I understand lol. Tbf it's not my cup of tea, but then Wolfrace wheels aren't a lot of folks cup of tea on here either. Nor are showcage's etc. But it's my car lol.

The wheels look awesome mate, I'm sick to death of seeing the same old shit everyday now, loving what you've done with the clear headlights also.

Well, the angle you took the picture at does you no favors try raising the camera a bit and the car will look lower and give a better indication of how the wheels and arches sit...and then people can pass judgement.lol

Love the wheels as a look, but would have gone a little smaller, prob 14" to get a better 'tuck' but otherwise a really nice car mate

Cheers for the comments everyone,
The wheels will be changing colour in a couple of weeks,
I also found out from the previous owner of them, they are actually 15x9.5 at the back, with 15x8.5 at the front!, So that would explain the poke!
Also dale had sold all the bits now, already started to rebuild his car again,
Iv had the interior and the FK coils from him.
Andy

Quality interior you got there... Was looking at it myself but the saxo isnt staying long so thought against it.
Dales rebuild is going to be actualllly mental.

I'm sorry but your going to ruin an awesome I terior putting it in a shit car
red and tan is a horrific combo IMO then white wheels don't match in either
aswell as the odd black spoiler and mirrors and gold stickers on the windows
I'm all up for being different
but pick a direction to take the car
IMO banded steels are part of the rat scene and should stay there that intrior is very much in the lux part of the euro/cleaned/ect scene and your car doesn't fit either
just starting to look like your trying to hard to fit in everywere like
as for stance as said by blackvtrt it's illegal
lee had 9s for his saxo and the poke was 40mm that looks similar and if a copper takes a dislike the arguement of the treads not showing isn't going to help as there's one stating 30mm as a maximum so even playing loopholes in the law your about 10mm past it
plus how you've sat that I can pretty much guarantee the rear arches are going to get pushed off the first time you find a bump in anything over 10mph
IMO a saxo shouldn't have more than 8s all round maybe 7.5 up front due to track width differences front and back but 9s IMO is too far
Then again in the late 90s 18s were classed as too far so people fitted 20s
it's a case of it's your car and your going to build how you want
but if your outside the box then be prepaired to get comments about it all
I'm expecting some shit when people see what I've in store for one of my cars it's what goes hand in hand with being different
still though really don't like the way you've gone with this
it needs more of a theme and carry it through the car not different colours everywere

With all due respect, Yeah i expected a mixture of comments, if didnt want peoples opinions and comments i wouldnt keep updating the thread would i?
If you read further down, iv said the wheels will be going a different colour for one,
The black spoiler is temp until i can find a wicked red one, as for the tints/stickers they will be removed in due time, So dont assume the car is staying like this forever, if you still hate it when its finished, by all means say what ever you like about it, I know its your opinion and i respect that. Thanks.

i love the banded steelies. Mental wideness on them. wouldn't do it myself personally becuase of the po po but i love the way they look. i'd keep the white tbh but maybe do something like the checker squares or some sort of pattern around the dish?
