Went to town on the jeep this evening. Paintwork needs a small bit of attention, which I hope to get to over the coming weeks. It was starting to get neglected tbh.

So far the spot light surrounds were re-sprayed, along with the railings on the top and towbar

Must say, they look very well, better than all the alloys I see on that generation Corolla.

L-M · 31-05-2014 11:53AM

Nice wheel, what are they?

nd · 31-05-2014 11:56AM

Idk I got them off a fellow on donedeal (for 200), he had them on an older corolla

They look identical to the MGF wheel.

Nice choice, they look well

Alanstrainor · 31-05-2014 01:44PM

Very nice set of wheels.

Bpmull · 31-05-2014 01:49PM

Lovely alloys they were well worth the trip and a good price too. What wheels were on it before steelies and covers was it I can't remember.

Moneymaker · 31-05-2014 02:31PM

That Corolla impresses me everytime I see it.

It was pretty short sighted not to consult the 100's of members on here (who don't have to pay your car tax) before choosing your engine

I think the tax for a 530d and a 520d is exactly the same :pac:

Big Nasty · 31-05-2014 04:32PM

Well, well peasant - where have you been hiding?

Have you come back to sort the men from the boys?

challengemaster · 31-05-2014 04:49PM

Lol... Finally got my new wheels on the car too!

Moneymaker · 31-05-2014 05:50PM

Cleans up nicely. Not bad for 400 notes.

yep

Foxhole Norman · 31-05-2014 08:52PM

Moar lows!

nd · 31-05-2014 08:56PM

lol the tires that were on the alloys are lower profile than I'd chose and the rim/tyre combo is slightly smaller than the originals. When it comes time to change the tires I'll get slightly higher profile ones.

challengemaster · 31-05-2014 08:58PM

It does look ridiculously high now! haha

Supergurrier · 31-05-2014 09:00PM

40 profile is the sweet spot

nd · 31-05-2014 09:05PM

They are 215/40/16

185/65/14 were on it. When changing I might go marginally bigger than the originals as I always felt 5th gear was a bit low geared at motorway speeds.

New ones are 4.5% smaller than old ones.

In terms of circumference/diameter.

Lovely alloys nd. Make such a transformation to the car!

Have to agree there, a decent set of alloys make a world of difference

As you very well know! Any regrets not keeping the originals on, I remember you being slightly hesitant at the time?
