bmx1lew Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I am changing the wheels, there currently for sale in the for sale section, i am thinking of getting some stern st2's in chrome... think they will suit the car? here they are on a mustang. stern st-2's http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forums/attachments/2005-mustang-gt-tech/8684d1118761973-my-05-gt-kitted-dropped-p1010091.jpg or stern st-5's http://www.mustangforums.com/archive/threads/20-inch-stern-st-5s-for-sale-w-toyo-tires-05-3318083-1.html I really cant deside what wheels to go for, i usually hate chrome but for some reason i really like these, i dont want to spend too much but i can get them pretty cheap from the usa, for any one who has not seen my car here it is, any recomend me some wheels or photoshop's would be great! I think with the car colour wheel choice is quite har either that or i'm too picky.. and to top it off my lass thought my current axis milanos are standard wheels! Lew.

jevansio Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Lew, your wheels suit the car perfectly, if anything I'd drop the car a little, it will transform the looks IMHO, def no need for new wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx1lew Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 well i want to go to 18's rather then 19s also i dont think i can lower it with my exhaust, the apexi gt is 4" fat and hangs low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Good reason for changing wheels, many will argue 18s are the better choice. I have trouble with my 4" pipe catching everywhere I go too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 is yours lowerd? I wasn't on about the car. Joking , mines got coilovers on now, so the ride height is adjustable, the only time it catches is when I get on my drive or when I'm on a really spirited run, I reckon at the minute the front is lower than stock, but the back is closer to stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx1lew Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 are you running 18s i want to drop to 18s but cant find any wheels apart from them stern ones above.. as i said i usually hate chrome but for some reason i love these.

jevansio Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 No I'm on 19's, whether your's on 18's or 19's your car will be the same distance off the road if you keep your tyres to the same rolling radius (the only thing that changes is handling characteristics).

bmx1lew Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 only at tescos in dragonsvill i dont no why but the idiots put a speed bump in the petrol station! its a tiny speed bump one of them plastic ones yet every time i hit my back box off it, if i go slow my back wheels spin on it because its supper slippery and if i give it a little more power to get over it i end up hitting the back box.. i've never had trouble like this on a speed bump before, maybe because it is new who knows, I'm ok when reversing over it!
