So today l had a delivery... A set of wheel adapters to change the horrible 4x130pcd to a more acceptable 4x108 ford, peugeot and a couple more to choose from. But l bought them because l had these sat around not doing much Rare Peugeot alloys l had on my 406 estate l forgot l had them & yes they are 17s haha. So l started with this After a bit of adapting mainly the stud holes in the wheel were 2 narrow for the the M14 studds on the adapters we got this And my fave view I promise this isnt photoshop either thats why l like it haha Believe it or not the overall rolling diameter isnt far off what the standard wheel & tyres were, l will have to run a low profile tyre, but needs must

Looks awesome. 185 35 17 is one hell of a weird size though! Almost look like audio wheels.

I feel like they should be painted a dark bronze... Looks good, though.

The whole look of the car just makes so much more sense with those wheels. Love it!

Its funny you say that l was thinking about a dark copper look for the wheels but the more l see it with the standard alloy the more l like it, so l think lm going to get them refurbed back to original for now. I keep looking at Air suspension but its a minefield out there of do's and don't's and expense haha.. We shall see its a lot of money on a car thats got bits of rot here and there but it would look awesome and give me some ride quality back.

This looks awesome now. That screams 90's to me. A nice shade of pastel salmon pink on the body would be amazing!!!!!!
