5 posts since 2011, wow you do keep yourself to yourself don't you haha.

Yup!

Desperately needs 6J 14" wheels and 195/45/14 uniroyals.

Aesthetics aside, tyres that big must have an adverse effect on acceleration.

Otherwise, it looks a neat car -- Seis look good in black!

Its a great looking car.I have a basic 1.1 sx at present which I hope to do up one day if I ever get the engine to work properly !!

ye have 185/60/13s on at mo as wanted wider and rid of the Nankangs as they were made of black stone i think> but replacing with 175/50/13's on new airbrushed alloys i am doing at the mo.

will confess did not think the 185/60/13 would be as big as they are and now the lowering kit is on they do rub in front arched when winging it round corners quick lol!!! My Brother can have them for his new Ford pop hotrod as it runs the same size and the back wheels go through tyre's like water. Capri 1.6 Pinto engine fully tuned in a Ford pop and hes only gone and painted it back so we both have quick small black cars lol!!! Good for playing on the highland twistie roads!

Ye normally really busy at work so never really had much time to spend on here. Also have bike and go to bike rallies and airbrushing as hobby so busy bee. But work a lot easier now so should be able to post more

I like the old school 4 spoker Cinq wheels so acquired a set along with arbath body kit which is next mods and finished first one off to look like the below.

Whats the general thought on them i know they are not 14's but i like them and you don't see many Sento's with Cinq wheels on, not everyone's taste i know but if we were all the same life would be poo

Cheers Blu73!

you could just get 185/50's if you want to keep the wider profile, is what i ran way back when i had 13" wheels.

ye was thinking that also but they aint cheep!

may even go to 175/60/13 to be honest they look bigger in the picture than they do in real life? Not sure yet will finish the alloys then decide :idea: as plenty of pot holes in the roads up here and without rubber to protect alloys they die very quickly

Blu was just looking at a handy site i was once given a link to ages ago for reference about wheels diameters, off sets and the like amongst but a few of the handy bibles

If you look at the Tyre diameter application 195/45/15 like on your black Cinq is the same size as 185/60/13 lol!!! but lower profile does look better i do agree, just wish the roads up hear in the highlands was not as bad :doh:

 

[blu73]

yes but you can't fit 195 to 5.5j wheels, well its not advisable but sure some people do.

And what was on them 15s is kinda besides the point, you need to compare the rolling radius to stock wheel and tyre combo. Plus them 15s required the arches to be rolled and the inside of the tyre kept catching. That car now has 14x5.5j wheels with 185/50r14 tyres.

Looks nice and clean remove the spotlights and that will be better imo
