[TomC15]

Hey guys, I've got the van on steelies. Because I dont really have any money for some rimmage right now, Anyone got any ideas of wat I could do with the standard ones.

Heres a Pic



Thanks guys

Little hint - rims are just the edges around wheels <:

as for spangling up your steelies, you could mask the centre section and paint the edges a different colour? that always makes them look a little deeper.
depending on your wheel size, also you could pick up some cheap classic hubcaps. i'm running red steelies with chrome hubcaps, and I love them at the moment.



Shitty pic for reference. Excuse the rust.

Ahh sorry, I'm a bit new to this lol.

Yeah sounds good, I've heard I can get Saxo VTR Wheel to fit, If I could get a set, and then get some stretch and camber on, It should look good

Its alright, its just a huge bug bear amongst some of the older members of the forum ;D If they'll fit, go for it! I'm looking for some van wheels for mine at the moment, but the PCD is a little odd.

Yeah mate, I was thinking about stickerbombing the outer "rim" lol. What do you think?

If you can do it with similar coloured stickers and get it completely covered and sealed, then go for it. I know its not a lot of people's cup of tea, I personally am not a fan, but there are instances when it works well if they stick to similar coloured stickers (ie ones only having red black and white in them) - the standard chaotic stickerbombing throws me off!

Yeah man, cheers for the comments mate
Going for a stickerbombing session on the wings this weekend for sure, and de-badging the rear aswell.

I just wanna get the fucker lowered really, but finding some springs is a bich, No Company does springs for her!

You try lowering a Minor, mate!
Stickerbombing has to be the hardest thing to 'get right', and like I said before, get a good seal on it - good enough that you can take it through a car wash and not worry. The reason most people see it as 'tacky' is because of the peeling. Reckon a couple of layers of clear lacquer used for finishing paint jobs could work nice!
Is there no car version of this van?

EDIT: Seen its a Citroen Visa. Hmm.

Yeah mate, Thats the trouble lol. Plus I'm Saving up to get my Crotch Rocket licence aswell lol.
I think she'd look good slammed though

Visa apparently had shocks on the front - just get some measurements and compare with other cars - I'm guessing she's leafsprings on the back? Lowering blocks.

No it aint springs on the back, I dunno what they are, I'll get a pic tomorrow buddy

You can make your steelies wider, and paint them as you like:
