probably is every boy and his dog have the 180 wheels so it makes it diff with the speedlines i know they look like steelies but in real life the look stealthy may change the colour not sure yet only had the car 4 days I think people read to much into alloys theese days it may make a less sporty version look good personaly i think its the under bonnet which counts which is what the 180 is about but do appreciate your comments guys |
And what your doing is making a sporty version look less good...in my opinion!

I didn't mean any offence with what I said, it was just my opinion and a comment made in response to what you said. Like Jamie said, your car, do what you want with it.

its ok i did not take offence Quarmbo your comments are welcome just whish people would see beyond the alloy wheels and ive just purchased it so may well change the wheels but for now they look ok to me cars that are changed from standerd are like marmite you like it or you dont think i may put some of those chrome flames around the side repeters that will cause a stir may divert attention from my wheels .

yeah sorry I just commented that because thats where the discussion was headed. It's obviously a great car due to the engine and everything else that comes with owning a 180! Are they 16"s? cause apparently it handles better on them.
I'm sure in real life they look better, but It just doesn't look like a 180 with wheels like that. I think the reason everyone's bringing them up, is because thats the big difference compared to any other
I think they'd look better a different colour. even if they were vortex's im not sure black goes well with the blue.. Obviously it's your choice though, cause we're all just saying what we'd do!

Think your right the colour is not the best suited there the 205 1.9 wheels and yes it handles superb im not to fussed about people realising its a 180 they would soon know once i floor it and all 200 ponies start to trot trouble is now its hard to tell a real 180 as quite a few have upgraded and done a very good job of it you cant tell unless you drive it

Not from a "chip" cat back and panel filter..that's for sure.
I'd get the speedlines done in a different colour mate - speedlines do look like steelies when they're black
