the look all the celebs will be adopting for the season... steelies and OE hubcaps.    lets see how long it takes this...  to look like this...   the joy of negative camber.   ;D ;D ;D |

Steels, caps and whitewalls I reckon are "in":  If I wanted whitewalls, would I need to buy new tyres? Are those trim ones useless? |

Those wheels look bizarre on that Audi IMO.
The stick on flap white walls do exactly that - flap about! Guy I knew ran some and a couple actually flapped right off the tyres at 90ish.

Those whitewall flaps fly off at about 80mph just to prewarn you and make a mess of the paint. And go BANG when it happens.

Hotwire can't be happy that HE's being accused of being a Barry, while YOU are choosing some non-performance-enhancing mods for your corsa 1.2!!!

Those whitewall flaps fly off at about 80mph just to prewarn you and make a mess of the paint. And go BANG when it happens. I've taken the flaps on my car well beyond 80  They certainly don't last forever though and whatever you try to do and stop it they do eat into the sidewall rubber a bit. I think I worked out they tend to last around 6k miles before one will tend to let go and you need another set to keep the car looking right. They do make a bang, sometimes with no ill efffects but I have twice had the tyre go down as a result of the rim leaking where bits of flap reminained. First time I wasn't expecting it and was in the middle lane of the M25 when the tyre punctured alltogether  Since then whenever one has come off I've stopped soon after to check. |

My 'Korsa' suggestion MUST be done! *n That'd be Quorsa...he's not allowed the K. The official recognition of 50s 'sled styling applied to a non-era-specific car on Retro-Rides is the application of a 'Q' where the usual Kustom 'K' would be applied. Obviously the 'U' comes as part of the package (yes, all you Scrabble players I know that QI is a word! ). |
