what steels are they? they make perfect banded wheels. I can now imagine a nissan 100nx in that style.

Brilliant, I also think that this is the first one of these that I've seen without some body damage.
The steels kinda look like those fitted to a zero option MX5

the first one of these that I've seen without some body damage. Check out the first pic, he's come down hard on that sill at some point (i said hard on), also the front is a completely different blue to the rest of the car. Anyway, I love it, I posted this car in a thread about a mirage by Rmad a while back. It's turbo'd by the way... edit: of course it's turbo'd there's a bay pic with a huge charge pipe and an intercooler behind the bumper you tit |

I like it a lot, partly because I'm not used to seeing one (I'm guessing USDM?) and parlty because I like the way it's been done.
However, despite the above comments, I personally reckon it needs larger diameter wheels. I'm a huge fan of banded steels (and those ones are done VERY nicely) but I just think they look a bit too small in proportion with the arches/mass of bodywork over the arches. Some 16's or 17's would make it look awesome.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti smaller wheels, but in this application they look a bit undewheeled.
Other than that, it's a great find. ;D

Always liked the shape of these since watching a few vids of them in youtube. I miss the days when cheap, cool looking coupes based on economy cars were plentiful. Come back Vauxhall Tigra, all is forgiven. |

That is awesome. For some reason I've actually wanted to badge a car up as a Geo since I was like 13. I wouldn't mind a little Geo Metro! I'm a sucker for USDM.

I don't think its the diameter thats the problem, I think the tyres are too narrow, makes it look weedy. If it was mine, it would be seeing at least 2" extra in the wheel diameter department. Some wider tyres might improve things a bit, but my comment was based on the fact that the wheels (IMO) look way too small for the bodywork of the car. The mass of metal above the rear arch (and even the front arch) doesn't suit smaller diameter wheels. While the tyres aren't ideal, I don't think they are the core of the problem. Personally  |

I've always had a soft spot for Geos, they always get slated in the US but they're good cars underneath. My second car was a Geo Prism, it looked a bit like this  only a bit more beaten up and with different coloured panels (and some awesome 90's five spokes and a bit lower) I've always wanted to go all jdm on one like this:  err yeah aaaaanyway [/OFF_TOPIC] |
