I know this is unlikely but would anyone be selling their Calibre Dub alloys? If not, would anyone know where to get them second hand as they're too expensive brand new Cheers Chris

I've just recently bought my first vw lupo it's a 2000 make. I'm new to everything cars & mods but I'm keen to get my ride looking fresh! I'm starting with alloys. My lupo is black so I'm considering either gold or black (with a hint of black) does anyone have any suggestions or links? Any other modification suggestions would be great to.

Hi everyone. Need a little advice with tires, I'm working on buying my first set of alloys but i'm not sure what size alloys and tires would be best. I don't want to have to roll my arches but i intend on going a bit low, i was thinking something like 15x7/7.5 with 195/45/15 tires, but i want a small amount of stretch. can anyone recommend a good combination? thanks very much all.

Whats up everyone, I've decided on the wheels that I want, I'm going for a set of silver Axe EX8's 15" x 8". My problem though is tyre's. I don't know the first thing about stretching so i wanted to know what size tyre would go well with a nice amount of stretch, I'm thinking 195/45/15. Has anyone got any pics of something simlar? Like 1j thinner than the wheels? Any help is appreciated! Thanks everyone!

Hey Forum, I have just purchased a Volkswagen Lupo 1.4 E 3DR AUTO 2003 after having my first car written off. I am looking to do a couple of modification such as Alloys, Tints, Lowering, Sticker Bombing ect... Could you give me some ideas, and supply some links to items. Please note I have a small-ish budget. Regards Josh

what can I do about the alloys I'm not happy with them at the moment any ideas would be really good.

Hello everyone! Ok, so I have scoured the tinterwebs for days to try and find some alloys for my 01 Arosa, and I really cannot decide... so I thought the simplest idea was to ask for some peoples opinions! Heres my Arosa (imagine it lowered) I kind of like the idea of banded steels or g60's just because of the price you can pick them up for but if someone can point me in the right direction for some alloys with width of them, it would be amazing. I will be selling my arosa alloys too, once the new ones have been purchased. I have looked around and the alloys on the car already don't come around very often, so if someone's interested let me know! (all new tyres) Thanks! Joel.

Hi help! I want to change from five stud wheels to four stud wheels, what would be the best way? Would VW Lupo/Polo hubs fit straight onto VW Fox ones?

Hi guys, basically seen some arosa alloys going cheapish and well my wheels are in a pretty bad state not sure even how to clean this as can see by picture below.. so was wondering what you guys thought of maybe some White Arosa alloys on my Red Lupo Sport.... Cheers., Tom

Right so i bought my self A set of, Cades eros alloy wheels for my 1999 vw lupo 1.4 16 v Here they are: they are 15" x 6.5, 100 x 4 with et 30. the issue i'm having is actually with the front wheels. when the wheels are mounted to the front they actually hang over the bell and have actually ground the pads and the inside of the wheels away. Why this is happening I don't know. it has me absolutely baffled. Measurements have been took of the pads and the discs and everything are the sizes that they should be. any advice would be appreciated. Thanks guys

Hello, im new to the forum and have just purchased my first car which is a red standard mk 1 r reg arosa and was just wondering what rims you'se would recommend as im a bit stuck for choice. Im into the 'dub' and 'euro' look at the moment and wondered if you could help. My budget it around £0-£500 mark but cheapest would be good. Thanks

hey guys, i'm brad, I'm a manager at subway and this is my lupo, his name is mikey! He is a 1.4l 75bhp version! He has a supersport custom exhaust system, with GTi injectors + inlets with a bmc cda air filter with blue piping! The car did come with coilovers when i bought it, but sadly the shocks were blown + were rusted in place! Thats when i got it home and cleaned it for the first time! I didnt like the snowflakes, so i got some steels, but these were temporary, so the snowflakes came back! at the local lupo meet! Then a tyre blew up, so space saver for a while until i got paid! sadly the bumper had been in a fight with someone so it looked like this for a while Engine shot.. (now all covered up) As the bumper was ruined i thought, why not have some fun and learn some stuff about body filler and what not! The bumper was yellow and the black had been spray painted on so was chipped off when stones hit it so it took quite a bit of work! Getting there! Not a great finish i know but Interior for a while Got to painting interior parts (they were signal green) Then i loved it, so thought snowflakes too - as you can see the car is a 4x4 at the mo as im waiting to lower it again! Then got to using a cheap machine polisher and some meguiars... A Little tease for the next few days Hope you like

Hi I have a Lupo 1.4 16v sport and i'm looking to have a play and pretty it up a bit! A guy at work is looking to get rid of some Golf 4motion wheels for cheap, I've looked into PCD adapters - 4x100 to 5x100(15mm spacer) and tyres - 185/55 R14 to 195/40 R16 to keep my speedo in check. First off will 16s go on a non GTi? I've seen mixed threads on this, some say yes some no... And i'm unsure of how much to lower it by once the wheels are on, if they fit. I'm not looking to slam it, I just want to get the wheels tight into the arches so the car doesn't look like its on 16" stilts!! any help would be great. cheers.

I am looking to swap my current wheels off my 1.4s for some steels. These are mine. good condition with good tread. The are 14" Im looking for some 14" steel wheels with good tyres and cash my way (offers of around £100 i think is fair) as there really isnt anything wrong with these i just want the steels for an experiement. If however you would like to just buy these off me then im open to offers. Ill take better pictures and get more info about tread etc when i get home. Thanks, John
