damn you've been through some cars then - wish my old man was that nice to me at 18

I'd get the staggered fitment and get the arches rolled while you're at it.

anyone got these Calibere wheels fitted to a saff?

You need front arch mods to fit these,kit will need trimming, I also have 3mm spacers to clear the caliper. Don't know what calipers they are,don't look standard.

i would have hocks..... but would need to be 8j and a good offset....

well my car is in the bodyshop at the moment so if i do get them i might have the archs modded whilst there....

but im thinking about just getting a spec r cooler this month and holding on the wheels till next to give me time to think what i want.....

I have hocks as you can see above you have to be carefull as there not that strong and i have had two sets of wolfrace silverstones which are the same but much stronger although the hex nut is attached to the centre cap but look the same much better and stonger wheel. But rl7s are the dogs danglies and look uber cool on 3 doors and saphs. I kept mine off my 3 door and now are fitted to my saff in the sig and fill the arches really well and did on the three door.
Dont rush into the wheels mate as th2s look so cool on three doors and not many people have them!!!!!
I need a cooler as mines still on the standard one and your money will best spent on this wheels can wait power more important

Just to make you all sick i pay £154 a year for the saff limited to 3000 miles including track day cover with stage 3 coilovers wheels ice fully comp agreed valuation of 7k

You have to be VERY careful with Hocks, they're a very weak rim..

ok, yes flat face mo's are the exception then as they're not as common as CXN's

I do like CXNs but just cannot justify the price tag they command (Calibre here i come ) pretty soon everyone will be having these calibre wheels.

I really hope the Hocks i have on the 3dr will be round.

i will - all ive done is put them on the 3dr and pushed that in and out of the garage a few times.

Will get them refurbed if they're fucked or put the money towards the calibre rims and sell these on

I was looking at these Calibre wheels years ago

Tommy, I bet u like comp mo's that everyone else is on about

World will be a mundane place if we all liked the same things

I think the hocks are the best thing about the car mind you a bucket and sponge would do it the world of good

on the cossies i like the standard wheels or the mondeo mk2 zetec alloys or escort cossie wheels, might be a bit boring, but that's what i prefer, now and again i see some after market wheels that look fantastic, but not very often
