p88bel Posted July 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 whos got rear coil overs???? make etc?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombay-bad-boy Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Finally got my Schmidt lips polished up. They look a treat!! I was over at P88 BELs earlier and saw his Porsche rims on his car. We put both cars in the sunshine = THEY ARE BLINGING!! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> We are going to take more pics when he gets the rear shoe problem sorted out. They look sweet. The only problem is my tyres are rubbing at full lock. They are catching a tiny plastic cover inside the arch so im going to fit some 195x45x15s in a few weeks as im running 50s just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p88bel Posted July 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Heres some pics Ive still to polish up the wheels an nalcken the tiire walls and polish car but no point will get oily hands when on ramps to get rear shoes checked out or bearing whatever it is thats making the racket, Im on the look out for new rear springs or something different for rear as ull see in pics porkers stick out a bit it was too low at first so raised it but the springs wont last too long that they fitted! border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D7 YME Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 (edited) I may have missed this but how much did the stud pattern conversion cost. The rims look nice though. Edited July 11, 2005 by D7 YME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The subtle modder Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 No offence they look well smart but i think the probelem your gonna have with them is the tyres are too big a profile and dont curve in enough but they have damn good rim protectionHow much have these rims cost now then with polishing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
