C6 VRG Chains DONE and new magnex fitted :D

[darrensphatvr6 0]

Here are some pictures of my Corrado VR6 as I've been fitting my new Oz Vega rims 3 piece split rims (16" 9J) with 25mm adapters. The car was standard when I bought It apart from some 17" Santa Monica wheels. My last two cars were a red 1.8 16v Corrado and my last was a DBP 1.8 16v.

 

Since owning the car, I first swapped the angel eyes off my valver onto the VR, I then bought some inpro crystal fog/indicator lights to match with the headlights. I was looking for some deep dish wheels for a while and then found the Oz's for sale on ebay. I bought them off Nick Lewis at retrowheels who re-furbished them and added 3.5 inch dishes to them :D . I had to use 25mm adapters as the stud pattern was 5x112. While I was putting the wheels on, I put the Silversport coilovers which I bought brand new. Once the wheels were fitted, I ran them for about 5 days and coudn't have more than 2 people in the car so in the end I took them off :lol: and then sold them so back on went the SM's :wink: .

 

Right the pics

Trust me mate you want to see them in real life, i don't know whether to pull out the arches, it truly depends on how much it is going to cost, do you know about how much they might cost me because if they are too much, i might sell them and put a different set of wheels on.

I bought the car from Pontefract near Leeds, and a garage up there did it mate. The wheels are 9j 16" 5x112 with 25mm adapters and the make are oz racing but are similar to bbs rs as you can see in the pictures, the outers are the same as bbs's. Cheers

Nice deep dish wheels, you've either got to push those wheels in a bit or do those arches. Arches are not easy to get right though.

Depends how much arch work you need doing but its easily £200 a corner to pull them and then most likely need respraying.

Get some 20mm adaptors on and change the dishes to smaller 1's (sure furks will say keep them as they are) and then the arch work wont be needed to be pulled as far so it will still look standard with still phat rims, but whichever way you do it its going to cost you, but i prefer the more standard looking arches on phat rims instead of stupidly pulled arches as it ruins the lines of the car, but thats not to say they cant be improved upon.

Nice mate.

 

What colour is that? I love it.

Looks sweet, surely if you got 15/20mm adaptors and had the arches rolled those wheels would fit fine with a 205 or 195/40/16 trye on?

Nice mate.

It's dark burgundy pearl

I have already got adapters with the wheels because the fitment is 5x112 so I got 25mm adapters 5x112 to 5x100. I am selling the wheels because they look ridiculously too wide, it's a shame because they are really nice looking. They are currently on ebay, here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :IT&ih=005

smaller adaptors

As I have finally sold my OZ Vega's (to biggerbigben), I have money to spend :D What do you think I should do, buy a private plate and a stainless steel exhaust and keep the santa monica's on, or buy some other wheels?

[junkie 0]

Keep the wheels, dont bother with a plate and get smashed in the pub.
