Thought i'd show off my wheels to you lovely lot,haven'tgot my up! yet but i've spent over £1000 on wheels alone.

I'll start with the 14" winter wheels (left). the alley cats, currently all black and with no tires:

Next is my 15" wheels that may make anappearance at some shows, depends if I can be bothered changing the wheels! currently deciding what colour to spray them, suggestions welcome:

And finally are my good show wheels love them so much! 14" schmidt TH Lines, 8J fronts and 8.5J rears:

Also, i've noticed that the front indicators on the UP! have a weird orange glow when off, has anyone replaced these with clear ones? and can you give me a link please

thanks.

Looking good mate, I fancy those merc wheels!
Swap the indicators for a PY21W Phillips silvervision. Look chrome, flash, amber. Win.

yeah I was actually planning on using the merc alloys, 16" 8J butunfortunatelyone has a massive dent

cheers for the bulbs!

 

[Lambo-27]

have you changed your indicators? hard to do?

 

[Davec86]

Gutted. Schmidts looks rad tho! Looking forward to seeing the finished product bro.

 

[Davec86]

Simple mate, they just twist and pull out, 2 second job.

You will havee to be seriously low to pull off the schmidts and at 8.5j arch rolling/pulling needed. I had them on my old punto in that size!

You simply won't be able to run those Schmidts, the arches on the up! are too big for the Euro look, you need to go big diameter.

If you try running the THs you'll have massive arch gaps when the floorpan is scraping along the ground.

 

[Davec86]

Ye of little faith. It's all going to be sweet, I'm confident if that!

 

[Lambo-27]

Sounds like a challenge... I like a challenge.

At least VW gave us the gift of pre-rolled arches.

 

[Lambo-27]

Pre-rolled? Eh?

 

[Lambo-27]

Quick photoshop of how I predict it'll look

 

[Davec86]

Yes! That's f*cking spanking! Can't wait to see it mate!

 

[shakotanVIP]

Pre-rolled? Eh?

No lips on the rear arches, and only tiny ones on the front.

That does look amazing, but seeing as the sump is the same height as the bottom of the front black plastic lip, you're not going to move very far...

 

[shakotanVIP]

What ET are your THs?

I'm fitting 17x7.5 ET26, and the wheels will poke out of the arches by 10mm, with 195 tyres they'll *just* sit within the arches.

Thanks! And ever heard of a little thing called hydraulics?

 

[Davec86]

Who says it needs to move when it's sat that low? Not every drop is static

I think mine are et 24-26 something similar, might have to get them turned down on a lathe
