[Micra 110]

[superls]

[MarchR]

[superls]

[Arnold]

They're pretty cool. Bargain price too!

 

[sonic]

im in two minds wether do paint the outer lip red, (same colour as the car).

Just a 6mm pinstripe would look good.

 

[superls]

1

2

cheers scott

 

[ollyc98]

Option 3: inside the rim where the 'spokes' meet the rim.

Like this (don't get too upset that my drawing is better than yours):

 

[Speedle]

option 1 mate! they look proper cool!

 

[Arnold]

Option 1

 

[joesouthgate]

yer deffo No 1

 

[Micra 110]

No 1 looks cool! there's a bit of overspray...top right hand corner, 1st pic... lol!

Superls, if your wheels are still in your Car i'd remove them, someone round our way had some nicked...the weird thing is that he had mentioned it on a forum and a few days later the whole lot were gone including 3 new Tyres....tread carefully....no pun intended

 

[ollyc98]

Locking nuts lol.

 

[superls]

well i went agains the majority jote , on my way home from work i stopped off at auto suplies anf got some 3mm red pinstripe and this is what i have come up with,

but im taking off the one in the middle i reckon i only did it as a test.

plus the wheels are safely locked up in me alarmed workshop, cheers for the heads up.

 

[Speedle]

aye take the middle off thats to much but the outside strip looks cracking mate who could of thought standard steels could look so awesome

 

[Arnold]

Everybody said option 1, and you've got option 2 there!

 

[superls]

speedle the middle is now off, well tbh it was only on for 10 mins, lol. i never expected the standard wheels to look so good either.

arnold i did option 2 as it was the easiest to do last night, i still might have a go at option to see what it looks like though.

cheers for the comments guys really apreciate it.

 

[Speedle]

get em on!!!

oh and get some spacers to bring the wheels inline with the arch that'll look awesome!

 

[K10]

I think they look great mate very very impressed

much better than my satin black rattle can effort :laugh:

 

[superls]

another version, the one im sticking with , i think lol.

 

[K10]

they look ace mate! well impressed! :k10:

 

[SammoHung]

despite my browser shafting me....I always thought option 2 was best (the one you chose)......COOOL

I think they look great mate very very impressed

much better than my satin black rattle can effort :laugh:

DUDE your satin black wheels look amaising!!! its the tyres that let it down (no pun intended)

I am inspired to hide some rust now...may be I should breke out te donor car wheels and get spraying....?

 

[Arnold]

Yeah that's quite cool too (red & Blue)

 

[pjg1979]

Superls, you've done an excellent job, what you need to do now is;

Drill 3 holes in your wheel arches on your car, left, top and right. Here you can fit Red LED's which can point towards you nicely painted wheels.

Or Two Red and One Blue so you've got the UK Flag going on.

 

[joesouthgate]

they look really good mate, look like they should have cost a lot more than they did!

 

[superls]

Im Really Impressed With Them, But Im Not Fitting Them Till The New Year Now

 

[Speedle]

awesome! nismo steelies lol! looks proper cool mate

 

[ash 101]

Very nice i like the red stripe and the nismo touch they look like limited edition wheels.

 

[squarepants]

OMG i want them! they look really good...love the idea with the nismo sticker with the bule and red theme. look awsome!

 

[superls]

how much. lol

 

[squarepants]

lol...nah i love me wheels to much to rid of them for steels

 

[superls]

they wouldnt fit over your brakes, plus i wouldnt sell them anyway i like them too much

 

[squarepants]

i reckon you should get some light weight red wheel nuts they would look the...erm...nuts lol.

 

[slyboogie]

got to say, i've never seen such awesome steelies =) Nice job, inspiring too, i reckon this could catch on with budget build cars! Stick some low profile rubber on =) I see it now, 15" ones, same styling as yours, 195/55/15 tires. Sorted =) and for less than the cost of 1 alloy wheel + 2 tires.

I want some piccies of them on your car now!

 

[daveeeeee]

smoooooooth nice bit o budget modding there. Great stuff!

yer i love budget mods, they're the ones that feel the best when theyre done

 

[RTLKyuubi4]

is the middle 1 banded?

Ryan?

 

[ollyc98]

No it's just facing the other way.

 

[sonic]

They look awesome, you need some really good centre caps now with good badges.

 

[squarepants]

is the middle 1 banded?

Ryan?

it is said that you can fit steels the other way around to dish them! i dont know if that is true or not? if they are weighted up i carnt see there be a problem. worth a try? take her for a spin with them the wrong way around? lol

 

[Napster]

very impressive!!!!! you have done a very good job making those steelies look awesome!!! congrats!!!

at first they reminded me of a 106 rallye! a guy i knew had one! looks really nice all in white imo!

they aren't constructed to work like that, its all to do with the dish on the stud holes being reversed, plus the stress on the studs and the bearings would be immense.

 

[ollyc98]

It can be done on the old minis, cos they weighed nothing. I did it on a fully loaded trailer to fit under new arches and the bearings sheared off sending the wheel flying, luckily stopped by a tree.
