Styling Racing Stripes + Wheels - Advice Needed

RyanSparks · Nov 27, 2009

I am looking to get some racing stripes, preferably two thin ones (in white) to go down either the left or right side of the car, anyone know where i can hold of some on the internet? Secondly below there is a link to the wheels i am looking to purchase, can someone with good knowledge on here tell me if they will fit, there is a link for 17" and 18" though im not sure 18" will fit - Anyone? BTW i have a 2003 punto active 1.2 8V

Thanks

neither will fit mate, you need 4 stud, 98 pcd and 40 offset i think, besides 17s or 18s will be way to big, im only running on 15s and imo look fine. i wouldn't go any bigger than 16. stripes on the other hand will look nice. There's a shop near mine called GK's and they sell pin stripe by the roll of different widths from about 4mm up to something like 13mm.

Did his insurance cough up? "Forget" to tell them about anything and they will just walk away.

Mate they will fit i have checked with the dealer, although he said they might rub against the wheel arch could anyone, preferably the guy with the KEI's tell me if that is true with the 17" - i might just buy a set of spacers with them perhaps?

they will most likely rub, even with spaces because then the wheels will be pushed against the arch even more.

you will probably have to get the arches rolled out. to fit 17's.

imo i think its alot less hassle and easier to get 16's.
