Official caution Id say - the wheels look good, but youve missed an opportunity to make the car look IMMENSEOriginally Posted by Dandan
Can I go now officer?Passing up the Equips is like passing up a night with Holly Valance for me.
Skirts look damn fine though - good work for that but we arent the sideskirt police unfortunately
I get the feeling that this would only work if we could pursuade Ernest Borgnine to drive the Isle of Wight to Portsmouth hovercraft.
Your nearly rolling with the big dogs there.
Looks lots better.
Wow. What a difference.
With the skirts in black, they look really smart.especially considering the cost!
IMO the wheels are still a bit weak. Another 10 - 15mm on them. (Get Philbo out to roll the arches if required!)
Wheels look sh1t.
Still need a 20mm spacer at least
lol, dont hold back.Wheels look sh1t.
Still need a 20mm spacer at least
I like them, and if your happy, thats all that matters.
But you should of got the Equips........................
Wow, i'm amazed that most people think the wheels should come out further, I thought they looked perfect as they are. Well, at least I am now in a position to alter that if I wish to, a new set of studs and some spacers, but it seems a shame to turn a bolt-on (and bolt-off again, if needed) modification into something irreversible, with the arch work etc.
Si, i'm sorry about not getting the equips but it was a simple case of economics, the equips were going for about £500 without tryes and they are 18's so I was looking at £900+ to get them on my car. The ebay specials are 19 inch (which looks right, 18's could have looked too small) and came with tyres fitted and balanced, nuts, locking nuts, the lot, for £700, it was a simple choice after that, and i'm well pleased with them, which is the main thing I guess.
Glad peeps like the skirt, it needs re-making about 30mm longer and wrapping a bit tidier, but I think I will go ahead with them, perhaps adding a very small front one to match in the near future.
Right, i'm off to buy a leopard skin interior and a camel hair coat, see you on a street corner soon.
Thats why we are the offset police and you arent
Seriously though, they dont look bad, but take it from someone who knows - youll regret not spening that extra few hundred quid ...........
You are happy though and thats the main thing. Go get a cane, a widebrim hat and strut to da club.
I get the feeling that this would only work if we could pursuade Ernest Borgnine to drive the Isle of Wight to Portsmouth hovercraft.
Looking much better now the skirts are done and matched to a new set of wheels.
Like what the others on here have said, i would have held out for the equips but as long as you are happy thats all that matters
Dan I've got to say the car is looking fantastic. Really liking the wheels* and the skirts really work well. I had a decent idea of what you were aiming for even when they were white but now they are black they really suit the car
*The offset police are always on my tail!
Talking of offset police, if you posted the idea of puting ET35 wheels on a Soarer, let alone ET12 on a Soarer forum you'd have the 'anti-offset police on your back
Tried asking about wheel fitment on MRC? I may have just finished typing a friday night rant on thereTalking of offset police, if you posted the idea of puting ET35 wheels on a Soarer, let alone ET12 on a Soarer forum you'd have the 'anti-offset police on your back
i think the wheels look spot on as they are, i wouldn't have held out for equips because im tight as a ducks arse! i'd have done the same as you
Whats wrong with a bit of inspiration???Otehr than the slightly tenuous link to the brand, how the fcuk is that relevant to this thread?
(other than the 'look at me' part...)
Nothing if it's even slightly relevant to the thread.
Now, back ot the matter in hand...
Any plans for the front splitter then? it's a bank holiday weekend! get fabbing!
Wow! At first i thought oh dear, what is he doing!! But now it looks awesome, good work matey
Now how about some carbon fibre (effect) wind deflectors?
looks good to me
Check out the numberplate on that blue RX7 up there ^^
Edit: Sorry to go off topic
wheels are a step in the right direction, but you should have got more dish and wider
putting a 265 on a 9.5" isn't pimp
I think that Soarer looks fecking awesome with those wheels & skirts
Amazing what you can do in photoshopCheck out the numberplate on that blue RX7 up there ^^
Photo shop or not, that's the actual plate on that FD
