They weren't banded steels. The were Wellar Steels.

I like its new wheels, just look strange at first after looking at it with tiny 13's on. Loving the ghetto camber

hey mate, the car was looking good at trax, i was parked next to u on the stand.

the camber of the back wheels were insane, but all round different look. the wheels did look odd on ur car cos used to the 13's but at the same time looked ace. keep up the good work!!!

cheers guys

and well it's official, I really despise the new wheels, they just aren't as 'special' as the old wheels and I want them back

Its a shame that tax mot insurance runs out at the end of september and it needs quite a bit of work and I have little money so I may sell these new wheels aswell

You can just about see the camber here





you can also see the camber on the front, about 1.5 degrees on front and 3-4 on the rear

the new rims would look better with stretched tyres and the centres/centre caps done in blue or something.

depos would look good too

I don't think I've missed the answer here - what wheels are the new ones?!

As everybody else has said - old wheels look better. Camber @ Trax was & but it just didn't look right compared to the old ones.

Also, seems a bit too mixed of 2 themes - rat look and shiny - Not sure if it works yet
