James. 7 Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) Well, from here they look like a paid for job. Wonderful result. So what gives, are these for (and I use the term loosely) day to day use, or are you having a rewind on the mod front and going all "factory" on us ? Edited February 1, 2012 by James.

The wheel journey..!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corrado16 10 Posted February 5, 2012 WWOOOWW Your Corrado looks good with all your alloy wheels, especially with the RS and CH :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted February 5, 2012 LOL trying CH on one side of the car for 5 mins hardly qualifies, but on a serious note would like to see the RXII fitted to one side whilst they are still black and have tyres could look really good maybe even better than silver!!!?

Yes but I did have the chance to buy them but decided they were too modern for me....anyhow I do like them in black and will try them on tomorrow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted February 5, 2012 I still think it's hard to beat the Solitudes but think the CH's are the next best out of all those - they're superb! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C5 OEM 0 Posted February 5, 2012 Loved the rs`s but having 2.3k sat there made no sense, ch`s to modern for me and the borbets really need 195`s on the front... the solitudes are great but need to adjust the ride height to suit... Rx`s are bang on for me..not to much money involved and great fitment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abdul 0 Posted February 5, 2012 I reckon yours looked best on standard wheels to be honest. All the 17's manage to look too big on your car for some reason IMO. Maybe it needs a 90mm splitter or more lows? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walesy 0 Posted February 5, 2012 Thought they were, I've got a set of 18x8.5 on my van, they look great on your rado. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted February 5, 2012 Silver centres can look good too, but want to see them on the car whilst still black:thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 7 Posted February 6, 2012 ... I've been here for years. Liking the RX11's a lot. Was keeping a lazy eye out for these in a sixteen inch / four bolt for the eight valve, but they never appeared at what I consider "sensible money". I too would like to see them fitted with black centers. Though would probably opt for all silver if fitted to mine. Dad runs LMs that are black and polished and they look peachy. But his car is black, so I guess it really depends on the colour of the coachwork. Funny to see snow in the north west. We didn't get a flake over this way.

C5 OEM 0 Posted February 12, 2012 Well the rx`s are split but unsure on keeping the polished lip or going for all painted....? opinions....? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIPVW 0 Posted February 12, 2012 Are polished lips a pain to maintain Andy, I know a mate with a camper didn't have his laquered due to it flaking off later on so went for bare alloy and they do look the bees knees at a show when he's buffed them with some alloy cleaner but a bit time consuming maybe. But then that's how we roll! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C5 OEM 0 Posted February 12, 2012 Yeah you can buff them up but you must keep on top of them.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
