they will actually look great on the N14 mate!! congrats on having the nuts to step away from the norm :yes:
cheers mate, yeh a few people i'd mentioned the idea to weren't sure but i had a feeling the shape and the silver against black of the wheels would kinda work with the white against black trim of the car.
gonna maybe fit some 10mm spacers too, make em a bit stancey
edit: another angle
HA, yeh! :stuart: it's nice and snug sideways in the battery tray, and it's a pretty monumental cable tie. it's all good :donatello:
Think the rotas looked better if I'm honest, sorry craig. Maybe on a K11 but not N14.
Whats spec on these alloys, offeset n rim width they be 15's?
Think would look good with daylight pictures and well glossed tyre's though :sorcerer:

Welllll, what should have been a few days off road for a simple gearbox swap and couple of other bits turned into a month after some driveshaft issues for the LSD action, but finally it's 99% done. Just got to investigate a knocking from the wheels/brakes/shaft later.
But here's whats been done while i've been getting vvl withdrawal symptoms:
- open diff n15 gearbox/shafts removed
- FTO brake set up removed with old hubs etc
- Front end fully poly bushed: arb, wishbones, drop links, steering rack etc.
- D2 coilover removed and fully stripped down, threads cleaned and repaired and reassembled fully greased with some brand new softer meisterR springs.
- Shiny, rebuilt sr18 LSD gearbox fitted, without shafts lol, few weeks later correct shaft finally tracked down and fitted
- My ATS cups all bored out 2mm and fitted along with new hubs and stock GTiR brakes to fit under them.
Once i have this knocking sorted later it should feel like a new car tbh, can't wait. All of above done with mahoosiv thanks to Martyn - vss irvine, who's basically provided most of the parts for the car now :lol: and all with no hassles and loadsa help etc.
Martyn also dropped off some nice soft semi slicks and some tyre softener when he came past the other day
drag time lulz
Anyway, some dirty dirty pics of the car after getting dusty and dirty in a barn for a month, but with the new rims on. Its wayyy too low atm, but the low offset of the ats is awesome .....
