  • fitting 15 inch superlites....your thoughts

    Guys
    Want to know you worldly opinion on replacing my 13x7 inch 4 spokes with 15x7 superlites.......... i quite fancy them but my misses prefers the old skool look, what do you think?

    On the technical side do you see any problems with just bolting them straight on, running minus 1 inch all round with standard dia front springs and ap 4 pot calipers and standard rs hubs, rear currently drums but very close to swapping to rear disc conversion.

    any comments welcome

    I prefer the old skool look, but its up to you, It's not as if you're needing extra space for big brakes etc is it

          I am thinking og doing the same, the range of tyres is far greater than for 13", would appreciate some pics if you do go for it.

            The Works Mk2 ran 15's, sometimes 13's on one side a 15's on the other, but that was a service mistake.

              I prefer 13 x 7 RS 4 spokes but superlites do look good.

                i think 13" minilites look a bit wrong, and 15" is ther only way to go for them. imo of course

                            love the compomotive wheels, need to be in black tho on a yellow car, IMO anyway,

                            But then i do have some strange tastes
