In a few weeks I’m going to respray my Cyclones, my 6 is Diablo red and I’m thinking of painting the wheels dark grey metallic, any opinions on what they’d look like?Secondly, wheel spacers, I see they’ve been done to death on here but I’ve no experience with them so I want to get them right.... Are 20mm on the rear ok with a std suspension setup? Will they alter the handling? Which ones should I buy? Will I need longer wheel bolts? Thanks in advance gents! |

You'll find 20s pushing the wheels close to the outer arch on hard cornering 10s or 15 max should sort the look without playing with things to much Longer bolts =yes Type Ali hubcentric 4stud 108 spacing Will change you handling yes but not much certainly less than good tyres compared to s**te etc ________________________________________ BLACK RALLYE - phoenixWHITE RALLYE - valliant http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com/ https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history |

I think that one was Vauxhall Graphite Grey ( long time ago ), The car is in getting resprayed and I'm having another set done in graphite grey for it, so I'll post a pic up for you next week when I get it back. ________________________________________ pet hate, the cat |

That’ll be great, silly question...what do you do about wheel studs whereas the colour is concerned, are yours still steel/chrome? |

Yeah that’s true, well I need new studs anyway so at least they’ll look nice albeit a different colour |
