Take one set of shonky Cesaro wheels, mix with one lazy b'stard who can't be arsed to ever clean them again, et voila.

BTW, anyone who makes comment on the tyre size gets punched in the head with the banhammer :)

Tyres are too big :)

I'll splat the remainder of the satin black over the mirrors tomorrow. I did have some 426 (yes, I know what the paint is now :D) coloured ones but I've had epic issues with painting things. Unfortunately none of my new spazzy bits (doors, bootlid) will be on in time for billing :(

Those wheels suit your car and the tyres are round and could do with some rubber burning off ;)

Paint the mirrors black IMO.

60 lol

40(!!) and 45's would be
1. More expensive
2. Smaller, and thus lose the tyres in the arches
3. Be damned uncomfortable as most of the suspension travel is in the tyre

so :p

[edit] Practicality is the key (why people mod cars and end up making them worse is beyond me lol). And before anyone says "just lower it more", I'm old and don't want to shake my spine apart yet thankingyouplease

That small? I thought they were into the weird profiles that say like 10/15, go on tractors and the like lol

The tyre is roughly the same height as it is wide :)

It has a V6. Araldite won't even make it go round corners.

Educated guess, 60mm-ish - rears are usual jobbers but fronts are RSX coilovers would up as high as they can go. I'm sure the old XE springs were 40mm and that sat a bit higher.
