Alloys, What next

Featured Replies

Ive just bought a set of alloys, that were apparently of an Audi A3, Not bad condition, but 195/65/15 tyres too big for wheel arch liner. Ive got a set of tyres lined up, but do i keep the wheels silver, go grey, black or white.

Dont know what style the wheels are (answers on a postcard please), so here is a pic, anyone that is anygood on photo shop, feel free to play with the colours. They will be going on a red fabia estate

cheers steve

Haha, I've got a set of them. They're from a (circa) 2001 Audi A3 1.8T Sport. Mine are rocking 195/45/15R Falkens;

And if green's not your thing, I'd probably just stay with silver, or maybe a grey...

Ive got a set of 185/55/15s to go on, marginaly bigger rolling radius than the standard wheels that are on, so it should bring the speedo a bit more acurate than the 10% fast it reads

Ive managed to get the painter at work to spray them grafite grey with a metal flake for £20, so with the £30 i payed for them its going to cost less than a pair of standard tyres for MOT

White wheels always seem to look a treat on red motors! :thumbup:

they do look good, but black non asbestod brake dust has a tendency to eat its way in to the paint, and im not one for every sunday morning car washing
