Jamesy Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 Had Nick from N-Tyre fit the wheels - he certainly knows his stuff and was very careful and knowledgeable - would recommend to anyone locally around sussex/kent/surrey Few pics i had before it got dark... will take better tomorrow hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DARETT Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Car looks amazing! The wheels really suit it. Great job all round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Wow James. They look even better on the car than I thought. Absolute p*rn The rears look really close to the arch. Go easy in the snow with these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 That's looking amazing Jamesy. True stunner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Go easy in the snow with these Don't go anywhere near the snow - they'll corrode really quickly. You can put wax over the rims, but I doubt it'll stop it for long. Better to have a set of winter wheels IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 thanx guys - i am absolutely chuffed with them - the rears are very close to the arch - when it gets lowered this week we'll see how much!! But my cars need to be slammed im afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can put wax over the rims, but I doubt it'll stop it for long. Better to have a set of winter wheels IMO. I've treated the wheels twice with the poorboys treatment wax Stonkin recommended - but to be honest i wont be taking it out in bad weather - i've got an old Vectra to mess about in over winter The only thing i want to do is get the wheels covered - my car cover leaves about 3" exposed of the bottom of the rim and i dont want the dish filling with water!

Jamesy Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 That last pic is a beauty!! Hiya Mark, how u doing? thanx a lot - really pleased how the new wheels turned out. I've just bought some Yokohama 315 tyres fro the rear now to help with more traction Will be going in to have the rear JDL arches blended in at some point over the winter so i can slam the car back down again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 Bloody hell mate, i thought my one was quick yours must be a monster! well done yours is probably more driveable with more traction though mate Hoping the new 315's might help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 ok got my new front tyres on - 245/40/18 Mich Sports.... much better now only a small stretch!!! Also got bought a meaty set of these Beauties!! Yokohama A048-R 315/30/18 i'm guessing when they go on i'll def be needing the JDL arches? does going up from a 295 to a 315 mean it will stick out 10mm front and 10mm at the back of the wheel? so only 10mm further out towards the arch than it currently is ....
