Black Saxo VTS - Progress Log - Euro Project - Keskin Wheels Are On

[NoFace]

Here you go guys, the start of some thing great my saxo still looking very standard but that is all to change. Spax psx 40mm kit going on maybe this week or next, then next mod will have to be exhaust system. Standard lights went back on last week, and pipercross filter fitted, engine photos coming soon.

I LOVE black VTS's.

Looks very sweet mate and so do the plans.

[Skorpion]

Keep it subtle mate. black saxo's always look class when not much has been done to them!

[Dan]

Like it mate, keep it subtle.

White wheels would look awesome!

[ChrisJ]

Very nice mate. I agree with Dan, white wheels would be awesome.

[TU-Tuning]

Love it mate, plans are spot on, nice one

[NoFace]

Big fan of the euro look, and was thinking maybe black wheels at some point some keskins but that wont be for a while, so yeah maybe a full magnex system but with back box painted black so i dont have the drum look, and de-badging including the 16v ones and black angel eyes. thats all i really have in mind at the moment, i have color coded dash and all that satan black and a few other bits on the inside like the center pillers and just started sanding the rear ones, also started sanding down the gearstick console to also spray satan black, erm and some vibe slick 5inch door speakers and plan to get some vibe slick 6x9 in the back.

[riggsy]

Very nice matey.

[Mikey]

looks good matey......euro style is smart dude

[jay200vts]

Euro look black saxo's are the way forward my friend.

Looks good by the way!

[waller1234]

Like it mate, keep it subtle.

White wheels would look awesome!

[Jay_VTR]

Yer i would euro it or stealth it mate. White multis are such a pain in the ass, i hate them! I think im gunna get some anthracite for mine when i have money to waste...

[dannyjay]

There were some 2nd hand ones for sale on Ebay the other week, 2 months old for 400£ BIN. Was so tempted! :P

[samcook]

what size have you got those wheels in?

[hesslevtr]

really like them wheels

ill look awsome when its slammed

hope your going to smooth the bodywork etc

[NoFace]

15", and yeah going smoooooooooooooth

[NoFace]

Keskins might be here 2mo, they are going to look sweet, but i dont really dare post pics untill i get my spax kit fitted (40mm) :)

[ChrisJ]

Sounds good mate, and the wheels look awesome. But you've got to go lower than 40mm if you're going euro!

[Japman]

very nice buddy

[Hopcraft]

lookin a good car, lik the black vts's too,

[Clouds_mate]

Nice, but you need to go alot lower then 40mm to make the rimmage look sexual.

[liamk15]

id say 60mm,if you get 40 you'll only regret it.

[mark16v]

Future plans sound alright. Not sure on them rims :P

[gokan]

Like it mate,

[NoFace]

Look what came this morning, will get some pics of them on my sax soon, maybe 2mo :)

http://www.frozenshark.co.uk/saxo/wheels_post.jpg

Yeah I think 60mm will be better than 40mm but what can i do now, i mean i have the spax psx kit 40mm or unless (not sure if this will work) but can i just buy 60mm springs for the kit, will that work, then i can just stick the 40mm springs on ebay?

[djrem]

lower that bad boy on some tiny euro wheels ;)

[xclairex]

looking good!

[JamieB]

wheels look lovely mate, shud suit the car really well. id go down 60mm aswell

look forward to seeign the pics of them on the car

[Jackman]

im intrested to see those wheels on the car!!

[samcook]

Look what came this morning, will get some pics of them on my sax soon, maybe 2mo :)

http://www.frozenshark.co.uk/saxo/wheels_post.jpg

Yeah I think 60mm will be better than 40mm but what can i do now, i mean i have the spax psx kit 40mm or unless (not sure if this will work) but can i just buy 60mm springs for the kit, will that work, then i can just stick the 40mm springs on ebay?

yeh you could just buy 60mm springs mate! if your cars down 40mm it wont pull the wheels off at all

[Skorpion]

Wheels look good mate. 60mm is a minimum for euro style. Get some springs and get the wheels fitted!

[NoFace]

Here we go some pics of them on the car after a quick wash, I also took off the 16 valve badges, so how low am i going to go... 40mm? 50mm? 60mm?

http://www.frozenshark.co.uk/saxo/keskincar2.jpg

http://www.frozenshark.co.uk/saxo/keskincar1.jpg

[ChrisJ]

60mm for sure. Get some tyre shine on there too.

[Yates]

wheels are nice, but you have put them on the wrong sides, they point the wrong way

[NoFace]

are you sure, i had them fitted for me, i think they are on the right way.

<<< rotation , thats what it says on the tyres i just went for a look.

[Yates]

defo on the wrong, the ones on the passenger side should be on the drivers side, and vice versa

[Davekelz]

The wheels are looking really nice mate, will be alot better once its down 60mm (for euro look). Think Matts right though, they do look to be the wrong way round.

[NoFace]

no checked it out, they are on correct the rotation arrows point to the front so they okay. every one saying 60mm so far, fair play it will look great but i worry about droping it 60mm.

[NoFace]

Got a comment on my new wheels tonight... bit small arnt they :boxing:

[Saxo-Slag]

What profile tyres are they. It needs slamming. I would go 60front 80rear

[NoFace]

They are 195/45. damn thats low, I think a little to low for me.

[Hopcraft]

i knew those wheels would look shit if you kept it at standard height, i think they will compliment the car a lot more once its slammed, id say 60 tbh mate. imo you should always lower before putting aftermarket rims on !

[aj-vts]

will be sweet when slammed, will be keeping an eye on this one!!!

[Tupps]

nice rims.....slammed and she'll be awesome

[saxoash]

umm not too keen, would have looked better with decent tyres stretched over them, also you will need do be down atleast 60mm on front and rear to suite so that would be like 80mm

[VTS_16v_Boy]

They are 195/45. damn thats low, I think a little to low for me.


When me and the missis where out for a walk in the local country park we saw a New Vectra D SRi (not Desiel they use letters instead of Mk's) on 19's with 35 profiles :panic:

Hard as you like!

Unsure about the wheels but that should change once you swap the 4x4 suspension for lowered items 60mm 60mm I reckon 60mm 80mm might be abit drastict but you might be ok :y:

French Plates/Colour Coding and debadging will go along way towards the euro look with out spending a fortune

[Jimbo]

60mm for sure mate, i also think you should maybe have gone a little lower on the profile?

Maybe somthing to think about when these ones need replacing. :y:

[Richardson_VTS]

Not sure on the wheels atm, will probs look better once slammed and smoothed!!

[mark16v]

Not keen on the new wheels, needs lowering for sure ;)

[samcook]

id go 60 on the front and about 80 on the back and then get some different tyres to get the stretched look!

[NoFace]

Right made my mind up i am going to drop it 60mm all round on spax psx kit, that means i will be selling my new 40mm spax springs and buying some new ones, what 60mm springs shall i get guys, the spax ones to go with the kit?

[saxo2tone]

alloys look nice mate different any way

[rushy_23]

Really dont like those wheels buddy, but at least your trying something different.

[Mikey]

nice rims!! will look awsome when its slammed..go for coil overs and deck it

[Skorpion]

Yup, coilovers!!!! Can't make mind up on the wheels as the car needs to be lowered! Once that is done I will decide!

[Wayne]

looks gd m8:y: :)

[NoFace]

Thanx for all the comments guys. I know the wheels only look half good at the moment, I am going to slam it 60mm on spax psx kit, maybe i can get myself a coilover kit at the end of the year, just got to pay off my wheels then I will get my kit fitted.

As for the rest of the plans bumpers will be all colour coded at some point, front lights will be replaced not sure yet of angel eyes or just the standard black ones, smoked jewels for the rear and smoked side repeaters at some point aswell, And I have a plan for a powerflow exhaust some thing along the lines of the letter box backbox sprayed black so it looks nice and slick. any suggestions are very welcome. O and yes debadging the tailgate (16v badges have already gone).

[ChrisJ]

Dont spray the backbox mate, get a hidden one fitted, and then smooth the exhaust cut out over. Euro styleeee!

[Hopcraft]

yeh just get the spax 60 springs, a lot of people use them on here.

[Japman]

looking forward to seeing pics when its lowerd buddy

[adamsax]

Nice mate, looks like you're going down a similar route to ads. Check his car out......

He's 60F 90R.

:y:

[Tupps]

Ad's car is pure sex tbh

[NoFace]

Thats very close to what I plan to do, thats a very fucking nice saxo. Colour coding, only going to drop it 60mm all round though becuase alot of speed bumps near me. love the bonnet but what I was planning on doing with mine was to keep the meshed grill, untill I have the funds, then to get a dimma grill smoothed into the bonnet, I feel I really need that airflow ya know. As for the exhaust I was thinking about hiding the exhaust but at the moment I am liking the idea of the exhaust in the shap of a letter box and being sprayed black and sitting in the rear bumper perfectly, might have to get a photoshoped pic to show you what i mean, I just think it will look slick and sex on my sax and yes different, I know I am going the euro route but I dont want to stick to too many guide lines. Can always change it anyways...

Thanx for the comments guys, keep em flowing.

dont mean to be picky but arent they different styles?

i prefer the ones you said you had ordered instead of the one's that turned up!

[NoFace]

OMG your right, strange that they dont seem to sell the ones i have, check the keskin site and dubmeister it seems that you can not even get the ones I own.

[NoFace]

Okay just worked out whats gone on, there are two types kt5's right and the new ones are ktn5's, http://www.dubmeister.co.uk/ have the wrong pics up, well gutted but not too pissed as I would not have noticed if you had not said any thing, bit late now they are on the car, will call them in the morning and see what they say.

[platty]

good luck mate, didnt want to leave you in the dark though pal.

[Dan]

Look nice mate, definitely lower it 60mm

[welsh_rich]

Hey mate, they look nice. However, i'd ring them see if they will change them to the ones you actually wanted in the pic, and see if you can get some lower profile tyres with the newer ones. Once you get the newer ones then slam it, then it should look ace! :y:

[Riska]

Nice mate, looks like you're going down a similar route to ads. Check his car out......

:y:

what's a kind of wheels are those??

what are those size??

http://www.frozenshark.co.uk/saxo/keskincar2.jpg

http://www.dubmeister.co.uk/wheels/keskin_kt5.jpg

dont mean to be picky but arent they different styles?

i prefer the ones you said you had ordered instead of the one's that turned up!

i like your wheels but i prefer a black polish style ;)

the size of your wheels are 7jx15??

[NoFace]

Yeah I like the black polish style to, but they cost a bit more, but any way I might plan on getting these sprayed satin black either end of summer or end of year, but will have to see how i feel and maybe a few photoshop jobs to make my mind up. 15" by 7" by the way. Not sure if i would want to change my wheels now, I have fallen in love with them but still will see what they say.

[ChrisJ]

Riska, those wheels are 16" Kershers with 40 profile tyres.

[Curran]

sorry to say but i dont like the new wheels at all. they look like an ugly set of hub caps to me. the ones you thought you had bought look better but still not to my taste.

the rest of the car is looking nice though and will look far better once lowered. 60mm will be a nice drop. most of your plans sound good as well :)

ads car is pure SEX. one of the best saxo's imo. just needs to remove that rear splitter ;)

[PugDan]

Got to be 60mm if your going euro.

[dannyjay]
