Cheers, fitting random wheels doesn't usually go down too well on here so I appreciate the kind comments. Other people had previously commented on rostyles looking wrong on a Proton but I had to fit them to find out. 

The wheel choice is quite limited, what usually happens is people just go into halfords or buy anything that fits whether they look good or not...

 

 

or

A 4 x 114.3mm PCD is limiting?

Pah. Try buying a car with 4 x 110mm....

OK, It's not that limited but there are a lot of shit wheels out there and very few wheels that I'd be able to afford that would be the type of thing I'd go for...

 

I was looking at these...

I'm going to do something foolish when I've got some pocket money, I can just see it happening, and it's going to be all your fault.

 

I'm intrigued... What's the plan?

[vulgalour]

to purchase a car with Malaysian style and a boot.  Last time I was looking at a potterer I was trying to find a Proton Saga but they were all more expensive than I'd anticipated, you seem to have got lucky netting a good one at a mere £100.

[Junkman]

I'd love those Swastika wheels on my Mitsubishite.

I think they will be waiting a while... Eh, I'd give ~£800 for it with 12 months tax and MOT but I'm sure I wouldn't be 'good enough' for the seller.

[Ghosty]

Rostyles look good! 

Those Civic VTi Speedlines, on the other hand, nope.

The old Celica Supra wheels would also have looked good I think.

[DodgyBastard]

New wheel choice... hmm

Three* spokes ftw!

[CreepingJesus]

Why you no come round for photo opportunitee? Huh? What wrong with Swedish technology? Huh? Need Proton fix, sunny Jim!

 

 

I once got a speeding 'advisory' for 70-something on the Cadham Rd in a Proton. I tell you many Proton story. Huh? You no like? Huh? Proton, Malaysian Volvo! Unkillable! Except when scrapped. Pity.

[cms206]

I miss mine. It was a desirable J-reg example

[CreepingJesus]

You have many Volvo! You no complain now! Complaint invalid!

[DodgyBastard]

I still have many Volvo...

Never thought i would say this, but that Proton looks rather good !

Reminds me, I live not too far from a Proton garage. Need to get pictures.

 

Keep up the good work

What's the width/offset on those slots? Fit looks perfect, although I'd like to try 15s or even 16s on mine.

[DodgyBastard]

No idea, probably 6" wide. 15's look too big and 16's will look totally shit!
