cheers guys, on a side note, the power steering felt like it was broken with the momo, cant believe what a difference the factory wheel makes on the steering, feels alot lighter and easier

Stunning! Love it so much.
Love the Personal wheel, finishes the interior off perfectly. Black on black, murdered out for the win!!
Edit, just flicked to the second page!
Still sexy as hell but personally I preferred it before :P

Holy shit no! I absolutely loved the Bentleys, those Maybachs cant keep up with em! They're more exclusive yeah...but i liked the old look better...
Anyways youre ride looks all top notch, inside and out.slamburglars.comComment

i know i know! im not too sure myself tbh, only got 20mm spacers all round at the moment, to clear the brakes, gonna need 50mm spacers on the rear, and prob 30mm on the front........
i think once they are sitting the same as the Bentleys they will look hard....because the wheel concaves outwards (if you get me) so the middle of the wheels sticking 2 inchest out from the body will look sick i think!
bentleys were tough, but they have been rinsed so hard! needed a change and something different..
and i like the simpler look of these....ill make them better than the bentleys!
when it was up on the ramps today, i had a poke around the suspention, ive got 5mm left on the front, and the seats left in at the back (but might remove the top lock nut), so need to move various bodywork out of the way and get it down more!Comment

looks nice also, but bentleys were perfect for that car IMO....
you just consider black wheels?
some models of porsche wheels, maybe colour coded in black, would look good also...with the OEM center caps giving some colour to the car...
or even the gallardo wheels...Comment

i know what your saying, but Bentleys, porsche and lambo wheels have been done too much in the UK now, it needed a new look!
nah i dont just go for black wheels, these will be changing colour after winter!Comment

Im kinda confused right now..the Maybachs have a convex shape, the center area sticks out more than the lip. Concave is when its shaped vice versa (for example what's pretty common for E46 Coupes).Originally posted by MTW View Post
So you want to poke out the wheels so that the wheels' center sits significantly more outside than the fender line? I think that would look hot, but you'd need some serious stretched tyre to make it work! How wide are the Maybachs? Also they're 19s right?slamburglars.comComment

convex! thats the word i was looking for! ha ha, thanks, sorry for the confusion!
yea, so id need to get them sitting with the lip in line with the arch, like the bentleys were, then the convex part will be sitting aboutside the fender line.
the bentleys were 19 x 9j with 215 and they sat in line with the fender.
but the maybachs are only 19 x 8j with 215, so there is slight stretch but not alot, so i might need more arch work, but im currently looking into getting the maybachs widened to 9.5j for the stretch, i stress looking into! i think it can be done, but i dont think it would be cheap!
im also gonna need 50mm spacers for the rear to get them sat equal to where the bentleys were!
but your right, i think it will look awesome with them fitted perfectly like that.Comment
