Another AE86, Duracell. Now with VEMS, and cage...
Hi all

I'm currently in a phase of doing complete bodywork.
Didn't have any doubts yet, many will follow as soon as I come to the engine Wink but for now i need some opinions.

How do you think Sparco Cromodora 15x7 would fit on AE86 hatch ?

Here is the pic of rims:

I would certanly repaint them to dark grey (aka titanium/gunmetal) or black.

But.. i think they would look to race/rally, which is not really hachi style, IMHO at lease.

What do you think ?

p.s. current condition of AE86.

Thanks for opinion.

I presume i would paint them in silver, or black.

It looks like this:

IMO black rims only fit the hachi when having a panda paint scheme...

depends on the style youre going for. the car would end up looking like a very mild modern street/daily look. something like that i would probably run on 195/45s, for the look. dont know what it would handle like with those tyres though.

I gave up those tyres.

Price, condition and build quality were really tempting but style is definetly not AE86.

Thanks for help.

You could say. GM sunset orange, auch. But me like it Smile

He is missing side mouldings, little "boring" looking like this, will be much better with orange lines across sides Smile
