I'm thinking camber, maybe it needs adjusting to pull in a bit as it's set at 0 at the moment, not sure what it should be, but camber should be set slightly negative IIRC.

the idea of euro wheels is that they are wide though


You're right...

and its the darkness of the car that makes the polished come off so nice...

But pip i do think they needa mirror polish up..

i really like the new wheels but i dont think they suit the colour of you car mate for some reason,i think if you wanting to change you wheels try and stay vauxhall but still have them done in the anthracite as it suits the car right down to the ground IMO.

Phil was on about that when he was dropping me home last night. Was too drunk to listen really, so what are they?

new wheels are f*kn gorgeous. remember peeps they arnt exactly the best of pics either.

camber shims are basically tapered spacers that allow you too adjust the camber on the wheels too bring it in. doesnt look that good imo but if thats what makes the wheels fit then do it.
