I saw this and thought it looked the nuts. Needs paint to finish but those wheels are the WIN on this  Maybe a little lower. But hell yeah |

A little bit less wheel at the front would help with the clearance with getting it down a bit more there. Could get some proper rubber rake happening that way to. In that red, it would be very Hot Rod Magazine.

Ooh yes, do like those wheels! Great to see a P6 rolling on something different. Agree it would look nice in red, doesn't need much else I don't think |

Yep, that car, in red, with those wheels but dropped at the front, raked....pretty much as you've all said. That would look ace ;D Here is Jim's P6 all in red ('cept the roof obviously) which he painted himself, in winter, in a single garage near his uni digs. He's a student and he drives a V8 manual P6 as his daily which makes it pretty cool too in my book.  I've tried to persuade him to slap some different wheels on and tickle it with a stick, but he's happy with it as it is and I can't say I blame him. |

Actually, I've been looking for a set of 5 stud Cosmics for it for a while. Uber rare wheels, especially in 5x5"... Something like this:  The ride quality is pretty good, as it's my daily I'm not *too* tempted to slam it, especially given the funky suspension on them. May happen some day   I reckon the one Alistair posted would look excellent in the yellow the doors are in. Or brown. But I'm just odd.  |

Mine is custard yellow, or Almond as Rover called it and I'm fancying some simple slot mags., but 5x5x15 are awkward to find cheap.  It's crying out for some Wolfrace. |

I have a set of slots in stock for a future project, they were off a Jensen Interceptor and weren't expensive. sub £100 for the 4 on the good E-bay.

Hi Guys, P6 is mine, thanks for all yr comments! cant believe its on this site ! My mate emailed the link so just had to check it out & register I'll post a new thread on 'myrides' with all that I have done so far,. Was a stocker last May, top-end engine rebuild, Mallory electronic Disty, header tank added, 12" fan added, front & rear suspension rebuilt & polybushed, new 2nd hand panels & of course the cherry(s) on the cake the Cragar 500 7x15" alloys, I just couldnt live with the original skinny 14" steels, these cars need the arches filled out! running 205/60/15 tyres but may go 195/55/15 as the rears do scrape the inner D-Post even after much modding with the grinder & welder! Its very tight under there! The colour will be all in Monza Red, I've so far sprayed the front wings, boot & front & Rear valences in good old cellulose in my garage, left to fully harden off then flattened with 1500 wet n dry, machine mopped, polished & waxed! long process but will look theh DB's when finally complete, yeah I agree could go lower, PIA removing the front springs, where can I get shorter versions? Here's the a couple of pics:   |
