Okay so I test fitted Copeyhagen's Weds and as expected they stick out a ridiculous amount, now im thinking of saying fuck all the arch work and just rivet on black wheels arches, what dya think?
Or in the later pics is Robs other wheels, which fit better but il prob need spacers, opinions pls!
Car has camber arms if that makes a diff!!
More pics of the other wheels
looks coool dude. as is.
Get it up to a proper good metal fabricater body shop and get him to do this..

Its act a cream metalic and nobody can match it!!Quote:

Sorry for coming across like a bit of a boring moody fuck here now but these threads are driving me nuts lately!! Why even bother asking what can be done if your not prepared to pay for it?? This place just seems to be full of lads who want "jdm tyte dish y0" and not actually willing to make them fit...
All these pics ye drool over everyday like the wheels just didnt magicially fit!!
Well FJH if i buy them and save up how much work do u think itl take to make them fit?Quote:

it cost me near to 800 euro to make mine fit, but i had to buy camber arms and toe arms. also i had mates rates on the cutting and weldingQuote:

Its why theres so many cars that are fucked. Track set up cars using the roads daily with race specific suspension etc.. No wonder any set of coilovers you see do be leaking. I kind of opened up the can of worms on it there but im just broadening out the facts of the situation that famousjh highlighted above..
Its annoying to see on a daily basis
anyways BOT
Well he says his car is some sort of a pearl so could be tricky...Quote:

panch is just excited at the prospect of a full set of weds on his cefi and wants to get them on!! if i was you i would go with bolt ons.
the spirant chaser was what i wanted to do with my yoke arch wise, but hadnt the heart to ruin the arches, not after someone elses hard work and money and patience went into them im sure.
the weds wont be goin anywhere dont worry, you know the craic with the ssr's though.
Panch, if you want to trial fit those bolt on arches you can borrow mine. At least you can get a proper idea of what they would look like. the wider wheels would look savage but I dont think flaring would make them fit, so weld on arches like that cefiro or bolt on's like the Spiriant Chaser are your only options. Only thing about the bol-on is you could maybe go two tone, save spraying anything on the car...
let me know if you want them to see anyway!
black bolt ons, look mean as fook.
trial fit them with the weds and get a few fotos.
poor panch was boll0xed from puttin on wheels and takin off wheels last night!!
Bolt ons would look tasty, but as Darragh said ya are going to need something as aggresive for the fron to pull it off... do you? maybe i missed something... but go for it... woop :cool:
Thats what I was thinking, black would look cool with the white and chrome. Have a look for pics of the spiriant Chaser with its arches off, talk about butchered!!
Well if he has four wheels, he can also just keep the weds till he gets something to match on the front!
wtf my posts keep dissapearing.
he has the same wheels for the front, he has wed kranze, think theyre 9j with a nice dish and a positive offset.
[QUOTE=Famous jh;221213]Well he says his car is some sort of a pearl so could be tricky...
oh right.. i thought i thought a like a flat white
All my friends do this. They are all 17, and doing soo much to their cars, they just think all this work is just stupidly cheap, they want all this done, and you dare not tell them how much something like it costs... They think people just work for nothing!Quote:

One of them asked, 'does that lad do tyre stretching...'
mini off topic rant over :D
1st of all thanks to Rob, sound lad for letting me test fit every set of wheels he has,
and thanks to Kieran for the offer of the test with arches! Pm'd!!
Thanks to all, and il make them fit!
Get the arches rolled a bit there not too bad
^^^^^
He's way ahead of you
