My sort-of restoration

[GeorgeMK1]

Always has been, Think a study was shown that txting/looking/ect is worse then drink driving.

Yep your right, because people keep looking down at their phones and even though its only a second or two it still causes lots of casulties. I know im in the wrong therefor didnt argue with the copper

Btw my super-duper-crazy-not-so-crazy-suprise will be revealed soon !!

Btw my super-duper-crazy-not-so-crazy-suprise will be revealed soon !!

its taking to loooooooooooooong, hurry up

[GeorgeMK1]

Well i've decided to only show ONE suprise tonight hehe. I have purchased a set of widened steelies 14x8 that i have been chasing for quite a while now (thanks Jace) I paid a fair bit for them but am happy with it.

My plan is to get spacers on the rear to further push it out and then camber the shi*t outta it. The rims specs are 14x8 +10 and sits perfect.
What tyres should i be looking at for a decent stretch? I was thinking 185/55 or 60. But then i said stop being a pussy and perhaps try 175/55 haha. What are the pissibilties on a 8" rim?

Also contemplating colours.. might go with a fluro red or maybe crome lip and gold inside. I shall see

[ffoff]

I thought you said you lost the bid?? or were you lying haha?

they look tough as! I say 175/55.

I did lose the bid. But from previously talking to him i had the idea he made a fake account to higher the bid. So after loosing it i was almost certain it was him. So i made him an offer saying if the buyer falls through id still be interested. Got a call, wento to hawthorn at 11pm, the day before all my school SAC's and got them hahahahaa. Baller aye

Yeah im gonna try find some second hand 175/55 as i'll be running camber. Will start looking tmoro, should be that hard i hope as majority of small cars stockies have 14" rims.

ahh what a **** haha. I was pretty interested in them, but the bank disagreed haha. Hopefully I'll get to see em in the flesh sometime!

These are the kinda wheels that need a fair bit of stretch, a little just wont look right, especially with camber.

well done georgie my man!!! i am 99% sure those are cordoba steelies and with some fiddling you can fit mk1 chrome hub caps like i used to have. do eeeeeeeeettttttt would look sick!

i wouldnt worry with spacers/ camber just whack em on some decent stretch and they would sit up rather nice!

Sorry to kill the vibe, but they are BMW steelies hehehehhee

Well ill see, i've alwyas wanted cambered wheels and that dope/flush sit. I just have to decide on a colour as im going to bunnings tmoro. I think black would look sick however its too common. I've seen a pic with red dished ones and look pretty cool.

I have one more suprise that i've been doing over the past few weeks.. hopefully it will be revealed this weekend

I was thinking of chucking on some crome hubs, however im getting anidized purple wheels bolts which will stick out. Should look sick

[sports racer]

You're going to run purple wheel bolts on gold rims on a red car?

You don't "rent" girls on the side do you?

[JoshFair]

Looking sick as mate! Love wide steelies Sooo much!! Seriously man, I love it.

As you saw i was contemplating the colour of the wheels Because my car is ORANGE, im thinking of keeping the rims simple colour.. therefor the bolts shouldnt be a problem

Was planning to go look for tyres, however it decides to rain like a son of a b*tch haha

Hahaha i've had mine on stands since monday too. I need to find tyres. Asked around and a guy said i couldnt stretch a 175/60 on a 8" and said i should look for 65 instead. LOL ?

And i have decided to paint them white.

Well i was at bunnings today, and saw fluro red. It looks crazily good, but was out of my budget after all this spending haha.
Oh and as a matter of fact i have finished my other little project i have got going everyone. Will post some pics up tmoro, i hope everyones mind is blown by it as i've wasted alot of time on it ahaha.
