Nimminz' LSD GLT Daily - Part1

[Nimminz]

cheers 195/50s it be. i've just sold a set of 4 brand new ones

[magnumpi]

They are mx5 alloys off of the Mk2 i think
Edit: yep, see here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File: ... -green.jpg


They look good on the car, and i think the tyres look just about right. I take it you just want thinner rather than smaller profile, as less profile = bigger arch gap.

Edit x2: Nope they aren't MX5 after all, as the they have removeable center caps, yours don't, the style is very similar so maybe they are rep's?

[Nimminz]

cheers, The mx5 one look a tad thinner too. beefed up reps maybe. Thinking now of doing silver dish and graphite centres

and yeah but the 185/60 14 tyres i have on the leos atm. have a smaller overall diameter than these 195/55 15s. Could they just be rubbing because they are under inflated? I might try putting some air in then refitting them. They don't rub what so ever at the back

[Nimminz]

getting some 195/50s fitted all for £40

If they still rub at the front some spacers might be in order

Might also have a whack at welding the peco Big bore 2 backbox on (like theo has on his) If i've got enough spare pipe/time/wire/pateince/dry weather/space/motivation/red bull supply haha

edit: found what the wheels are off:



Mazda mx-3

Like the stcker man, that looks class.

Not a fan of those rims though.

[Evoman]

nimmiz, that sticker looks awsome, I wanna do that and carry it on over the boot!

[jon-ovlov]

Rims no, sticker YES!! That looks fantastic!

[Evoman]

Nimmiz, I spoke to a mate about sticker, he reckons he'd be able to do it for £40. I really love how retro it looks

[Nimminz]

no-one like my rimz

I do, they are getting sprayed black with silver rim/dish or possibly polished if i can be bothered. Got me new tyres £40 fitted still rub the tinyest bit so 3mm spacers tomorrow for free

I can get the sticker done for free mate but ta anyway

While i was waiting to get tyres...







new rims





I really like them, ok i'd prefer 15x7 leos.... But these feel nice to drive on and once refurbed i might persuade yous

Thanks for looking!

[MCHUDD]

Hi mate.
Every man to his own and good luck with the rims. However i would stick with
the Leos, more class.
Cheers Mark.

[Speedy88]

Not as cool as the leos but I actually quite like them, remind me of porsche 997 wheels

[volvosneverdie]

Love your car man. Im glad you didnt ship it in the end.

Needs wind deflectors though............. Just my opinion.

[Nimminz]

cheers! yeah wind deflectors deffo, anywhere i can get them or just ebay?

Soooooo glad i didn't get rid, only car i'd be tempted to change to now is a 480 (maybe just cos ive seen one) but nar need me RWD
