Here's some 15X7's. I will need to get some spacers made up as they rub LOTS. There is about 35-40mm of dish and they need a good clean up. But I do like the look of them on there......... Keep the wats on there or go the 15's??? Tell me what you think.

they look ok. just paint them or polish them up due to the flaking paint.

true dished wheels dont have the hub further out from the mounting to the rim, but the design of these wheels usually for front wheel drive cars, gives the dished effect.

They still look good though.

Dont even waste your time,

the spacers are just an extra hassle , that can ruin your handling.

modern wheels look crap on old cars,

find some wheels that are the correct period for the car (and that fit), so they look like they belong on it.

I very much agree with that last comment..
Putting wheels like this can just make it look cheap.
Nothing worse :P

Like my old wats???

I do like the wats, but after awhile they are just getting tired to look at, plus there are so many 1200's with the minilite style of mag getting around, so I am looking for something different and I do like the look of the 15's.

Thanks for the comments.

Totally agree with you, but I like to hear what others think/feel. I wont be putting the 15's on until I put the B310 front struts in, maybe some time next year??? Until then the wats stay on.

BTW Pepper I see you are after some front brake hoses, do you want some braided ones??

i would paint the spoke parts and polish the lips.

new wheels on old cars modernise it and some people dont like that.

on some cars it looks great others, not so much.

on my old ute, 15 x 6.5 looked great in new school mags.

on my sedan, old school sets it off (still needs to be lower).

tastes and fashions change.

if your happy do it. dont get influenced too much.

also if they were cheap and suit 90% of what id wanted, id be happy.
