Nic Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 What width do the overfenders add? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parry_10 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 What width do the overfenders add? The fronts dont give any extra clearance and the rears about 25mm a side I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 nice wheel choice and nice to see your buying the rims to suite the look. Your going to have a lovely car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your going to have a lovely car cheers rob, just cant decide on what colour to go with though, im doing the trial rear lower section and do luck centre in black but not sure on gloss or satin? then I will have to get the wheels in the same so everything matches and do I get ones with the polished lips etc arghh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Definitely go with the polished lip mate Although i dont think those rears will fit on..... my rears are 18x11 et 24 and my arches are 20mm wider and JUST fit! those wheels at 12" wide and et20 will stick out 16mm further out than mine... you might get away with it, maybe with a stretched tyre? Need to know exactly how much wider the rear arches will be to work out properly dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive always liked the polished lip but with those wheels in black and a polished lip I think they might look too much like 'halfords wheels' hmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Polished lip, white centre! Go bold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went black polished lips as a change of look and they look great. I think polished lips in the gunmetal would look awesome against the white, plus you have done black, so have a change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh I know mate, just something about gloss black wheels and a polished lip. Im not keen on them anymore but then I think they will suit the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 GTR-D's are a pukka wheel, nothing like a halfords jobbie mate dont panic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parry_10 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 GTR-D's are a pukka wheel, nothing like a halfords jobbie mate dont panic I think its because halfords and other cheap brands try to make their wheels look like the rotas etc, just dont want to make a wrong decision on the wheels and colour.

Josh Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I think its because halfords and other cheap brands try to make their wheels look like the rotas etc, just dont want to make a wrong decision on the wheels and colour. What about satin black with a polished lip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parry_10 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 What about satin black with a polished lip? If i go satin then I will have to do the rear and front bumper parts in satin to match, im not sure if that will look as good as gloss black with the gloss white paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
