£177 each times 4 = id need a job

but they are really nice :)
oh i wish

12s are just easy. 10s wont fit without break mods i dont have the cash. at the moment. 13s need arch tubing. so 12 is just easy for now, i like the idea of 14s with a beam from a clio or something.

oh and i want 7 width because i have wide arches

For £708, you could convert your brakes, and buy a set of nice alloys and tyres with cash to spare. I doubt those wheels would take the weight, so you have a choice... spend a silly amount and run the risk of killing yourself or others, or spend less money and have something that looks better, and is safer...

Plus if something was to happen, I’m pretty sure the insurance company wouldn’t be too pleased about you using something that wasn’t designed for it’s intended purpose.

For sitting at a show on a stand taken in on a trailer then maybe but if you go ahead and put these on your car and drive it your a very silly person. Think about it, You could kill yourself, anyone in your car with you plus anyone any where near your car. So then if you do live through it you get to sit in prison for probably the rest of your life thinking about how so many people told you not to do it but you still went ahead and did it anyway. If you've got any respect for anyone opinion on here (as i think you may as you have asked a question and for our help) then don't even think about this idea any further.

But if you do it please let us all know when and where you'll be driving it so we can stay well clear of you.
