jon_273 Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 (edited) Thought we would give the wheels a good clean after winter, then we went for a drive and took some pictures.

Philplop Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 (edited) Nice shots.So did you swap wheels buy accident? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />Couldn't tell where the photos were until the last couple. That part of the marina's changed a bit since I was last down there. Edited February 24, 2007 by philip_wilkinson1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got some nice shots thereCheers, although mine isnt too clean, just didnt do any close ups of it style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> . Yeah i really like the SE wheels on mine, they seem to stick out more on my arosa than on Jons Lupo, makes it look fatter lol.Nice shots.So did you swap wheels buy accident? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />Couldn't tell where the photos were until the last couple.

penry Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 At first that confused the hell out of me! Looking good though, are the SE wheels bigger? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> The arosa looks higher...

Looking good though, are the SE wheels bigger? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> The arosa looks higher...Cheers, nope they are exactly the same size and off set, but i think it look wider on my arosa because the hub stick out beyond the rim on the seat wheels. They look set further in on Jons lupo than my Arosa for some reason though.We were thinking it was the other way round, usually my Arosa looks lower than the lupo and my silver arosa is lower again but more at the front style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> very strange.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dblock Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 they look better like that the loop wheels suit the arosa and vice versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Personally I think the Arosa suits the Lupo wheels more than the Lupo suits the Arosa wheels, but thats probably because the centre bit of the Arosa wheels sticks our beyond the wheel rim, making it look like the wheels are disappearing into the arches style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Phil you should have come down. I could have tried on your Bathursts style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> It was a bit confusing though, when we swapped then I said something like "my brakes need painting", at which point Chris reminded me that they were actually his brakes style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
