clumpy1 11 Posted August 13, 2014 Thank's Chris I certainly won't be doing them until I know for sure now you have said that. Also the attraction of these wheel's is the fact they are original and as they came out the factory I will not do anything that will change that. Do you know how old they are?

coullstar 0 Posted August 13, 2014 Very nice, both sets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 18 Posted August 13, 2014 Those wheels are completely original and possibly one of only a handful of untouched 301's. They were Gareth's until he sold up. If you take the centre cap off there should be a date stamp on there. Possibly 22 years old!! I definitely wouldn't take the bolts out! Car will be great next year, can't wait to see it!

Goldie 2 Posted August 13, 2014 Nice wheels, both sets.. I think they will be 1992.. Mike will know for definite and will give you the low down on bolt replacement etc.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank's Micheal you were right about the RC's on a Dark coloured car one of my mates when he seen the RC's off the car said "They are too modern for your car" However today when I put them on he held his hand's up and said they looked awesome. The wheel's are why I have put the Bilstein B12 kit up for sale as these wheel's need a low car and the KW's are best for that. July 92 mate just checked and yes they do live in the house. Mike is the man when it comes to BBS's I'll ask his advice cheer's Micheal :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkFoster 0 Posted August 13, 2014 Lovely choice of wheels you have there James; your only problem now will be deciding which to wear! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bristolbaron 10 Posted August 13, 2014 GOD DAMN!!!!! Good work bud. I'm not a fan of RC's [i know i'm alone in this :lol:] but was going to comment on how well the car looked sat on them and how with the R engine it really needed to be sat on something you could use to make the most out of the performance. Then I see the updated pics. Lovely job. Whatever you do, don't get bored again in another 6 months.. You've reached the peak, this is as good as it gets, anything else you consider is a mistake! 10/10. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not finished yet Baz the car will be out next year although I can't guarantee you will see it as it will be going to show's north of the border cumbria vag fest and a couple of other south of the border Tatton being one as I have some mates in the north west but nothing really south of Tatton but who know's. IT WILL BE OUT AND ABOUT. I think I've done about 3k mile's in it so far.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

n3p 3 Posted August 14, 2014 Game changing wheels! I was seriously tempted by them when Daren had them up for sale but decided against them... may regret that! Glad they've gone to a good home though and the car is looking great :thumbleft: Haven't done anything new on my car recently, just been driving the hell out of it but posts like this give me inspiration to pull my finger out :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 14, 2014 The G60 has much better clearance for proper wheel tuck. Great job mate. I hate all the wheel poke tyre stretching nonsense that goes on these days, so it's really nice to see a tasty Corrado with wheels that fit the car's profile perfectly :) I'd take the RCs over the RSs though, but both work!

Cheer's Kev I don't like the poke and crazy tyre stretch either the way my TH's sat were the way I like them. I thought you would prefer the RC's but the RS's are only really for show's I do love the RC's for showing the brake's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OSV 0 Posted October 12, 2014 Really don't like the de-badged grille look, car was coming together so nicely losing some of its more custom excesses and I think this is a backwards step Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loepan 11 Posted October 12, 2014 i like a bit of stretch and poke me....horses for courses and all that, but it can be done badly, get it wrong and it can effect the whole cars handling....i run adaptors, so they sit flush with arches and the stance looks a bit meaner from the rear love the new wheels clump, really look good, huge fan of these...keep em silver too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
