What alloys?

[Ayria]

I have a choice of any of those.

When I was in the showroom 'Sword' looked really good and I said to look into the availability of those, on paper (Attached Image) they look pretty crap :pinch:

I like Vulcan, Mirage & Fusion.

What you think?

Added Picture of my car.

Alloys will be 15 Inch with 195/50 Tyres.

I could have 17 inches on it, But there way too expensive, Bigger = Look better. Smaller = Better handling.

Also, I want to keep the radius of the whole wheel similar to the current so not to affect my mph read out etc.

[nvme]

ive always been curious why people buy expensive rims for their pos cars

I would rather get the bus. It would be faster, or do the alloys make it as fast as a ferrari? Cos im sure that why all these people spend thousands of ricing up there cars.

Expensive rims? These are Cheaps ones, compared to some that are ?700+.

POS of car? :sleep::

Sure, its no Ferarri, BMW, Audi, Volvo, Saab etc. But, I love it, Im 19 years of age and have a 2002 52 plate car which cost ?4,500.

I personally dont think im doing bad considering its my 2nd car.

Go troll somewhere else. Your ignorance and plain dumb ass comments are what makes Neowin a worse place to be day by day.

Nothing helpfull to say? Press the back button or click the Neowin logo, you DONT have to post your negative, bashing/trolling comments.... or maybe you enjoy belittleing people online, maybe it makes you feel good. Who knows? Who cares? Just dont bother in future because I shall just ignore your childish immature comment(s) which serve no purpose what so ever.

I see it a lot here, people do something and all they are get are negative and sometimes very offensive comments. Sure, negative critism is as good as positive, but this is not critism, its just plain immaturity and trolling because you can't stand to see someone else doing something that they like and you dont approve and/or understand it.

Accept this, people are different. Thats half your battle won. Now, be mature and do not reply to this message, If you do and its offensive/sarcasm I shall lose all respect for you and add you to my block/ignore list here. If you reply, I want an apology or your comment removed by yourself.

Additionally, buy a better car? Erm... how would you suggest I buy a "Better" car with ?311.99:) :) It was a 2nd hand car... I didnt choose the specification level, as above, Official Fiat Accesories, alloys are ?600+ and are very similar to ones I have choosen.

Anymore comments like these I shall ask a staff member to moderate and delete comments as they are all off topic and trolling.

[IceBrewedBeer]

You know what, I'm not sure of the backround of a Fiat, but I can be damn sure that it's waay better than a Saab. Do you even know why they call it a Saab? Because after getting it fixed at a shop and recieving the bill, that's all you can do is Saab. Now this is just based on how Saabs haven been like in the past, not sure what it is like now. Hope you enjoy your new rims, so lucky. :p

I want some new Iroc-Z rims for my S10. =(

I asked a question. I realize now I didn?t put a question mark, but I intended it as a question. You did somewhat answer my question but in the process decided to bash me for calling your car a piece of ****.

I never said you needed to buy a new car. You pulled that totally out of the air. However, my original question was why you would want to put ?300 worth of aesthetics into a car that looks like crap. I too drive a piece of **** car. I just can?t see myself spending that much money to make my car look like a piece of **** with shiny wheels.

I do not see my question as being 'dumb ass' as you put it. You?re putting serious thought into buying these rims and I ask only because i am curious. Yes, I am ignorant to the answer of my question.. but only because you wish to insult me instead of answering me.

If you feal threatened by my questions, then maybe you should block me and every other person who askes you questions that you feel insecure about answering.

If you want a staff member to delete my posts because I hurt your feelings and becuase you feel my question of "why do people put these on such a car" is off topic, feel free because I doubt you will ever answer the question anyway.

Cool down, take a chill pill and try to enjoy life.

Use google how alloy wheels are better then steel wheels.

Basically, they look better.

The alloy wheel allows better cooling to disc brakes by dissipating heat thus reducing brake fade.

They are lighter then their steel counter parts.

In general, alloy wheels are lighter, more attractive, and better at dissipating brake heat that their steel counterparts. They tend to be available in standardised sizes which means competition amongst tyre vendors giving low prices and good availability!

Fitting alloy wheels normally reduces your car's unsprung weight  - in layman's terms this means a reduction in rotating mass at the ends of your suspension components, giving you improved steering feel and greater braking response.

You didnt.

Its the fact 9/10 people say that because they think you are 'ricing' your car up and are just been awkward.

You, was obviously not. Sorry.

I like the Vulcans. Nice car seeing as you're my age. I'm hoping to get a car as new / nice as that when my insurance comes down so next year sometime when I have 2 years no claims :D

In your name? Mine's in my name and since I'm in my second year it's ?900. Third party though.

I'd say ?1300 would be pretty cheap if it's in your name (and fully comp;) ;)

[Ayria]

?13xx Fully Comp, in my name with my sister on it too (18, UK Prov License) Thats with tesco, was cheapest by far.
