LiamGTR Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Am I the only one who likes ***/35/** wheels? If I could afford it and it would look good i'd definitely do it myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNITERIDER Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 i like small wheels me, hence going back to 15"...big wheels kill the handleing and slow the car up as well. i like to carry speed through corners and be able to accelerate out of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say that ^^ where as I am more for looks, for example one day I dream of owning an R34 and it won't be stupidly fast with 800 bhp, it will near enough be a standard engine (albeit upgrade a few weak factory parts) but with exterior mods to make the car look nicer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNITERIDER Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 deffo. some people want looks, some practicality, some wanna go fast some wanna look good and go fast. i want my car to be more track/go fast orientated (propper way not barryboy way) but look half decent too cant fault ya. look at tez's orange scort, yea its had a few engine tweeks but it weighs a hell of alot and never will be "fast" it all depends on what you want my suspension will be changed to propper race orientated suspension whaen i can afford it so wont be so low...also very uncomfortable on the road lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomm Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 dependant on ET you may have strut and arch issues. Anything willfit anywhere! Will make it handle like Jordan though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdf_scort Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 just had a thought 18 inch wheels are really heavy ye?and 1.6 zetec escorts are slow?so a 1.6 zetec on 18 would barely move it would be slow as fcuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNITERIDER Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 it would somewhat slow it down yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
