What does everyone think, i cant decide?

not my cup of tea to be honest, i don't think they would match the style of the car at all.

**Four problems there (discounting the fact that they're 17").
1. They're Wolfrace.
2. They're as ugly as Wayne Rooney's afterbirth.
3. They're as heavy as Michelle McManus's morning dump the day after a parmo (one for nightstalker there).
4. They make your brakes look absolutely bloody tiny. I've never tried stopping a car with Fray Bentos tins before…**

I had 18's on mine and hated them, you could feel every tiny little bump as the tyres are just too low a profile.
£80 should get your alloysbent back or £100 if they split and need welding.
But they would need painting afterwards as its obvious whenan alloy has been repaired.
How bad were they??

Car looks tidy! Nice buy

i'll get a picture up tomorrow of the wheel, its just a flat spot on the inside of the rim, enough for the bead to lose its seal.

I'd consider bunging some alloy wheel sealer on to help it not leak. Just incase you can't get it perfect with your hammer.
Hope it don't split on ya.

i will need a new tire as it got bitten by the pot hole aswell, yeah i hope it doesn't splitt but im hopping a little heat might prevent that. fingers crossed.

Just got the wheel sorted and it didn't crack! yes boy!, started on the interior aswell, its looking good so far but i found out that clear lacker spoils the finnish of the chrome paint i've got :evil: so will have to do some bits again tomorrow.

I tried that chrome paint a while ago and it just would not work for me at all

It seemed ok with a good finnish but seems delicate to touch which is why i was going to lacquer it all.

The wheels were cheep with new tyres on and i think they suit the car (personal pref). The mats are ed hardy and are from ebay.
