VeeDubber Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 (edited) Got my lupo begining of feb and spent the last 2 months scraping some cash together lol. Now i can finally do it up a bit.Got these of eBay and travelled 100 miles to pick them up, but thinking it will be worth it: border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />They at the re-furbers now and should get them back on thurs. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />That's what they should look like when i get them back Edited June 25, 2007 by VeeDubber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vworks41 Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Look good, what make and size are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeeDubber Posted May 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 They called Ronal R15's and came of a BMW E30 apparently. They 15"x7", want a bit of stretch on the tyres, will 175 or 185 be better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyP Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Nice set of wheels mate!I would recommend 165/50/15 for the ultimate strech! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeeDubber Posted May 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Yeah was gonna get a certain set of mk1 golf steelies but the seller ripped me of lol.That's the thing I dont want a ridiculous amount of stretch, just enough to notice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Nice wheels I thought they were Ronal Classics.Our old Polo Genesis had a set of these in 13".I now regret changing them for the Oz Saturns (which were in better nick) when I got rid of my Polo GT. The saturns are in the garden, the Ronals are...???Not sure about the colour coding, but hey! it would be boring if we were all the same!Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max69vk Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 The colour coding makes them look like Momo Ferraris style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wub:" border="0" alt="wub.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeeDubber Posted May 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 I was a bit unsure bout colour coding, but took the dive and went for it. Wanted something a bit different from the usual silver alloys.Bit confused bout this tyre stretched business, my local tyre dealer says the only 175 or 185 width tyres you can get have a 65 sidewall. Am I gonna have to go to a specialist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picola Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 They'd look alot better on a slammed GTi, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealthie Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Yup, Needs lowering.Looking like a good project though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vworks41 Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Looking good, would look tons better lowered though!!A vw badge for the centers would finish the wheels off nice style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyp Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 defo needs slamming, nice to see something different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardaft Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Really like the grill, are you leaving it black, i think it looks great as it is, and i like the little 1.0 badge too, did that come with the grill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeeDubber Posted June 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Was gonna colour code the grill but now i not so sure. There was an ATB badge on the grill but I put the 1.0 badge on when i got it, thought it'd be a bit querky and it doesn't have the performance to deserve an ATB badge lol.Planning on lowering it next, any ideas how low it can go?
