Default Which wheels on my 3dr **with pics**

Just had these painted & fitted with Yokohama Parada 2's but i think they look pants on the car



Reckon the tsw evo's look much better

What do you think ?

evo's look better but it was a poor choice of colour on the hocks i think that have made them look worse.

silver would have been better

Get the Hocks painted silver again! I've always loved Hocks on 3 doors and the pic below was of one of mine on them
Don't like the EVO's at all they are more suited to Saffs

I think i'll leave the hocks on for now as the Yoko Parada spec2's feel really grippy, just can't be arsed to keep taking the wheels on & off

From my point of view i like the silver wheels . Evos dont look quite special enough to show off the car.

Obviously a lover of Hockenheims myself, but they're made of Pig Metal in South Africa, and non of mine are perfect anymore, run out, flat spots, and I've treated them like gold dust as I know I can never get anymore.

If only they'd made them out of better material and stronger. Just about to start looking for replacements that look like they were meant to have been there from the begining. Trying it hard though, so any ideas. Don't want a modern look, want something that suits the cars era.....

Oh by the way these wheels are not hocks they are Wolfrace silverstone's they look exactly the same , bought a set brand new back in 1996 for my 2wd saff, i'd be suprised if anyone actually remembers Wolfrace made these around the same time TSW did the hocks.

OK for you people that keep saying lower the back end, when i bought the car it was lowered & it handled crap, put it back to standard ride height with 30% uprated springs & it handles much better & never grounds out either.

Who said put standard wheels back on.

Simon.
