Pic request, please

hello, as the nights are drawing in and bad weather will soon be on the way id like to get a set of winter wheels to protect my bbs, i was thinking g60 steels, problem is iam unsure as to wetaher it will ride too high on standard suspension, so has anyone got any pics of a small bump mk2 on g60 steels with standard suspension?

(please dont just say "well lower it" bla bla bla... etc etc thats not an option!)

thanks!

 

Its not a small bumper, but its riding on standard hight with g60 steels......

I don't get it, surely it'll ride at the same height as it does with BBS..?

 

my bbs are 14" i suppose i could get lower profile tyres on the g60's to get the same ride height, for intence when the tyre is 185/65/14 does the 65 mean 65mm?
i think standard tyres on g60's are 195/50/15? so is the overall diameter of the wheel and tyre the same as my 185/65/14's?

sorry for all the Q's iam a bit confussed.

cheers.

thanks for the pics btw!

 

Personally, i would definately lower it as standard suspension is pants.

Even 35/40mm would be good...

It would definately handle better to.

What is the reason why you dont want to change the suspension Copeidge mate???

 

just insurance atm and i cant afford to buy new shocks or springs tbh iam also wanting it standard (call me gay or whatever..but i like it that way) iam really pushing it trying to buy the wheels as tax is coming up soon aswell..

cheers.

 

Hi,

The "65" is the profile and is a percentage of the tyres width for eg 65% of 185. The overall diameter of your wheels and the 15" steels on 195/50/15 or 185/55/15 will be virtually the same.

Nothing wrong with standard suspension.

thanks, good news, iam just scouting around now for some g60 with tyres that may need a refurb becuase i dont mind doing some work
looking for a set with good legal tyres for around 80-100 quid max!

 

Fair enough, best to keep it standard i suppose...

You should keep the standard wheels too if your keeping it that way mate

 

yeah i know what you mean. about a month ago i was going to go uber standard but iam loving the way it looks at the mo! and iam just wanting to pretect my bbs


fingers crossed my budget is good enough.lol

 

Here is another pic i come accross.

Looks nice lowered with the small bumpers

 

thanks for that! i much prefer the black centers and i think there cheap from the dealer.

 

Yeah second that, the black centres look well nice

 

if anyone see some for around my budget please give me the heads up.

cheers.

 

Set in the for sale section in Manchester IRC

 

thanks already pm'd

 

I found one of my old black golf!

 

Sorry but, what's the point? No offence meant but we're talking about a set of 14" BBS wheels, nothing special, regardless of your DIY refurb.

Spend your money on interior upgrades or girls.

 

Thats a very valid point!
