New shoes...not through choice!

stuno1 · 13-10-2007, 13:20

All 4 of my previous alloys were buckled so had to change the lot. Went for a more agressive look. Previously had multi spokes dezent type N, now have MOMO torque 3000 deep dish 5 spokes as below. The car gets a lot more attention with the new wheels! a lot more...Appreciate not to everyones taste but here they are none the less....

sorry , not to my taste , each to his/her own ,

also for some reason your car doesn't look lowered , although your sig says Eibach springs

stuno1 · 13-10-2007, 14:14

has the eibachs on, the angle of the pics does not help. Do want to put on coilovers and drop 15mm more but not without alloy sump guard.

Sorry mate just not feeling it think is the deep dish

stuno1 · 14-10-2007, 11:07

Potholes and soft wheels is right, got the money from my local borough as compensation though. My previous wheels were only 10 months old!!!!!

polocoupe · 14-10-2007, 22:55

I like the colour combo the black and chrome but I'm not keen on the style. Still if you like them thats all that matters mate

KTP · 15-10-2007, 00:43

not a fan of them at all to be honest.

mathepac · 11-11-2007, 19:08

Classy looking little car.

ultra_joel88 · 11-11-2007, 19:18

I think they look good.

reflex88 · 14-11-2007, 12:48

These are awesome.. I've always loved deep dish wheels with polished rims n centers and colored coded spokes.. I know some people find it a lil tacky.. but I HATE wheels that are to flat or, even worse.. have a more pronounced center than the rim like that horrible massiratti coupe had! .. love the feeling of depth and width these give your car!

fletch555 · 14-11-2007, 12:54

Not a fan either sorry.

Skodaboy1983 · 14-11-2007, 13:00

Might not be to everybody's taste but I like them, something diffrent.

(polite clearing of throat sounds) ehh, reg plates

stuno1 · 14-11-2007, 19:07

Have to admit i was not sure at first but have really grown on me and now i love the look.They are attention grabbing if nothing else.

alexst · 14-01-2008, 22:19

I think they look the nuts...

Kaiserb_uk · 14-01-2008, 22:21

I like them, though you need bigger discs to fill them.

djswivel · 15-01-2008, 12:01

Make sure you polish the lips all the time!!!

Had polished lips on the golf and after 8 months they were completed dull due to only polishing them once a week.
