So today I finally got time to take off my 18" wheels to save them before winter gives them a bit of a kicking. I've finished painting my standard 16's (Yes, I said it, 16's. LOL) and fitted them today.
Took off my good wheels, cleaned them and put them away for winter.
I found 1 picture of the car as standard from when I first got it. So I've done a before and after. I think they look tiny but that's because I'm used to seeing my good wheels.
Anyway, see what you think.

 

Aaahh, what's 2-inches? When you're hitting all those potholes, your backend will thank you.

 

It's only 1.37 inches with the standard rims having 55mm profile and the 18's having a 40mm profile. LOL.
Feels weird driving with big tyres again, it's like driving on jelly when you hit a bump. Bring on spring time so I can make my car look decent again.

 

Its the % of the tyres width not mm

 

Using standard wheels better choice than fancy 18" and up wheels

 

Man Im glad I dont have to worry about having "winter wheels."

Now get some blacked out window trim!

 

Lol. I spent months looking for black window trim and could'nt get any except for at the *******s. Found new chrome ones on ebay for £20. Don't think I'll be messing around trying to change them again. Ok, maybe I will if I find some at the right price. LOL
