[thomas1brad]

Wanting to go for the euro look on my GP just got paid and really want a new pair of shoes for my car. wanting some ideas suggestions for some deep dish alloys, I'm liking the 5 spoke but I will take any suggestions, links and even if someone is selling some

Rial 16s et25, 9J all round with stretched 195/45s look sweet IMO haha... Though they do attract the Plod I've found.

Can't attract any attention since my insurance is erm ... Questionable. Haha I'm liking the keskin kt1's at the moment but hoping someones that are even nicer come along, not sure borbets would suit my car.

Know anywhere that is selling these wheels? As I've seen them on yours and they're amazing. **** although am I able to get them less stretched in a hope to get less attention from the po po

No idea where you can buy them.

Can't even find them using Google.

Found these on good 'ol eBay...

Personally I think Borbets don't suit Grande's.....

I literally have 400 to spend on some alloys so I don't want to get some brand new wheels, yours poke out the car a bit too much haha I offered this lad 380 for this RH ZW1 with worn tyres on them which I liked, he wanted 600 for them dunno if I should offer more since I don't really know the value of them

Personally, not a fan of the studded alloys, you know, the bolts around the inner rim...

They may look good though...., I'm always open to being proven wrong haha.

Yeah mine do poke a bit though I have friends whose are worse...


400,... Hmm, quite a budget, mine were only £150

:what: such a deal for such dope wheels, I'm jealous haha. I've been looking at wheels for about a month now, always ends up with me slamming the laptop down with frustration, but yes I do like the style of your wheels the most so far :thumbup:

Took me ages to find them,.. Even then they were a bit of a gamble,..

Listed as 9J wheels off a BMW E30 wheels and that was it, no real details...

And the guy gave me some spacers free...,

Well i will keep an eye put, makes it even worse I am rubbish at the whole technical side, figured out 4x100 pretty much means 4 stud fitment I think. Was hoping for some more suggestions on here but think I've looked and googled and ebayed and gumtreed as much as I can so just gonna have to settle for something. Was thinking about some 17 inch GP sporting wheels if I could get them cheap until I decide if I could get them cheap

Any opinions on bbs alloys and what they look like on GP's? Thanks

Then why are you looking to spend money on wheels if you aren't insured adequately.

 

[thomas1brad]

I'm insured, technically it's my grandma's car, when the insurance is finished in November I'm putting it in my name fully. I'm just a named driver at the moment, I just want to get wheels and stuff because I've got a summer job before I go to uni so I'm buying all the stuff now (if I can find anything) and then either for example normal GP alloys I will just put on but if it's big pokey whee wait till November, either way I want to buy the parts now as I will be busy when I go to uni with the work there (that or being hungover, joking ) it's just kinda a project car as I'm planning to build it up, I could say yes it's modified but since it's in my grandma's name and yes she does drive it, I don't want to make her pay extra, I've told them about my eibach sportlines and there was no extra cost for them. Plus I'm going to a policing university so going in with barely legal looking wheels would look rather hypocritical, so basically want deep dosh with not too much poke and stretch and restoring (the punto is rather damaged) and getting the parts ready for when I go to uni and will go on my insurance which I've already being quoted £1,700 for modified. ... Oops I wrote a short story

Fair enough, just remember if you are the owner and main user of the car then it should be insured in your name with your gran as a named driver, not the other way around.

Insurance companies will do anything to get out of paying out for a claim and if your car and circumstances are different to what you have disclosed then you are not insured in any case which would lead to seizure etc. if stopped by the police (who can and do check with the insurers)

The car is in her name she is the main named driver and I'm added on, she then said for my 17th I can be a named driver and I can have the car when I go to uni, she goes away a lot so I actual end up using it a canny bit to get to work and back. But yes I understand the law and rules and understand that fronting is becoming a big problem because of rising insurance prices and since my nanna does drive the car and we have said to the insurace that we will both use it a lot opposed to me using it once a week (cheaper quote if this is done) it's all legal. Wanting to be a traffic cop so trying to keep my nose clean and mot get pulled over and what not is kinda high in my priorities when deciding what I am going to mod my car with, some cops might give me a hard time and say I'm fronting when I am in fact not. Easier to just keep put of trouble :sly:
