   As above, what do you think these would look like on my car? Only thing holding me back really is thinking they may look a bit small and thin as they are only 6j so not sure im gonna get a very good overall look.
   
   
   
   Thoughts/feelings/opinions please guys

   Imo these would look wicked on your car mate. They're very Euro looking, similar to the BBS RM wheels.
   
   Shame about the depth of them but if they're cheap you could always get them banded at a later date if you're not happy with how they look.
   
   Would look the dogs if you sprayed them white.

   erm no he couldnt
   banding alloys is an epic failiur
   
   there not a bad rim but check the pcd et and bore size as youll most likely need adapters ect
   
   at least there 4 stud is a start lol
   
   as for width lee_vtr1 is currently on 6j steelies so you can make them look pretty good man

   Old Porsches are 4x108 IIRC, well you can get the odd Porsche wheel if you are lucky!

   the wheels are 4x108, 6jx15H2.
   
   I like them and think i could make them look good but only thing holding me back is that i think i will be disappointed once fitted as there is not rim and they may look really narrow.

    yes as said old porchse wheels are 108 pcd, think u the centre bores are bigger so u need spigot rings though. As said everyone seems to think 6j is quite narrow, when in fact its the same width as a VTS wheel. The ones I where looking at where the same offset aswell. Didnt buy them straight away 6.5" dished porsche wheels for £200!

    Aa alex said, u band steel wheels, not alloy. Yes it is possible anythings possible with the enough money BUT knowone will ever do it, as its very expensive, hard to get right, doesnt look all that great, etc. May aswell just get some 3 piece split rims!
