ive been offered a set of RH cups for a very decent price. they are black centers with polished lip. im not sure how they would look tho

they 7x15" and ET 35 PCD is 4x100 so wobblies will be needed but will i need spacers too, and do you think they would suit or look too small?

ET35 means you shouldnt need spacers because 7x17s fit without spacers with that offset.

personally i'm not sure they'd suit a bravo, but its hard to say.
 
Going for the EURO LOOK! :)

Personally i think the Dub's look good with them, however you never know. Im sure if you trail the EURO Bravo sites you'll get more examples. Heres some i think look similar to a degree....

Obviously these are not 15's but the same style.

Hope this helps. (y)
 
will look better than the steel ones, what size in center bore? you probably need spigot rings

:yeahthat:

The centre bore (centre hole) will need to be 58.1mm so that the wheels sit on the lip that protrudes from your cars hubs - if it doesn't sit snugly on this lip, then the wheels will not be centralised on the hub which could make the bolts work loose and the wheels could fall off at speed. :eek:

Also, all of the weight of the car will be on the wheel bolts instead of the lip which isn't a good thing.

If the wheels centre bore are bigger than 58.1mm then you can use spigot rings to bring the centre bore down to 58.1mm. If the centre bore is smaller than 58.1mm, then you will need to bring the wheels to a machine shop to have the centre bore made bigger. (y)

With all that said, I don't think they will suit the car tbh. :eek:
 
i think they will look smart personally!

shes styled in a very sutble euro way to start with, and i think the wheels will set her off perfect.

but then, i can always flog em on ebay for 3x what im paying for them if they dont suit ;)
 
im collecting these next weekend, but they gonna need new tyres.. can anyone tell me the size of tyre im gonna need?! im wanting a relatively low profile but nothing massive. just wanna get some off blackcircles and get them done asap so the bravo can be pretty again!
 
They will look spot on (y) Anything bigger than 15s will make the car undrivable again. Plus 15s are a good size too. 17s look too big on that car. the bodykit doesnt warrent them and makes the car look too high off the ground. nice wide 15s is the way to go.

195/50s for a nicer ride, 195/45s for looks. Both will look nicely stretched on 7" wide wheels. Personally I would go for the 195/50s. They will help to fill the arches nicer. 45s will leave a gap as they are quite low profile.

im wanting them stretched anyway, i forgot to mention that bit :eek:

so would 195's stretch? or is that for a perfect fit and need a different size if i want them stretching

also...

what wobbly bolts will i need? not too clued up on the whole wheel thing! also where the frick do i get them from?! :confused:

don't you dare try and fit them with out the correct spigot rings though:nono:


i second that!!!!!

reason my wheels have been off my car so long is because i lost a spigot ring, its so unsafe running wheels without correct spigot rings!

i even drove 60 miles yesterday just to pick one up :rolleyes::eek:
