New batch of stickers arrived this week, to replace my large rear one, and to place on customer's cars.

Turns out they are terrible...  :grin: :grin: :grin:

Re: Keano's Edition 30- New wheel opinions.
« Reply #319 on: April 16, 2012, 11:17:47 pm »
Oki doke. I've been given the opportunity to swap the pescaras for a set of new alloys.

My friend from school is running his own alloy wheel business atm. They're called SQUARED. You may have seen his AMG about...



Anywhooooo.....

He has designed these wheels, (currently in production) and I'm just wondering on people's opinions? They'd be 18" x 8.5J

I've made a dodgy photoshop so you can imagine them on the car.

Comments appreciated on this one  :happy2:

Well I can't say for sure, but Ive had 19x8J ET45 wheels for a long time now and they have never rubbed. Even lowered 45mm with the car full!

Ive also noticed that when some other people have had rubbing issues, they mention the 8.5" wheels. But that could be due to different offsets.

All I can say for sure is that IMO, 19X8J ET45 are perfect.  :wink:

Dont think they look great, almost a bit cheap :surprised:

Maybe nicer in black/grey but not a fan of the design. Think the spokes go to far on to the rim/face off the alloy.

Cars looking gret tho, very shiney  :driver:

I like them! Certainly suits the car in your PS.
Would like to see them darker. Anthracite/black maybe?

I'm not keen on the Squared ones at all. So my vote is to keep the Pescaras.

Yeah John and the guys are awesome.

The cast single rims retail at under £1000 so not too bad.

Thanks for the feedback too guys.  :happy2:
