new wheels - what do you reckon?

[drsmith1979]

these are the new wheels im putting on my williams! test fitted them today but the tyres are just too wide so getting some thinner and lower profile ones, just wanted to know what people thought? i had bought them with the idea of painting or having them powder coated gold but having looked at the car with them black i kinda like it! haha

[drsmith1979]

pro 1.2's if anyone was wondering lol

[Foz]

I think it looks ace mate

very nice, what size are the tyres that are too wide just out of interest?


do they rub on the arches?

[drsmith1979]

thanks for the comments, im really coming round to the black look, think it actually goes very well with the blue coachwork.

The tyres are 205/45/16's and are great on the back, they just catch the front wings right on the outer lip, doesnt help the car is pretty low anyway. The tyres fitted are kumho's and in good nick, for sale if you want them! haha

haha cheers martin, are those 15's?

[drsmith1979]

also an added dilema, do i paint the calipers? gold or lambo yellow, personally i think it would look good against the black wheels. anyone got pics of painted calipers on a willy?

[northy]

i like it mate.....nice choice of rim

i would paint the calipers black imo - unless they are really fancy ally ones ?

[drsmith1979]

errrrr they are the standard ones so im presuming they are simply cast? did some photoshopping with lambo yellow! looked quite good actually! lol but if i ever went back to gold they would look fairly crap lol maybe go for silver? but as you say, black would be stealthy so look cool! you not want some HT leads northy! only need one more! :D

[northy]

painted calipers - should be body colour or black imo. But having said that 0171 and my cup cars rears are silver.

im ok on leads unortunalty. Why dont u buy a spare set lol.
