et33? Criminal.
It's gonna look awesome, can't wait to see it !!!!!!
A Tan Leather interior would just finish it off :) :)
Mates mk1 golf vr6 painted same green as yours (Rio Verde?).....

Tan contrasts it perfectly & gives it a show look ;)
/\/\/\ Nice!
Manta 400 mirrors too.
^^^ that is real nice.
front wheel looks really far back in the arch tho.
165/50/15" By God they'l look minted on it :)
F*** putting XE power down through 165 tyres!
1st dibs on the Revolutions Rick? ;)
Split Rims would look ultra cool - There are custom companies like Image, but you'l be paying a fair amount for Closer offset wheels.

This is my mates mk2 Golf - I'm sure his are one off Customs, If you're interested i could get you some contact details for the company ? Or ask him wether they make any offset.
Yea, Image will make wheels to suit, with as much dish as possible, any width and offset. Got to know what you want/need tho.
That's had a rear ender now. It's Jim Cottons old peach one isn't it!??Quote:

Thing is, the rims width/offset isn't as crucial as the tyres. The wheel itself isn't going to rub the bodywork, only the tyre. The Revo rims I have on now are miles away from the arch (more than 12mm) without tyres on, so I'm confident those new wheels won't touch the bodywork at all. Going for the 30mm smaller width of tyre will give MORE clearance.
Ha ha, it spins up with 195's on, so it can't be MUCH worseQuote:

~Doooooooooooooooooooooooo it!!!!!!!
For show only, do it! and gold centres would satisfy my love for the contrast of gold and that green!
still an awsome car, and glad to see your making it your own mate and not listening to people telling you to leave it as it was

Got some more, but need to upload them from home.

Cheers. New wheels are splitties though, more euro!!Quote:

Well, someone has just thrown a HUGE spanner in the works. Revo RFX's ARE available in split rim, manufactured by IMAGE WHEELS (unfortunately, ?250+vat a WHEEL!) but they are my absolute favourite wheel EVER.
My wife'll divorce me if I buy them, but LOOK AT THE F3CKING THINGS OF BEAUTY!

Imagine, graphite centres! 49mm et, 7x15" with a 165/50/15" stretched tyre!!
That would be mint on it painted up the same as the other Revvie's
That would look lovely!
Get those divorce papers sorted!!!
Only got married in january :confused: :cry:Quote:

A suggestion for you......
On your current wheels, get the outer rim mirror polished & in between the spokes, creating the illusion of wider wheels.
(Maybe some chrome allen bolts drilled & tapped into it)
Then get some wheels spacers to fill the arches better (12mm is too much clearance, you should be ashamed lol)
Some narrower tyres would be cool, more stretch again enhancing the width.
It's a compromise until gettin' the splitties.

Have you still got your old purple Nova mate?
Yep. I'm greedy!Quote:
