August 24, 200917 yr comment_114756 hi mate if i had 5 stud on my cav i would go fof vectra gsi mk2 alloys they are expensive but look mint on a mk2 cav. Report
August 24, 200917 yr comment_114758 no mate the ferrari wheels would be expensive ??? ???LOL very true mate.Im not a big fan if those wheels though dave What would Gordon do? Report
August 24, 200917 yr Author comment_114762 im not a big fan either but i think that they will suit my hearing aid beige cav more than modern wheels, if it was black or red then maybe modern wheels would suit it more.the wheels are £425 on ebay and i think as ive got porsche wheels now then the next step up would be Ferrari ;Di want an old skool wheel, flat not rounded looking, deep dish dont suit it as its fwd not rwd. Banded steels would look nice for a while then id be bored with them plus ive herd that they are illegalwas looking at the omega wheels but they still look a bit modern to me.i also like wolfrace Voodoo but a bit modern looking.plus have you ever seen Ferrari wheels on anything else?i was also looking at shark AMG wheels but toooooo modern, nice wheels thoughBorbet A are a lovley wheel but the dish wouldnt suit the fwd cavAzev A are nice but a bit modern lookingi like the Ferrari wheels as they have a dish, but not to big, they are shiny but not to much (rim only), are squarish looking to suit the saloon lines and are totaly different.i also like the tsw imola and have a set in 4x100 but im going 5 stud.duno really any other ideas??im going to pick the Ferrari wheels up at 2pm today, but if when i get there they dont look great then i wont get them and the search will continue :-\ Report
August 24, 200917 yr Author comment_114763 just had a look at the gsi wheelsna i dont them, bit modern and not my cup of teai never thought it would be this hard to get wheels i like on the beige cav. > >im looking at andys wheels he had refurbished but i think they are a little to modern for the cavcav turbo rims look ok but are a bit 'the norm' nowdayslotus carlton wheels would look fantastic but wouldnt fit unless major cutting was involved (sod that)also i like ATS wheels but can only get them in 15" and i will need 16" due to the brakes Report
August 24, 200917 yr comment_114764 i want an old skool wheel, flat not rounded looking, deep dish dont suit it as its fwd not rwd. I generally find that wheels suit the look of the car rather than where the drive shafts go ;D What would Gordon do? Report
August 24, 200917 yr Author comment_114765 yea your right but i think that flat face wheels look crap on rwd cars and deep dish wheels look crap on fwd cars.but thats mei really like the 8x13 mini wheels but would never have them on a cav even if they were 16" but they look great even though its a fwd carits odd how i see this i know but my mate had voodoos on a manta and they looked shite, i put them on an astra and they looked a lot better.proberly goes back to my mk1 and mk2 escort days, then fiestas hit the seen and had flatter looking wheels.so ive looked at flat fwd and dish rwd Report
August 24, 200917 yr comment_114769 Davedave i mean this in the politest possible way, but how the hell can you decide on a style of wheel for a car by wether its RWD or FWD? Thats one of the oddest statements i have ever come across, so using your rule mk2 Golf Gti's look sh*t with deep dish wheels? someone should tell the VW clubs as they are all obviously wrong Report

Thats one of the oddest statements i have ever come across, so using your rule mk2 Golf Gti's look sh*t with deep dish wheels? someone should tell the VW clubs as they are all obviously wrong yes you are 100% correct ;DJOKEi say imo deep dish are for rwd mainly because i dont know of any fwd cars that come from the factory with deep dish wheels OLD OR MODERN CARS however there are lots of rwd & fwd cars that come with flat dish wheelsi think a deep dish wheel looks stunning on a fwd car ie mx5, escort mk2, mercs, bmw 3, 5, 6,7 series, and so on and so forth however only a few fwd cars look nice on deep dish rimsgolfs, polos well most vw's to be fair and yes paul your cav looks nice on the deep dish you have as its a nicer colour for them than mine and also its a hatch back thus a bit smoother lines than the saloon i haveits just my opinon and of course its not everybodys idea if it was then we would all have the same nameROBOT Report

August 24, 200917 yr Author comment_114811 they look nice on that yea but its black mines a horrible beige colouri had a green hatchback with deep dish RH rims with the centers in black, and it looked right but the green didnt! im finding it difficult to get any wheels that will suit the beige saloon lines.those ferrari wheels where 16" front and 17" rear so i didnt get themBUT he has got some borbet A and yes they are deep dish but they are square and only a 7.5 x 16 so might look fine against the beige cav Report

August 24, 200917 yr comment_114866 Whey are just wrong for a mk2 IMO. Mk2s have edges. What would Gordon do? Report
August 25, 200917 yr CLUB MEMBER comment_114868 Bold straight lines and small squaarish shapes seem to work best.Some old school rims work well on early cars like stealths etc.. but only sometimes.With 18s you do run the risk of creating a car you can't drive freely as with smaller wheels too. They will corner well, but you won't like it on "average roads" ;D Report
