lamb chops

I can’t decide what wheels to put on my 3door.. I am going to try my comps but as they are et30 I think I will have clearance problems. If I do I want a set of split rims but would like to see some different styles if poss. Any peeps have any pics of any?

If you mail them to me if you can’t post I will put them up in this thread

As much as i want your comps mate, stick with them.

Split rims look nice on 3drs, but moonstone & white comps look even better

lamb chops

Like that too Rab, not sure i like the all alloy look though.. think the centres could do with being colored..

Jon fronts are 7.5 x 16, all 4 are on 205/45/16 yoks,but to be replaced with 214 and 225 40 16

I really like the dish on Stu's ones, much more dish than the comp CXN's. Apparantly the biggets outer lip comp do are 2" for the rear, and 1.5" for front.

lamb chops

They look nice Rab, they are the real deal though arnt they. no chance of getting a set of those

boXXer

not hi-jacking the post or anything, but whats the biggest outer rim size you can get on a 3dr in 17" without loads of modifying (maybe a tiny bit of arch or something?) as the ones on stu's look massive.

lamb chops

Not sure what you mean there Boxxer but an 8J wheel as the biggest i would say on the rear, ideally a 7- 7.5 on the front.

boXXer

basically, on the outer lip rim, compmotive say you can only fit a 1.5"rear, and a 1"front, but stu's look like his outer rims are pretty big if you see what i mean.
this is what compomotive sent me...

"On all models you will require judicial trimming of the plastic bodyfit to provide suitable wheel/tyre clearance.

The front of the car will take a 1" outer and the widest rear option for the rear will have a 1.5" outer. A 2" outer will require bodymods beyond the plastic bodykit.

Widest rear fitment is 9" with a 245/35 tyre. Front would suggest 7.5" with 215/40"

Wish i had 9" on rear,which if you stick to 16" will go on,also have 4 9"x 17" revolution rfx splitrims in my shead that will go on at some point

Any pics of those Stu? dont know them.

Boxx I have never heard of that outer rim measurement being used before.. It just depends on the ET number and the J (width) of the wheel.

Chop here is a set of 1 pce revolutio rfx's on my 3dr,7.5 x 16 f and 8x 16 rear,in the correct off set for a 3dr




Yes i do have a fetish about period wheel

Im also thinking of a set of these, not split rims as such but very nice all the same

Nick500

you remember mine!

lamb chops

ah I know the ones Stu, yes I like them too So how many sets of wheels do you have!!

Nick500

Stu what happened to these wheels???

lamb chops

How could I forget yours Nick

STUCOS

iTrader: (8)

Nick still have them mate,trying to get a set of 9"x 16" for the rear

cheeRS stu

Nick500

I think white comps are the way to go mate!! they look the bollox on a moonstone4 car!! would be a bit worried for clearance issues though!!

lamb chops

Sell me your images wheels Stu!!!!

Nick500

You still have the 16" rfx's??? would you part with them?? nae too keen on the 17 inchers though but the 16" if they fit straight on!!

lamb chops

Going to see how it goes Nick, I agree I do like them but im not prepared to cut anything as you can imagine. Im also not going down the coilover route again. I may get the two fronts machined down to an ET35 but its finding somewhere that can do it..

boXXer

nick, do you have any piccies of the white 3dr in your sig with the gold/silver splits on?

Nick500

Yeah mate!!





These are the wheels stucos has now!!

lamb chops

WOW they look good Nick!!!

Nick500

Yeah mate, but they do need the back arches trimmed a bit to fit!! I never did it to my 500 though so the wheels had to go!! Stu wanted them so all sorted!

boXXer

excellent mate, and what make/size were they? the rear outer lip looks HUGE! lol.

Nick500

They were the image split rims mate!! they did the rounds!!

I bought them from Doo! and then sold them to stucos!!

boXXer

lol, fair enough. VERY nice wheels. is it just the plastic that needs trimming? or the metal too?

lamb chops

Im sure they would be fine Nick if you used a slightly smaller rear tyre.. Would spoil the look then though eh

lamb chops

Ah yes remeber seeing these in Doo's car. They have done the rounds!! Very nice wheels though.

DOO

A few pics of those alloys before Nick bought them off me then sold to Stu They did not suit the saff but look the bolloxs on the 3 door.


Also they a bastard to clean

Nick500

yeah mate!! but was a 215 tyre already!!

boxxer the plastic was all that needed trimming but with my 500 being a low number and in good condition I could not bring myself to do it!! have now got these on her!



And they fit and look great as well!!
