Abarth Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 who cares . Just bolt the wheels on and do skids! +1 Else color match the centres for max euro spec. You can try on my Rota GT3's if you want to see what red looks like with a polished lip. edit: Second the idea of having one side gun metal and the other yellow.

cute wee gem Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Gunmetal ftw. 165s suck balls, although they did look sweet Had 165s on at the 09? nats trackday in the silver Gem and it was terrible! They will be used for skids from now on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yeah, I decided it wasn't the best idea and needed 20mm+ spacers to get the look right. Should look fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 this rules my face so hard. Was close to buying a gem coupe from chch the other day but it turned out to be a rusty POS, was pretty gutted. onwards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 ^ Is that the one that was advertised on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 yep. got horse to check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Oh damn, that looked like it would have been sweet, a shame it was rotten. I tried to convince my flatmate to get it, thankfully he didn't! Still... likely it would have been less rust than his shitty VL commonwhore that he loves so much. Also, zep's Gem rules. Cool 1, Nice.

mikuni Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 The fact that you are going back to 'full sized' tyres has resulted in this image popping into my head for a potential ... 'stance'... Sticking some 205/50/15 semi's, possibly with white writing, on there would give the gem a pretty awesome look. /just throwing it out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 This kind of thing, but my photoshop fails, so try and imagine your wheels instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I'm still going to be using my 195/50s as not keen to shell out for new tyres at the moment and the current ones were expensive/are still good/I don't skid enough. I did think about whiting the "GOODYEAR" and "EAGLE F1" though, could look cool. Mostly together. It's all hand tight at the moment so need to go over it with a socket/allen key. ALSO - putting this together I find I have received back from the platers, 40 nuts, 40 washers, and 39 god damn bolts. Will have to head to the bolt shop on Friday and try find an exact replica.

mikuni Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 If you get stuck let me know, I should be able to grab another one from the same place I got those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I did think about whiting the "GOODYEAR" and "EAGLE F1" though. It WOULD look coooool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 If you get stuck let me know, I should be able to grab another one from the same place I got those. How about those clear indicator covers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 You've got to be sh1tting me? Didn't I give those to you or someone else at some point over the past 5 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 God knows! I have never received them. Probably easier to rip some off a car a Tony's anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zep Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Fine. Introducing the worst pictures ever (garage is pretty dark). You get an idea of where they sit in relation to the guards though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
