What sizes will fit on the standard sporting alloys?

195 50 15 or 195 45 15 if you want a smaller profile i think

Re: MK2b Sporting

Thats wider than the 185 standard size then?.

 

[midget4hire]

Re: MK2b Sporting

Didnt think wider tyres would fit
Might have to get some 195 45 15's then

 

[midget4hire]

Re: MK2b Sporting

All decided
instead of selling my 50mm lowering kit im guna use it, getting wheels done in anthracite and ordering the michelin Pilot Exalto PE2's in 195 50 15

Re: MK2b Sporting

Tyres have arrived all the way from Germany
£220 delivered

Alloys getting refurbed on Friday in Anthracite

Also, added a forum sticker to the back. Not sure if I should put another 2, 1 on either rear side window though. Any thoughts?

Re: MK2b Sporting

One sticker is fine!

Anthracite wheels sound good!

 

[midget4hire]

Re: MK2b Sporting

Thought it might look a bit too much with more than one

I hope the wheels come out ok, and hopefully I shouldnt be able to scuff them as the new tyres have a rim protection edge on them

Just waiting on finishing the speaker build in the boot now
Only the side panels left to make

Re: MK2b Sporting

The wheels are done
What do you think??

 

[Josh Bowe]

Re: MK2b Sporting

Wheels look mint, especially with the Abarth centre caps!

Go low though!

 

[karbineftw]

Re: MK2b Sporting

Really nice. Loving the alloys

 

[B3NNETT]

Re: MK2b Sporting

i like the alloys needs to go lower though def.

and i want your centre caps!

 

[Memzee]

Re: MK2b Sporting

Hmm wheels don't do it for me. I like alloys to stand out from the car.

 

[midget4hire]

Re: MK2b Sporting

I have the lowering kit ready just waiting to get replacement bolts (learnt the hard way last time)

Re: MK2b Sporting

What do people think to red calipers and black drums?
was going to go all red but may have been persuaded otherwise

I'd leave the calipers and drums black as it emphasises the smallness of them and lack of rear discs if they're red.
But maybe red centre caps? That's the look I'm doing for my Sporting wheels - black with red centre caps.
I like the wheels that colour

Re: MK2b Sporting

Not a bad idea, i dont really wana remove the centre caps now tho incase i damage the wheels
plus the badges over the centre caps match the ones on the front and rear

surely red calipers would be acceptable?
