Yeh sound, often spend my time sitting in a corner rocking gently backwards and forwards wondering if buying/renovating a house was the right thing to do as I miss having a proper car.

The extra width is tacked on the INSIDE of those wheels not the outside! So what does that have to do with arch mods? The rears do have the 1.5 outers though.

I know they are on the inside as you can only get a fag paper between the rear arms and the inside of the wheel!

My point was most people never bothered to fit wide wheels to a 3dr (well at least 4 years ago) as they reckoned they would catch the arches, where as they just needed a lower offset.

Silver or black centres both look ace. I like the black as it goes with the black side rub strips and general bits of trim.
And you don't want to be the same as the rest . Cos thats just gay .

Default compomotive wheels

Not sure why North Yorkshire RS Spares are so down on Compomotive Wheels as in Pauls last email sent to Compomotive on 24/11/09 regarding wheels he purchased back in 2008 he said ......

''Hi Stephanie
Sorry to say that if im honest i have been very disapointed with the last 2 sets of wheels from you , They have been the wrong size that i ordered ( sadly it was 8 months after purchase that i fitted them so couldnt realy complain ) ''

SO.... COMPOMOTIVE CAN ONLY SUPPLY WHAT A CUSTOMER ORDERS WE CAN OFFER 7.5X17 UPTO 11X17 IN VARIOUS OFFSETS TO SMALL TO LARGE BRAKES. So if you have a specific requirement & you want your car to a specific way we can make wheels to order.

We have many many updates on our new CXN centre to we can accomodate larger brakes.

Be assured we can can supply what you want.

But what you sent wasnt what i orderd was it

I ordered 7.5 fronts and you sent 8" fronts that required arch mods

But as i left them in there boxes until i needed them 8 months later and knowing your very very poor attitude towards people who arnt happy i just sold them on as they were no good for me as i didnt want to cut my arches

I have a " downer " on compomotive for no other reason than the woman who answers the phone who has a very very poor attitude and is very rude when you try and tell her that what they have sent isnt what you ordered

You would think by now that compomotive know what fits and what doesnt fit , seem they dont

Even more so when you wait months and months for the product that when arrives isnt what you ordered

There is no better wheel than compomotive wheels IMO , they are superb wheels ( when they turn up and are correct ) and i like most can also understand when somthing isnt quite correct , but when you get serious attitude from somone from a " world class company " that realy takes the ,,,,

Image Wheels for the win: excellent customer service both pre and post fitment (including help with offsets and brake clearance advice), and cracking products that can be built to your exact requirements.
