Looks really smart wheels suit it well that's why I wanted a pic

as there the wheels I want for mine

Can I ask what size tyres your running and how much you've lowered it what springs shocks etc.. Really like how yours is sat

rare colour and haven't seen them wheels ... defo different

Cheers for the comments everyone, it makes the work worth it....

Jimmy, i have lowered it by 60mm on the front and i have used 50mm corsa rear springs as with every kit you buy the back always sits a bit higher, so i did my research ws gonna fit 60mm rear corsa springs but apparently that is too low..

I am using 195/55 tyres which are fine as the wheels have an offset of 36... found the wheels all seperately as most were from scrapyards as they were tigra / astra mk3 spares.. as you may well know

Oh and it is springs only which i regret now, but i wanted coilovers but they are stupid money for these cars...

God dam it we're moving house soon an there is speed bump's in the street we're moving to so I'm unsure weather to go that low

Its a shame cause you have achieved the look I'm aiming/hoping to achieve lol

I'm running 195/55 aswell do you get any rubbing/scraping at all?
How come you regret it is the ride harsh?

I'm on 195/45/15's and -60mm and only ever catch on the most mountainous of speed bumps

I don't have any rubbing problems, it's just a bit bouncy and i forgot how sh** roads are these days... so i just need some shortened shocks!!

But i love it otherwise!!

I would like to space the rear wheels out a bit as they do seem to sit in so far!!

Have you found any of these steel wheels yet Jimmy?

jimmy · Post by **jimmy** » Wed Sep 14, 2011 3:02 pm

Not yet no I haven't looked as yet as I need to tax it first and I'm guessing that any mod's I wanna do I won't be able to until next year I reckon plus I want to give it abit of a service an cambelt change which is all cheap enough but my mrs's maternity pay has finished now so we living on one wage

lol

I do like your cav mate love the stance it has

cavboy180 · Post by **cavboy180** » Wed Sep 14, 2011 3:41 pm

I fancy a leather interior Jimmy, but like everything down to money

love how low she it buddy

not to sure on the black wheels tho but looks good

and agree coilovers are mega £££££

cavboy180 · Post by **cavboy180** » Thu Sep 15, 2011 9:49 am

That's why they went back to silver.. the black ones are older pictures.. tried white as well, but stuck with silver as the tried and tested formula!!
