Joti Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Well I went to get tyres on today, only to find that the fronts were not clearing the caliper - so I need some 5mm spacers.Only place I could find where I could get them on the day was Halfords, and I didn't really want to get their spacers as they are not hub centric.So I've ordered some Eibach ones online and need to get some longer bolts too. Rears were fine as I have 15mm spacers on there already.So the wheels are in my garage at the moment, not on the car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joti Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) Like a fool I braved the elements at 0730 to finally get these wheels on Will still be keeping my other set, and just swapping them over when I fancy a change of look..... Rota Grids are still available in the all-gold finish, but this polished lip variant is now discontinued, and it was that factor that influenced me going for them to be honest, because I like to be different Oh, and I just realised, I've owned the Lupo now for 9 months to the day! Hope you like...... Edited November 21, 2012 by Joti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lupo-Joe Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Nice work as usual sir, however i feel a small amount of camber on the rear would make them sit nicer. Thats just my opinion tho!Keep it up,Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) I think another 10mm drop would make them sit nicer They're farkin lush though Joti Edited November 21, 2012 by Koop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice work as usual sir, however i feel a small amount of camber on the rear would make them sit nicer. Thats just my opinion tho!Keep it upCheers Joe, not a good day for cleaning today though! I think another 10mm drop would make them sit nicer They're farkin lush though Joti Thanks Koopster, but no more lowering - I've already dropped the 40 (age, not millimetres) love it....Thanks Piers, but not as nice as a set of Merc Eltanins, huh? Good choice mate paid off!P.S. they're pretty shibbyCheers Joe. Yes they are shibby, especially over sleeping policemen..... BUMP! worth the wait Jot! how much did they set you back with tyres, if you don't mind me asking?Thank you! Well the Toyo (195/40/R16) tyres were £300, but I had to also pay for the wheels, shipping from the USA and import tax.... Very nice Joti, good choice and different from the norm too!Thanks Alex - that was the desired result! Big yes from me! the gold & polished goes lovely with the redCheers Rowan, your wheels are mega too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp3nny Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 so you're looking at like £800? are you going to run them over winter or is this just a trial fit? they are very nice, bet they look 100x better in person as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
