OZ F1's CAME TODAY and fitted (only temp)

[Chapster5]

Well as most of you who remeber I am the one with 18" wheels on my car I finally recieved the OZ F1's I bought off ClioLou a couple of weeks back put them on my car today for a test fit (I must say im knackard lol) needs new tyres so they are back off and the 18"s back on for a temp fix

So in all there glory....

Enjoy

I do realise I need the car lowered to really pull them off and a finished front end in the paint department but they are not all that bad :rasp:

A massive improvement mate! :approve:

will drive alot better aswel. As you have already said it needs dropping just a tad :rasp:

 

[jack_kemp]

Just means you can buy some coilovers with the money from the 18's

Looks a whole lot better mate, you'll be AMAZED at how much better it drives!

[cliolou]

Good stuff

As people say, should drive much better going from 18's to 15's !Glad they fit ok etc, your future list should be....

Finish off 172 Kit
New Number Plates - Maybe a slightly smaller one on the front - Not sure what size for Phase one
Lower it plenty
Finish painting the parts and polish, polish, polish and lots of polish to shine it all up
Lower it even more
Remove wipers

As I thought .. Wrong profile for 15's !

Has the suspension not settled or is the jack stuck under there now ?!

:-S

 

[Chapster5]

Im getting my mechanic to get my some prices on low profiles tomorrow. As for the suspension I dont think it had settled properly I did sit in the car for around 10 minutes and pushed on the head lights to make it bounce to try and settle it a bit more, also sat on the boot edge and bounced up and down I think it just needs some hard cornering to push them down?

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Low profile ? They're too low as it is.

FLOL.

I'm out.....

 

[Chapster5]

They look to big to me? Im not tyre expert though haha should I have bigger tyres then?

Really liking the f1s, huge improvement pal. I think Giraffe was suggesting the typical profile most run is 195/50/15.

Overall its coming along nicely

You need to buy these side skirts but the headlights and interior have sold now... you snooze you lose
