Default Opinions on wheels (some before pics added)

Want to go back to standard rims as car drives so much better with them on these came with the car when i bought was'nt sure on them but now had them on a couple of days there growing on me what do you think.





Also got my interior back together and thought i would take a pic of my underside as i cant believe how un rusty it is please excuse the gold diff lol.





Some pics how it looked when i got it.

Was this the Saff which was on Pistonheads with some gash decals and engineless? Was asking a high price for it aswell?

If so it looks a hell of alot better now

Yes this is the one only 3 owners last one for 15 years been in a heated garage never seen paint (although it needs a bit now) 67000m all original eched glass avo coilovers fully poly bushed mint interior is a lot better car than it sounded in the advert and i wont say how much but i gave no way near what it was advertised for.

He dropped it off friday i worked on it sat night and bank holiday monday had to strip the engine out of doner car aswell tax and mot'd it tuesday and took it to the ace cafe that night.

And i dont know what was goin on with the graphics but they came off 10 minutes after it was dropped off.

Cool, refurb the wheels to Std colour then maybe a smaller front plate (not to small tho) and it would look even better than it does now

Also have you got the pics of it Before the Sticker strip off

Not too sure, but id remove those stickers they look horrid in my opinion and too many of them, you'd be doing well to get rid of them all.


EDIT just realised i think the stickers were on when you bought it, but then you removed them as per your top pics?

I'm not keen on the Gold either, but its your car pal.

There's a guy on here with a Magnenta saph who has similar alloys to yours, except there diamond cut, and the gold bits are Grey. Look really nice!

Thats what i was thinking having them done back more original colour maybe a bit darker and have the fronts diamond cut again as i do like them its just the gold.

Really nice looking car, although I think the trade off in how it drives and originality is outweighed by the fact that it would look great on 17s,

Or have a set of each and change as the mood takes you? Ultimatley though, as long as you are happy with it.
