Best wheels for a K10?

[Mark]

After having my wheels for some time now i am quite bored of them and what to change them for a different set, I was thinking of a set of Fox 3 wheels and getting the painted black as i do like white cars with black wheels,

I also thought about having some nissan wheels on but with the lack of choice i'm having trouble finding any i like, I would ideally want 14" nissan wheels on 185/50 tyres, or 15's on 195/45, 13's are definatly too small and are a no no

basically how escort rs turbo's mainly have the standard wheels and so do other cars of this type i would like some nissan wheels which would look like they came with the car.

can anyone help?

p.s incase anyone has forgotten/doesnt know what my car looks like i have attached a picture

go for 14's in any of the rota wheels.

Do an online search for stockists, very light weight and some decent looking styles.

Nice car mark!

Are you gonna sell the old wheels? :glance:

Im thinking of just getting some new hub caps... don't know what im looking for in alloys and they seem quite expensive...

 

[Mark]

yes my current wheels are for sale, there 15" and have good tyres on them. i want 150 ono for them

 

[Turtle]

Does getting different sized alloys screw up the speed dial? 15" seems alot bigger to me, im worried they will look odd on my car... did you have your suspension altered?

I have monroe dampers and spax springs,
the tyres are only 45's so the wheels are overall not a lot bigger, look in the pictures thread in the k10 general section as i have posted pictures before i lowered the car,

anyway back on topic, I've seen that K12's have 15" alloys, wounder wot they would look like on a k10?

are 160 sr alloys 15" or 16"?

k12 alloys wont fit the k10 mate differnet fitment

 

[Mark]

[Arnold]

Nope, the PCD is different. 4x107/108.. something like that

U should keep your current wheels and spray them black, they suit the car. How did you get it so low with 35mm springs, it looks more like its lowered 50mm!
