In two minds weather to leave the "s" brakes on the car and run tens, or put the 12"s back on?
What do you think?

Car on 12"s

The wheels are currently wearing a set of A032Rs (was itended for the minus but, thats on hold for now.)
Will be loosing the bonnet stripes and the mirrors will be going black (soon hopefully)
Thoughts?
Cheers

Never thought I'd say this but I actually like the 12s, I don't think the 10s would work with the modern styling.

Thats what I thought, the 10's lok sweet as, but im not sre if they suit, or will fill the arches enough.
f I get a chance to get over to the car today Ill take a pair and if I can it off the ramp will fit them and post a pic.
Keep your thoughts coming!!

I'd have 10's over 12's any day but on that car I think 12's suit it best.

I always prefer 10's over 12's, but in the case of your car i think the 12's suit a lot more.

I think the 12"s look better, the 10"s look a little too small for the arches, and with the red at the moment reminds me of the A team van, lol.
If I stick with 12"s Ill be using my 8.4" brakes which im happy with the performance, the s set p havent bedded in yet, and the braking was a little scary with the 998cc.
