Lookin @ new wheels 4 nxt year & would rather get 15s cos me baby is lowered 60mm and dont wanna attack her with a grinder or sacrifice the lovely go-Kart handlin. So answer my question please!! :rolleyes:

I think it's fairly safe to say that no-one is impressed by 15"s, or any wheel that fits straight on.

by **KEVFRST** on Fri Dec 21, 2001 2:43 pm

Oh POO!!

by **chumkila** on Fri Dec 21, 2001 3:08 pm

but Kev YOU are the one who'll be driving her so the final decision IS down to you m8. :wink:

by **MarkFRST** on Fri Dec 21, 2001 3:21 pm

I am impressed by 15's :rolleyes:

I just couldn't justify chopping most of my car apart to fit bigger wheels, especially if it fecks up the handling and slows it down alot. If your like me and cringe at the sound of rubbing then don't go any bigger than 15".

Mark :smile:

i'm like this too. but i dont think i have a choice now!! :grin:

Not arse kissing here, but Mark Stewart (Excursion)'s 2i on 15" GiT wheels looks awesome - it's low enough to eat tarmac and doesn't look ott.

Kev's motor isn't a completely nutty machine and imho the combination would be very, very smooth :smile:

Project how bout mine on 17's??

by **KEVFRST** on Fri Dec 21, 2001 3:53 pm

15s it is, Deffo, but which damn ones, this is the hard bit. :rolleyes:

I will be needin photoshoppers soon I think!! :lol:

by **Bridger** on Fri Dec 21, 2001 3:56 pm

yeah FiestaBoy why ??? :???:

by **Sp00ny** on Fri Dec 21, 2001 8:36 pm

15's are a compromise i suppose, but mine never rub (-35mm) so for me they're ideal. Get rims that have spokes going right to the edge to make them look like 16's.

yeah but ade if u use it every day then they are fine if its a show car then big wheels are there but as u said to me 18s are not practical AT ALL :smile:

It's entirely up to you at the end of the day mate and the only reason to be ashamed of your hoops is if you decided to go on a complete budget 'cos you're crap at saving (like me then :smile:

by **fiestakingfisher** on Fri Dec 21, 2001 9:11 pm

Well, I'm sticking with my 15's for now, bcos I haven't got enough cash to buy more!!!!
Also, these 15's cost me enough!!!!

15s rule, good looks, practical, accelration, handling, low looking, no hacking, min rubbing. ok they aint the biggest looking rim but they are still 2" bigger than xr2i standards. and 2" is a big increase for any modded car, e.g. esc cossie go from 16">18" easy etc etc

by **Jesser** on Sun Dec 23, 2001 12:03 pm

I agree with fraser! :wink:

by **The Bruster** on Sun Dec 23, 2001 1:17 pm

Oh Lou forgot to say my mechanic said your car was well nice today esp the rims!!!!! (when I borrowed it cos mine was dead :sad:
