    show off your rims

    Im interested in you car pics, renault 5 gt turbos with aftermarket rims.

    I was going to go for 172s but the whole wheel spacer thing is putting me of, turbines are another option, look sweet but have been done to death.

    I fancy some nice 16" oldskool rims like arrows, blades, azev as or some steaths.

    Come on lets see you rims

    i thought all the stealths had been buried in a field somewhere , i think momo arrows have a place on a 5 gtt...i have a customer that is going back to the old school hockenheims which suit it well

    Re: show off your rims

    hockenheim's would be my choice on a 5 these days....

    Perhaps i should do the 90's thing and buy a set and remove the side graphics...

    The Ghost is currently doing the 90's thing on it's OZ Polaris' . They stopped making them around 10 years ago now, as I got one of the last sets. They're the wheels I always wanted on my 5

    I've always liked TSW Blades on the gtt as well

    Sod it, i don't own it now but this was when i had the 5 sitting on 15" 100+ Qualifiers painted MGB British Leyland 70s orange



    So if it's a 172 but i love these 15" Speedline 2118s and think they'd suit a 5

    Re: show off your rims



    Matt - Stamps on the rims are 48.5 offset, so way off the 35 ideal. I have to run 5mm spacers on mine, i listen to people saying "spacers - No way" but i've never had any issues.

    Uploaded some more pic's on my profile.....just takes too long cos of converting the file sizes!

    Not to worry mate.

    I've lost track of where my old various sets of alloys have gone over the years - Gawd knows who currently owns my old white 5 in that picture. I'm guessing the Hocks have long since gone awol as well...
