Your car your choice, I say carry on and do whatever you like, at least it's different not my taste but then again I would stop and look if I passed it

Thanked 3 Times in 2 PostsThe law is that the tread of the tyre (not the sidewall) must be covered by a wheel arch. And the wheel itself can protrude up to 30mm from bodywork, yeah the plan long term will be to get a body shop to get something more permanent sorted. This is really just so they at legal for this weekend.

If the wheels were anthracite or something, and it had an R front bumper, it might not look too bad, quite aggressive. Seems a bit of a mix of styles currently, but if you're happy, that's what matters.
Don't even get me started on all the issues with stretched tyres though...1996 850 T-5 -lowered 40mm, 17" Volans, T5-R front bumper and spoiler, recirc. blanked, open filter - GONE!
2003 V70 D5 SE - very standard - ALSO GONE!
2003 RenaultSport Clio 172 Cup - FOR SALE
2016 VW Golf R DSG - GONE
2013 Megane Renault Sport 265 - SOLD
