Keskin fan ey? Can't wait to see the Image wheels, was just looking on their site yesterday.

[taylor]

[BAZ8465]

Seen your mates car outside work today - Those wheels are nice..........

[calletson]

In pic 2 is the car lower on the left??

[boghouse]

Car may well have been corner weighted; therefore leaving it higher on the offside; allowing it to run level (side to side) when driver is in the car.

Trouble is your Rab looks just about perfect as it is. Please don't go and wreck it.

[mandarinvx]

Go on then - give us a sneak preview of the wheels you've ordered

[taylor]

wheels will be the only exterior mod that the car will have, standard wheels let the car down imo, they just arnt special enough,

wheels



fingers crossed they will look as good as they do in my head, gone for pretty much same as the standard sizes to maintain the handling

[mandarinvx]

Can't wait to see them fitted

sorry dont like to disagree on this site specially with the opposite sex
i think the wheels are nice got three differents set in the shed and always use the one i like most


nice ansd simple flow very well with the car for me but of course everyone has different s vue of life ......

[Yellow_or_black?]

As Frogster said - each to their own, but as for OE wheelage not being 'special enough' - I don't think blinging spinners were at the forefront of the VX design team's minds when they were putting the VX together...

As Frogster said -

obviously a few people in here are going to be the type that dont like anything non standard, but standard wheels just dont do it for me sorry, ill keep them for winter tho my car is an everday car its my only car and gets driven everyday, its not a track beast and most of the time ill be homnest sits in traffic so i just want to make her look that bit more special, and wheels are my massive soft spot hehe ive gone for custom build, custom sized wheels that cost a fortune as this car deserves no less 5 weeks and counting

Wheels look great and await them being fitted, but imo you are wasting the car if you never track it. It is a great experaince.

Loving the dish though make sure you put a wheel whore sticker on it

[taylor]

I have a pick of cars if i wanted to go on track lol, clios, westfields, strikers etc, id rather not risk my pride n joy knowing me id probably bin it haha

[taylor]

4 WEEKS TILL WHEELS ARIVE YEY

[bletch]

Hooray another Max power car

[VXJON]

Hooray another Max power car

Not a " max power VX" just a unfortunate choice of wheels more " VX but with the handling fcuked up by bling bling nasty ass alloys, but it ok because the macccy D's car park has a smooth surface VX "





Taylor fair play for going custom but personally, I feel you missed the whole point of the vx, its all about the ride not the look
