Thank you,

I am still really struggling with wheels. Upon doing some research, its clear that peeps in the USA have a much much bigger range of wheels to choose from under $1200 as thats my max budget for wheels.

I have had some very helpful links from members here but they are all sadly not here in England and shipping costs as much as the wheels themselves

I really wanted the Artisian kit but its a little over priced IMO.. Did you get the complete pic and would you mind sharing how much it ran you?

Pics would be great.. Im really interested in more info on this from a real world owner.. Havent seen/heard of any to date

Hi tsachiti

As a fellow Londoner, I had much the same problem looking for wheels in the UK.

I searched ebay for ages until I found what I was looking for. Unfortunately the company I got mine from in Scotland have gone now.
You would probably want something more aggressive than me anyway with the body kit you are using (great job by the way).
Mine were just under £1000 with Avon tyres and I am very pleased with them.

Good luck with your search.

Best regards
Steve

For sure finding under $1k for 20" staggered wheels will be a challenge plus lower quality wheels may wobble according to the experts on here-beware of that. It may be a gamble you are willing to take? I have bought many 20"s and 22"s and always have wobbling issues but as long as you buy your tires from a good place they will rebalance for you to fix it with proper weights on the the wheels.

You definitely want a 10" rear wheel and 9" front.

Here are some under $1k suggestions for 20" wheels with big lips:

These are my favorite...spider/mesh style with polished lip and rivots:

Chrome 5-stars, staggered...look nice. Check on shipping to UK:

Black faced spokes/spider design with polished lip...very nice:

These Vossen wheels are NICE!!!! Chrome, unique, but a little more $$$:

These are really sharp chrome stars with black inlets and the little rivots between spokes:

Hope this helps. If you buy from US you may want to try to buy from East Coast to save in shipping. Have you checked the UK eBay site?

I have the kit. Cost $8000 not cheap. It's the full kit with exhaust. Body shop wants $3400 to instal and paint it. I will post pics as soon as I read how.

Shop says the kit is good but not great. I needed a translator to work with the company and shipping was $2500. I hope it is worth it. I figured if I was to enjoy this for the next 10yrs just spend the $ and get the best.
We'll see.

Nice rides!

We have U.K Vossen Wheels dealers

Dont Laugh at the Stock Wheels, Its a work in progress !

So get this, I dont know if I like the kit yet or not, Infact, I like it but dont like the finish, it seems a bit bumpy to me, it may also be because I was there when it was being installed begining to end so i know where to look and hence biased. hmmm

I will upload proper pics later, currently , Im considering a white or black wrap.

Anyway, here you go...

Ive decided,
Putting old side skits back, new ones look a bit too much.

if anyone wants the current ones, pm me.

All i need no is Wheels !

irokdastar

dont take them off. wait till you get the wheels to see what the whole package look like. also upload more pics

aquanuke

Wow thats a transformation, very in the face. Really needs the wheels and stance (dropped) for the complete look and I agree with irokdastar keep the skirts until you have the rest done TBH stock skirts would look really bad with the rest of the kit.

Hey I spent all afternoon washing my car to come and see you, she's not had a bath for 8 months

Yes

The problem with putting your stock side skirts back on is they won't be even with your bumpers. The bumpers will be lower to the ground and it won't look good at all.

tsachiti

Haha, brill, mine is at autoshades tomorrow afternoon, Then after that, She is is ready for a viewing and loads of pics to upload here !!

I will pm you my mob.
