W3RKD 0 Posted February 22, 2005 The colour looks phenominal in that last picture! But I think the RS's ruin it for me. Just wish it was rolling on something a little fresher, thats all! :( the rs301 i belive were designed for the rado.. so i guess this is the ultimate oem wheel really... personally i think it looks amazing .

mrbeige 0 Posted February 22, 2005 Not my cup of tea, either! Bit boring really.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted February 22, 2005 You can't say its boring just a cleaned version of standard and if I know Steve the standard will be v. high with some unique touches no doubt, i'm confident it will look far better in the metal than in these pics. I like it but as I said earlier i'm glad its been kept subtle. I agree about the rims he should swap them with me for my RH ZW1s :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomB 0 Posted February 22, 2005 I really like that, the colour is cool and I like the wheels, but the only thing that niggles is the mirrors (or lack thereof). Cheers, Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CoxyLaad 0 Posted February 23, 2005 good point and may I say very well argued! To be fair though the car looks really nice, nice colour, and standard ish. I didnt even notice it had no mirrors lol! I bet thats a knacker to drive. Its just the way the wheels have been don that gets me :snipersmile: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 23, 2005 Some people feel stretching the tyres accentuates the wheel..... but to me it just looks like the owner was too tight to fit a proper tyre. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shilakadaddy 0 Posted February 23, 2005 I'm supprised people aren't keen, I thought this is the style that most people on this forum liked... :? Either way I like it... its certainly how I'd want mine to be, very subtle - but I'd have different wheels and rear lights 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted February 23, 2005 As i've said, I think the car looks very nice but I just really don't get on with those wheels - though would feel slightly better about it if they were dished slightly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bournemouth James 0 Posted February 23, 2005 some people like the look of stretched tyres and some people dont, i like it, and i think they blend in with the shape of the arch If he used correct tyres for those width of rims, he would have to run the car so high, that it would look like a 4x4!!

carpoid 0 Posted February 23, 2005 This threads just goin the same a thousand others do, it all boils down to personal taste. Its hard not to say what you would prefer yourself or 'but if it was mine i would....' or 'i like it but...' quite funny really ! I myself can't just say i like without saying what i would of done. Like putting different tyres on it and.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bristolbaron 10 Posted March 11, 2005 I like it! The wheels arn't modern, but nors the car?! If they'd brought something out with fresh 20" spinners and a jap style bodykit they'd be closed down!! (or relocated to essex!) OEM+.. they way forward. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
