Bravo (Classic) Bravo HGT

[wolfracepunto]

I would have lowered it first, before fitting them. But they are a smart wheel

 

[gex18]

Not to my taste TBH, i think some chunky 5 spokes or some sweet mulitspokes would have suited it better, but it will look a lot better once its lowered

 

[jami]

Fair enough, but when I was taking the pic I raised the camera pretty high to reduce the gap around the wheel, but thinking about it I should have gone lower... Damn So its not as bad as that at head height... honest BTW these wheels are only temporary, saving up for some nice ones

 

[drunknspike]

what size alloys are they did you have a drive around to let the suspention settle before taking pics ?

 

[bridges]

Looks spot on mate. I think they look rather than the usual chav halfords parts bin specials. It looks like it could have rolled out a factory with them on looking tasteful

By the way what profiles are you running? My HGT looks lower

 

[jami]

Thanks bridges. To be fair it looks better in the flesh because I held the camera too high, head level it looks :worship: Profile is 195/75 what have you got? I really cant get the car much lower as parts of the exhaust, front bumper, and under tray is only aobut 4 inches from the floor!
Wolfrace yeh your right, I didnt let it settle in. Ill get better pics tomorrow for you guys

My girlfriends Bravo Hgt is running my old coupe wheels, 205,50,15"

looking good Jami, i think you should possibly consider activematts wheels in the classifieds, look a similar style and they have been looked after very well

need to get some pics of my hgt up, but she needs a clean and a few bits swapping over from patch atm... plus im working silly hours aswell

 

[faster4_tec]

sorry dude, prefer the 4spoke hgt's as per std

 

[jami]

sorry dude, prefer the 4spoke hgt's as per std

Hmmmm I dont think so They are :yuck:
Just got some pics of the car at a better angle, so when I get home Ill post them.

 

[jami]

Right here is a better angle...

 

[beau]

sorry i dont like em either, they look too small! some mulitspoke 17's lowered on its arse would look

and whys every panel look a different shade

 

[jami]

Fair enough. All panels are the same shade except drivers door and front n/s wing, they are just slightly lighter. I think its had a side swipe in the past. Note no 155 20v badge and cracked indicator... Also that door is a bit creaky. But it really doesnt bother me

195/75 what diameter, i'm on standard HGT alloys which i like! :devil: and Running 205/50/15 and 195/55/15

 

[jami]

Hmmm not sure mountain.... Ill get back to you on that one.

 

[mountainmachine]

Just did a quick check on http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html and your speedo will be reading about 12-17% slow with 75's on 15.'s and getting bigger if 16's etc.

So 60 means your going at 70! DANGER!

 

[jami]

Quality link mountain

 

[mountainmachine]

No probs mate just watch your speed in them, but i'd advise getting them changed if you can as normally only 3% diff is advisable, :z prob why your car looks so high, you got an extra 20mm off the ground all round on the wheels!

 

[jami]

Thanks to fiatforum member *james* I have just got a set of 17 '' abarth claws, been looking for these for some time now, and Im well chuff. Getting it lower by 40mm in two weeks as well
