Finally found the rims on the silver car.

Will a 30 et work front and rear? I think im in love.

 

nah dude....those are keskins....the rims on the silver car in this thread are kerscher kcs's

and in terms of et30, what width are you thinking and will you be lowering it or modding the fenders? Stretching the tires?

 

any of them that are 4x100

check out www.tunershop.com and http://setuning.com/ecom/index.php/cPath/39

 

Oh, i was jsut going off his thread hear

I wouldnt mind trimming the fenders or stretching the tires a bit. Not sure if i would go as extreem as he did, maybe 215/40

I do plan to lower, but only on h-sports per our conversation last saturday.

 

Im not planning on doing anything but lower for the time being, probably on H&R Coilovers to about the height of the DS/B, car with the Kerschers. With this in mind what size/offset should I go for? Also which of those vendors would you go with?

Thanks Man!

Holy Crap $899 For One Rim Nnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

 

yah....you arent gonna really enter the euro scene without paying heinous prices for wheels....especially 17s.

35 is a safe offset for you. look at the offsets that strom posted. 30 would be a nice little poke, but it would rub if not set up correctly.

 

That blue mini was in GoMini ages ago....it's a lovely car...

 

Seen it in person, its sick!

 

anyone know how thats done? is it a bondo job or metal fenders? i really really want to do that. whenever i get my arches painted i think i'll have to do that too.

 

its definitely metal

If it was bondo and you ever bumped them or maybe rubbed your tire on the fender....the bondo would crack and also ruin the paintjob.

 

Looking at the pictures, the flares appear to be a fiberglass panel. You can see it in white gelcoat in the construction shots.

 

damn! when will they make/sell parts like that? sounds freaking expensive otherwise.

not that i'm afraid of custom bodywork, just need someone who can do it.

The article said that it was all metal....i think the white is just the final layer of primer.

 

stretching tires on a 7" wide wheel is lame. although a mini could pull it off much more easily than a vw mk4.

 

What about these...? Look, no lights. Easy mod, just have to find a way to get them in the US. Anybody?

 

lots of places can source them for you....but i would still want reflectors somewhere....even if i had to hide them

Ask him, he has a cover up piece.

 

ehhhh not the same...i rather have working reflectors if you can still see the shape

 

why? why would you want them. it looks so much smoother without them. european cars don't use them. they're not essential.
