Alloy choice!!

30th October 2010, 22:41

right ive found 3 types of alloys i like just want people to help me pick
15" Modern lines

15" lenso

13" revolution

30th October 2010, 22:54

Those are Modern Lines and they're over used as are Lenso BSX's and I'm not at all keen on the last ones.

Thought you said somewhere your getting BBSs mate?

30th October 2010, 23:34

I love Revolutions but I think 13"s will be a tad small on a Saxo!

Got to be the lines mate!

The lenso's are BBS rip-off's so you'll just look like a cheap-skate

And the last ones are just nasty tbf! And as said 13" will probably be too small once fitted...

The minilites werent too bad actually...

Trouble is with tiny wheels and massive drop is the arch doesn't line p with the wheel, so the top of the wheel is almost level with the top of the arch but at the sides you've got a 4 inch gap either side, which imo looks shite...

End of the day though mate its your car you do what you thinks best!

Was saying this to another member the other day, don't do what other people like do what you like, thats why we modify...to make it our own and perfection in our own eyes!

This is what i meant above about arch to wheel ratio...

And this is on a 106 whose arches are a better shape than saxo's are they are a continous curve not curve flat curve lol

Now to me the above looks terrible and i'd be ashamed to be near that car let alone own it! But to you euro boys that make look the sex...

Where as this looks the sex imo...

(Have to say that becuase i have the coilovers (and same spec rear parts) from this now so my S will be at the height!

but i've always like thsi look tbh!)

See what i mean about opinions, just because i hate it shouldnt stop you doing it if you like it!

Lines are very nice actually mate i'd have a set! (and i'm not a fan of euro wheels tbh but they are nice!)

Speak to Andyc123 his steelies are stupidly wide and he ran them ok for a while...somethings popped his arches off now but iirc that was his BBS'?
