loads of rims do look fat, i had kahns on my saff when i first bought it,had to loose them when i up graded the brakes,if you one day decide to get bigger anchors compomotive rims are the best for clearence on 4 or 6 pot callipers

regards

Cheers charlie, to be honest the car looks better in my sig than in real life.

Needs a bit of TLC... which it'll get this year. Had the car over 10 yrs now and still love it. Got rondells last year off Spadge on this forum.

You're right though, Doo's rouse sport looks sweet on those mo's.

Here's some more of mine (crap pics though)...
