14"s or 16"s - Jukie88 - 16-04-2013
Right I have a decision 14" alley cats
Or 16" 3dsm's ?
Bearing in mind the front is 65mm low and the rear nearer 80 so will 14"s make the car too low ??
RE: 14"s or 16"s - 4WayDiablo - 16-04-2013
16's!
Or get them 14" ones in 15/16
RE: 14"s or 16"s - Niall - 16-04-2013
definitely the 3dsm's!!
RE: 14"s or 16"s - Pompey306mark - 16-04-2013
I want these 3dsm's wheels so much.
RE: 14"s or 16"s - Oil-burner - 16-04-2013
3dsm's are the shizzle!
14"s or 16"s - Jukie88 - 16-04-2013
Unfortunately the alleycats are 14" or smaller :-( but I do love the 3dsms and have only seen them in VAG's I want a set soooo bad but I've always wanted alley cats but dunno If they will be too small and make the car too low and look silly :-(
RE: 14"s or 16"s - puglove - 16-04-2013
14s will be wat too small
RE: 14"s or 16"s - Piggy - 16-04-2013

14"s or 16"s - Jukie88 - 16-04-2013

RE: 14"s or 16"s - Eeyore - 16-04-2013
3dsm's are everywhere atm
RE: 14"s or 16"s - Slam Wagon - 16-04-2013
3sdm's are already over done on the vag scene. Fresh on a pug though. Going to be tight with that ride height though.
14"s or 16"s - Jukie88 - 16-04-2013
I'm Intending to raise it a fair bit at the back I want abit of rake :-) my aim is a stanced ride im over the slammed look already it bores me and my spine and my sills and my sump !!!!
RE: 14"s or 16"s - bigcheez2k3 - 16-04-2013
I want those 16's!
RE: 14"s or 16"s - Chris - 16-04-2013
Seriously, 3sdms ftw. But don't buy them as you'll just be copying me :p mine are ordered and waiting on that phone call any day!
I've been after a 16" set for like 9 months since I knew they were going to do them.
Also to run those 16s looking decent you'll have to be close to 100mm on the front that's for sure.
Got my coils all the way down and they won't be remotely low enough.
RE: 14"s or 16"s - Slam Wagon - 17-04-2013
I think kd have to raise my ta coileys to run 16s. Only a little though. Unless you have painted on tyres.
RE: 14"s or 16"s - Chris - 17-04-2013
Balls to that, mates got 9s in the front of his 195 45 tyre with like 15mm of thread and its still around 10mm too high.
With 8's which what these are and a 40 profile (as there will be no strech with a 45) tyre you'll need even more lows or be arch gap will be stupid.
RE: 14"s or 16"s - Kezzieboy - 17-04-2013
How much are a set of 3SDMs anyway? £ra*e.99?
RE: 14"s or 16"s - Pompey306mark - 17-04-2013
£500 odd on eBay.

Hehehe I maywell still get them :-P decided against the alleycats and have seen a set of split rims which I've not seen on any 306 yet :-) that's an option replacing the alleycats I think I'm gunna get the car raised to 60 at the back 70 mm at the front and look into some spacers so the wheels are super flush :-D I want the stanced look !!!
RE: 14"s or 16"s - cwspellowe - 17-04-2013
Dude do NOT get the 3SDM's, they're so overplayed and tbh not even that nice. Can't stand the sight of them any more...

This man speaks sense. Don't jump on the 3SDM band-wagon with all the other "trendfags"
They are two a penny ATM and that ruins the awesome look
14"s or 16"s - Jukie88 - 17-04-2013
Yeah but its all in the VAG scene having a set on a pug will be a first :-) and I think will look shit hot

Your choice at the end of the day. You'll just get loads of comments that it's trying to be a VW then though.
I got it with the XXR's and bolt-ons. Apparently I was trying to turn it into a drift car/Impreza. Makes you just think "oh stfu"
RE: 14"s or 16"s - TomLum - 17-04-2013
I dont think there that common! They seem to be getting a bit more publicity atm but im yet to see them on a car in the flesh! Pro race 1.2 are a good example of a common wheel.

But pro race 1.2s are a practical alloy. They sre popular due to the weight of them. 3D's are becoming common because the whole VAG scene is one shepherd and a whole flock of sheep...
Break the mold and go for something unknown IMO... but that's all it is. One opinion

They're getting more common because companies offer them with tyres and on finance, even with fitting kits. A guy here I know is only 20 and still a student and even he bought them. One set for his Bora, and now he's after a set for his Impreza.
There's a whole world of possibilities out there, personally I think it would be more of a statement to do something balls out.
But again, my opinion, tizz all.

Surely that's part of the modifying lifestyle ?? Hater always gunna hate I gotta admit I'm a vw enthusiast and I still love the 306 and think alot of the wheels the vw and Honda group use would look amazing !!!
