both of those before lowering Deano.

First one definitely had 185/55/15 tyres though, not sure on the second.

Will find one with 195/45 before lowering if I can

195/45/15's, Uniroyal Rainsports.

About 4mm of tread on two, and 6mm on the other two.

Tom, another thing

How different is the grey colour to the standard 'black' trim. Has your trim been sprayed?

Deano, compare the first picture in this thread to this:



Both were on standard suspension, with 185/55/15 tyres.

sits a bit higher than my sport, but probably no different to your current wheels.

My trim is standard colour, just a lot of back to black on them.

Go on Deano, ask for money towards them for xmas!

I'm sure you can, ask the missus and parents nicely

Rather than doing the usual xmas -

'What do you want Dean?'
'Not too sure really Mum.'
'Oh, ok, I'm sure I can get you something.'

You end up with some useless crap like socks and books, or at the very best things you don't particularly want.

Go on, you know you want to

Cheers Ste, that actually looks pretty good!

I'm sure the car would actually sit closer to the ground than that though, wouldn't it?

shouldn't be any diff, as the rolling radius, should be the same as the 13's if on 195/45's

I've already had my freeride bike for Christmas, so not getting anything from the parents, and the missus can't afford much this year.

I am seriously interested though because of the grip left on the tyres.

My 13's aren't on 195/45's. They are 165/70's

Yes Deano, Ste means if the SXI rims are on 195/45's, then the rolling radius would be the same on them.

Ahhh I see, so won't look any different just didn't want it to look like it was on stilts

I am sooooo tempted but £200 is a lot of money to me.

I will think about it tonight
