Ramirez Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Sounds good but, 13"s on only a `40-50` drop will look lost in the arches, and it will be very expensive to band them as the amount of work involved is great. (correct me if Im wrong but i also think its illegal to band in the uk now) Why dont you if you want to keep costs down look at some G60 steels intead?

Blue Loop Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 13's will be too small with only 50mm drop. If you fit low profile tyres you'd need something like an 80mm drop IMO for the car to look good. A different thing would be getting 7x14 or 8x14. With 195/45/14 tyres you'd be ok with a 70 / 60 mm drop. FK do a set of spring for the Lupo that lower that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubya Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Weller wheels do belted steels. They're multi fitment, but cheap as chips. Top quality too, and in a range of sizes. Don't Mince about using OEM steel rims, get proper ones :wink: Clicky... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
