Thinking about getting Lenso Project-D's

Postby matt9111 » Mon Dec 28, 2009 7:57 am

Hi Guys,

Just got back from Europe, was fun fun, was crying that I didn't have my 5 there though, roads are amazing!

Anyways I was thinking of getting the Lenso Project D wheels, so I was wondering if anyone else had them and could comment and also show photo's?

Also would a 17x8inch offset, like +40 offset (will go lower if people think I should) wheel fit under my NB's guards, I don't mind rolling them, would 17's make it look like a 4x4? I will also be getting BC's soon.

Cheers

17's will look okay with a full bodykit: lip, sideskirts, rear bar (optional), no bodykit will look pretty donk.

imo, 16's is the max size you should go, without bodykit.

Certainly can be done but will look a little big in my opinion.

I'm on 17's (se wheels)... But I do have the front air dam and side skirts...

Have a look in the garage section for photos of height :)

in my humble opinion 17's on the NB look great

I run 17*7.5's with +30 offset from memory. They came with the car when I bought it but I certainly don't mind them. My NB doesn't have sideskirts, lips etc. Just lowered by the Tein monoflex a little (I run the shocks default height to keep the lower wishbone arm horizontal). Check the NB wheels thread above.

Thanks for the replies guys, but for the moment I have to sort out getting another car since mine is almost definetly written off.

Cheers again
