the wheels look good on the 500. but I'm not a fan of the stretched tyres, you could always lower it more to create natural camber, you could have normal tyres then possibly.
Ok this person does not have the same taste in car customisation as most people on here but do we need to call him a chav? and knuckles dragging along the ground? just because he likes a different style of car!
He is into cars the same as most people on here and we should respect him for that.
Ok the wheels may not be safe and if that is so them we should tell them that but personal attacks?
Lets hope you are not like that just because someone happens to have different colour skin to yourself.

Condoning something mindless and uninsurable shouldn't be tolerated - pretty simple.
Let's hope you're never involved in a collision with him...oh, and on the topic of colour - please don't assume anything about me or my ethnicity.

I'm not a fan of stretchy tyres either but everything else is spot on IMO ICE500 
On another note theres a lot of unwelcoming and unfair behaviour on here towards the OP. His cars a great looking example and if it had the correct sized tyres on it would look awesome. the legality issues of the tyres may well have been overlooked but that doesn't mean he should be hauled over the coals for it. Be nice, people

What do you mean everything else? It appears to have a stripe on it, a sticker or two and a nit comb hanging under the rear bumper? About 45 minutes of work in all.
Why should people be nice to someone who puts their lives in danger on the road because they want to have stretched tyres? If I were Tsar of the UK people like this would be pulled out of their cars, shot and their cars auctioned off sans silly "mods" and the money given to charities.
Whilst I somewhat agree with what you've said, why is it OK for you to insinuate that the OP is ghey as if this is a bad thing?
Personally I think that someone who willingly makes their car unsafe and drives it on a public road deserves anything that's forthcoming, surely it works both ways.....
I did not say that he was gay... I just put that on there on the assumption that he was not gay so he would not use the photo elsewhere.. I even said if he was gay I would change it.
I am sure no one on here cares if he is gay or otherwise.
Apart from bjm38 as he likes to judge.
Because he probably didn't know any better. I've seen loads of stretchy tyres out and about (usually on German stuff) so I just assumed they were legal? What if ICE500 did the same? Why didn't the tyre fitters advise? If they are illegal then they should be removed straight away of course.
And as for the stripes well each to their own doesn't mean he should be ridiculed for it?....... At least thier legal.
Unfortunately ignorance isn't an excuse when it comes to the law though.
I just hope he has the sense to do the correct thing now he's been informed before he has an accident and his insurance company take to google to search 'WR09 CPZ'
Your absolutely right and it should be pointed out but he shouldn't be ridiculed. No need.

Actually you'd be surprised how much nicer the ride is! I was never a fan and was prepared to get mine dialed back up but it handles much better on the coilies than on std suspension. Proved to me when my 1.2 lounge was parked at home and I had a 1.2 s as a rental...
Don't knock it till you've tried it! My other cars are a stock smart fortwo and Colt both on std suspension and compared to stock on the fiat even the smart handles better!

You must be related to 306Maxi... I thought personal insults were his area.

Who didn't ask for the width of the tyre or rim? Your insurance company?
Concerning insurance, I'm definitely with others on this, I wonder how you could be legally insured with that tyre/wheel combo. Have you actually provided a photograph of your car wearing those wheels to your insurer? Actually, I don't suppose it really matters, after all, you've posted your car with the reg number fully on show for the world to see......even your insurer
I'd be interested to know how old you are? I suspect if you are a young driver, even if you could obtain car insurance with that tyre/wheel combo, your premium would be ridiculous.
