LCR Wheels

[richybigman]

What do you guys rekon to these wheels on a platinum grey LCR?

 

[Phil K]

Think I prefer the standard rims tbh but wouldn't say I dislike them either! Will they clear the Brembos or would you need a spacer in there?

 

[richybigman]

Don't know yet if they'll clear the Brembo's, i just saw them on a website and thought they'd look pretty good. Obviously i'd check if i did order them.

 

[richybigman]

Just looking for opinions really.

I like them, but as mentioned I do like the standard one's too.

I've done a quick dodgy photoshop:

What do you think?

 

[longman]

Difficult decision..... You definitely wouldn't be doing a bad thing putting them on. That does look nice.

I agree with above though, the LCR STD wheels do look really nice anyway!

 

[Cupraloon]

Those wheels look ace in the chop, but as above i also really like the standard lcr wheels, and if i had an lcr certainly wouldn't change them, IMHO...

 

[name__taken]

As with the others above, i quite like them but for me at least, they don't offer any significant improvement over the standard wheels. Clearly though you aren't so keen on the std set (cuz you wanna change 'em!) so with that in mind, you could do far worse than those...

Interesting as stand alone im not too impressed but in photo shop dont look too bad.

I personally am looking at just getting the standards P.P.C'd

 

[richybigman]

I do like the standard wheels alot but fancy having something different. Nearly all LCR's have the standard wheels on, plus these wheels would be a little easier to clean

Also i like the Gunmetal colour

 

[G2232]

You not looked into getting the standards finished in a gun metal grey?
Might be cheaper than buyin all brand new ones

The problem i find is that i feel there are not enough aftermarket wheel around that look better than standard alloy or replica's from othe vag cars.
But thats just my opinion, some day i may get proven wrong

 

[richybigman]

The wheels are only £375 without tyres

 

[Cupraloon]

Can't remember who owns it, but there was a pic of a red lcr on here a few weeks ago, with g/m painted wheels, that looked really good, so on a grey car would look the dog's doodahs

 

[Cupraloon]

Found it.....

Ever considered body coloured that would look good on the grey lcr... IMO

 

[kerrbryan]

My opinion is that they would (like other wheels in that colour) be better on a red car. Every1 to their own though!

 

[richybigman]

They do look good. Might have to look at getting mine done then. Anyone know somewhere southampton/portsmouth way that does alloy refurb and painting?

 

[kez]

mmm....they look nice. mine need refurbing, so may get them done gunmetal.

 

[G2232]

i have had that plan in my head for a while now but not been able to justify doing it yet as nothing really wrong with them

Plus i can prob get them done cheaply anyway as i can strip them and treat them my self and work for a company that gets stuff P.P.C all the time

The laquer is peeling on mine also. I just waiting for the powder coaters to get the Anthracite paint in. Been quoted £250 for a ride in out service. Will be without the car for a few days though. Also won't have to pay for these new rear tyres to be fitted now
