Soarer wheels on my Celsior

Postby UZZ30 » Mon Nov 26, 2007 8:45 pm

Finally got some TT soarer 16" Alloys to go on my Celsior, Sure they arent 18's or what not they would be great but considering these are a fraction of the price of a new set and actually make the car look decent they are quite well worth it.

Certainly gives it a more sporty look than those nasty elderly man style 15" stock wheels they have! :)

they're as bad as aristo 16's, ditch them for mk4 supra 16's, turbo *8's and *9's if possible 8)

Eh, See I think those supra 16x8's are horrible mags. Never been a fan of them. They however have a good width...

Hmm yeah not quite my taste... Im just happy to have some TT rims, they would have gone well on my soarer but go just as well with the celsior.

At least now as well as how it rides and handles better you can see the Rotors and calipers! :wink:

Haha I would agree they are rather sad brakes.

Might upgrade one day...

Haha you don't have to worry there, I don't think they fit under TT rims so I wont be touching them until I have a set of larger Altezza rims or whatever for the car, the exhaust done, Uni Chip installed and coils to replace the air suspension first...

However do you know if TT rims suit the celsior as upgrades? They would be more than enough for me really...

Plus Im getting some EBC pads soon so that will improve braking to keep me happy.

Cheers, yeah its kinda the look Im after I like to keep it stock/OEM looking rather than slamming it on 19's. Plus Id rather spend money else where :wink:

Not enough clearance for the caliper between the rotor and the spokes
