Post by westside » Thu Jan 26, 2012 2:13 pm

Finally picked my alloys up big thnaks to Riz from Premier Auto Design in Harrow for chasing dub1 (took 3 months in the end)

anyway here we are:-

22*12 rear 335/25/22 conti 5 rubber
10"22 front 295/30/22 conti 5 rubber

Simple design wheel that should show the big brakes brakes off

Not bad - they should look good. Are they split rims? From the way they disappear into the dish, looks it (apologies if you already mentioned that in the other thread).

Just don't curb them! :o

Ditto. Look forward to seeing photos!

Can't believe just how low profile these are - looking at them there can't be much air in the tyre at all - pretty much rubber stretched around the wheel !!

A good test would be to have people sat in the car with buckets of ice cold water on their knees. Drive for a 100 metres down a cobbled street and see how much is left in the buckets! ;) And no, I'm not volunteering!

lol the cars already lowered its not that bad ive got the 21" on at the moment and its ok :-)

The rear profile is a killer but then m7 750 and my e60 were all running a 25 rear profile :-) a fine balance between looks and being comfy lol
