dunk300zxtt Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I've got 18" rims on my black car, I managed to fit 345mm discs, stock calipers with relocation brackets. The difference is phenominal. Before. After :D :hyper: A closeup. Bear in mind these wheels are 18" there's not a lot of room left :eek: Old vs. new comparison :wack: :smash: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are one piece and the center is sprayed gold so they will never rust. ;) These were my old set up bought off the link above. so they were nice and cheap and hassel free to fit, just bolt on and go :) New set up :) You should be able to see what i mean now the the caliper size compaired to the disc. it would look a little odd imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car.Mad Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Try the volks, they had a funny finish on them and every time you wanted to clean them you had to get the tcut out :wack: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkysi Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I used to have the split rim versions of those. They had chromed centres on them and the inner parts of the wheels, not the faces, were hard to clean too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TranceManDann Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 324mm disks with stock calipers and 19" rims, massive diffrence, even when running crap pads, god knows what it would be like with 100 quid a throw pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Zed Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 You need to bear in mind that when you do a brake upgrade, that beautiful space saver you normally have in the back will not fit on the front anymore, so budget for another wheel and tyre, or join a good recovery company and get a Soduko book to fill out whilst your waiting for them to turn up.

TranceManDann Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 just getting rid of green flag at the minuite, anybody recomend any good recovery companys, all it needs to be is recovery to any uk address, dont need anything else like home start or replacement car stuff, just for 3 cars and 2 people. only checked rac and AA and worked out to be about 100 quid, green flag wanted £175 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
