    Multi fitment's = sad panda.

    What brand are they?
    Hopefully they don't break or cause problems.

      Yes I know, but there are not many wheels nowadays that aren't multi fitments, especially four stud.

      They are KING wheels, an ADVAN rip off, they actually have ADVAN Sport written on them, to.

      17 x 7, 205/40

      Why would they brake???

      Next thing is to lower it.. I think...

          Multi-fitments are generally copy/fake wheels made by a non reputable company (i.e. i have never heard of king wheels but i have seen that design before)
          So the quality of the origianl wheels that these are designed from is not translated to the copy.

          May not br4ak but also may not be suitable for the car.
          I have heard of a few multi-fit wheels that have caused owner's prblems with plastic locater rings etc.


          Hopefully your's have no issues though as they look interesting.

            I think they look pretty good, a nice colour.

            Would look nice lowered.

            The wheel whores with there real wheels are going to hate on the "fake wheels" but whatever haha

              who cares, as long as your happy

              i dont think youll have problems with them breaking..... unless you race your car or put the wheels under very very high stress......

                That's my vote.


                I might photoshop that up later.
                Photoshop it and I might just consider it... But why would I powdercoat the wheels black when they are nice the way they are haha. Lowering is definatly the next thing.

                  Not my cuppa tea but as long as your happy with them mate
                  17s are hard to pull off on a MK3, especially when its sitting to high and the offsets are so poor...

                    I like the colour coded door handles and it looks nice that low, although it would be a pain that low as there are a series of speed bumps that lead up to where my house. It needs to be lowered but just maybe not that much. As for the black wheels, I think I'll stick with what I just got haha, but they do look good matte black as well. Maybe down the track if they get chipped. Oh and I only just realised you got rid of the pin stripe??? I was actually going to take the one thats on there off and go with somthing different. Maybe a thin black or even red again. Idea's are much appreciated!!! Thanks guys

                      Mate looking good, as far as the pin stripe is concerned.... IMO ditch asap and stick with the clean euro look, pin stripes belong on FALCODORE'S

                        Love Advans! oh wait.... it's an awesome design which is why they're copied To make up for the lack of offset, I have some 30mm spacers kickin around that you can use if you want; You'll need two more though unless you want a mad crazy staggered look just lower, joey the headlights, paint the wing mirrors and remove that pin stripe

                          I'd go as above, but also paint the rub strips black and continue it on the bumpers for a textured bar look. Contrast is good

                            I was thinking of going slightly staggered, the front track is actually wider than the rear already so was thinking of putting thicker spacers on the rear than the front. What type of spacer are they? Bolt on or just a plate? I might hit you up on them once I get paid.
