New Wheels
 
Hi. I've wanted some bigger wheels for a good while now, but nothing too in your faceor not OEM. Hoping bigger wheels will fill the arches and give better handling and turn in than the big 17" 55 profile balloons I currently have on the car. Just in the process of buying these:

For my D3. Am I right in thinking they're from a D4 and would fit the D3 with these:

TIA. John.

Hi John, Yep correct I had to get similar spigot rings for some 19" D4 winter wheels I bought off of Duffy on here and put onto my D3, and the metal ones like you have located are better by far! +++

Cheers. They're the wheels I passed on. Ha. Thanks again.

Passed on? Hah! to quote - JohnMed: If these don't get snapped up in the next month or two I'll be (very) interested. :p :D

Seriously though they are good wheels I like how the ET looks on a D3 position wise, but I'd also love a set of what you bought too, they look great on D3 and D2's +++

I spoke with Duffy yeah. Almost gave him a deposit. But couldn't have bought them for a while, and he had others interested. So I told him to sell them, because he was willing to hold them for me. He was very decent about it. You got a good deal on them.

Got 'em. Feel a bit like a bling drug dealer with them!

Cheers mate. The spigot rings were a tight fit. Had to use fairy liquid and tap them in with a hammer. I like the drive with them on, not too harsh at all. Just a lot shinier and bigger than my previous wheels. And they stick out a bit more too, being 30 cm wider,...

I'm sure they'll grow on me.

If they do grow on you let me know, I'd like a set
