Been toying with diffrent wheels on the GSI, ive got a set of Irmscher rims sat here, 14s and mirror polished, what do people think? I'd need to remove my willwoods to fit them :eek: and replace with 16v items for now, purely as Im thinking euro is the way ahead for 2007 so wheels and my car below, they are the same as my old spider as below but they are 15s on that, I have a set of 14s, would result in being mega low :thumb: opinions please.

Yeah do it definatly.

I was running 14s on mine with coilovers on the front and a 90mm drop on the back.

Was a low rider and looked the tits...

Hmmm depends.. do you really rate the wilwoods as being fantastic??? Or do you just want to create the ultimate euro show car???

I want to be diffrent breaks are mint. But want it to be diffrent more importantly over how well it stops 16v items would suffice

Euro is cool, but skinny 14's with propably monster tyres doesnt fit the bill

You bought Rob Delicatas old car then?
Yeah, bang on the Irmschers & fit some euro stretched on tyres.

I reckon it'd need an early tailgate with no spoiler or grab handle myself.

Any car with a bit of "euro" styling can look uber-cool.

Done a quick photoshop for you mate, looks good, I lowered your car abit more too, so as to give the impression its sitting lower on smaller rims.

Hope it helps you make a descision!

they would look mint on i think...and if u dont like them theres no harm in changin' back 2 the old setup..

There not gonna look that good tho are they, cos the wheels are miles smaller in reality!!

Hmm, wouldn't class the irmschers as "euro" imo. Fit the irmschers to your new spider and get some et5 borbets 7by 14 at the front and 8by 14 at the rear, and streeeetttttttcccccchhhhhhhh some 185 dunnies or similar (175s) over them. I've been toying with the idea myself on my own nova, but i'd need coilovers and archmods, but i think the result would be well worth it. All depends on how much you love your standard bodywork Lol!!! Was yours the gsi on the jov stand at the nec classic car show?
