Probz half people on here won't like them but oh well.

Look good!

Got ATS Cups when we got the Loop but didn't like them - hence they are for sale.

Started to look for Modern Lines, Azev A styles after that but in the meantime got Oz Polaris as a temporary wheel...and have to say I love em!

Think your Volcano's will look great too...

Slapped the Polaris straight on running 195/50/15 no rub at all and they are 15x7 ET37

Had 165's on the Cups when first got them - Bridgestones - and gave really good grip even with stretch.

I would suggest that if grip, ride noise and quality are key for you and you travel a lot then invest in a better brand than Nankang - IMO they are sh*te

Hope this helps...

Did you need any spigot rings? and thanks for help Curly :)

No - BUT cant say for sure if they were already on - dont think they were - if you need them £1.50 a go from ebay . Measure the center bore on your volcano's should be 57.1 if its not ie its bigger then you need spigots...

165/50 on a 7j and your saying he will get much better grip????

The wheels are et37, it doesnt even need stretch tbf

Nope I'm saying a decent branded tyre will give much better grip than a nankang...width difference vs performance on lupo I would think is negligible - thats down to personal taste stretch vs straight vs balloon...

Looks like some Uber camber!!! Have you tried your car bodycolour for center and a polished lip?

stay away from outrageous colours, cars bright yellow as it is. No need for any more bright colours!

turn those wheels upside down from how they are now on that photoshop, it looks all wrong.

Choice has been made Porsche graphite metallic :)

I know the photoshop is horrible that was the only picture of wheels I had.

Can't wait I will upload some picutres when I get everything sorted.
