Hello,

My brother has just fitted some new wheels to his Hyundai as his original wheels were looking a little worse for wear, so we decided to go and get some photos of it. Unfortunately we didn't have much success as firstly as Castlepoint we got asked to move on by security just as I had got the camera all set up correctly, so we only managed to get a couple of ok-ish photos, then when we got to the New Forest today it was horribly overcast and surprisingly busy, meaning we couldn't stop in the road for photos for very long.

Anyway, here's what we managed, I've included a couple of processed photos I've been playing with for fun.



Camera was too low on these but I didn't have time to reposition before security got rid of us!!!!

Fantastic photography and editing, not a fan of the wheels though...... but as I always say " each to their own"

Thanks, I took the photos, my brother drove. I love photographing cars. It was difficult due to the low light, but they came out ok.

I quite like the wheels and I'm not normally an after market wheel fan. I think they suit it. He had to replace his genuine Tuscani wheels as he hit a kerb in the snow and buckled it frown

I think it looks good. Try lowering it a bit.

Yes, it does need lowering. It looks good in the 3rd photo of the forest/ford set as it's going down the tip and the suspension is fully compressed. Needs to be that low all the time

Looks decent, quite like the wheels too - probably would look good painted black

Yes, me too. The wheels have transformed it!

The forest photos are taken in Linwood, New Forest. Opposite Myles Court private school, near Ringwood.

Nice pics, though not a huge fan of the Coupe to be honest.

nice photos, the wheels looked good and agree it needs to be lowered a few mm. Has your brother thought about removing the spoiler? i think they look better without it.

The New Forest, one of the nicest places in the UK. Nice photos, not a huge fan of the car but nicely done.

I've got one myself and love it. Really tasteful mods your bro has done there, with the clear indicators, tiburon badges and wheels but yeah I agree it needs a drop and maybe a slight tint.

Good photoshop! biggrin I had planned to give it a go but haven't had time.

Thanks for all the comments. Yeah, Castlepoint in the first photos.

He's been really happy with the car, just had the new wheels fitted and the 4 wheel alignment done and it handles really nicely actually. He's looking at selling it, he wants a quick Audi (takes after me), possibly an S3.

well spotted!

He's also got Tuscani and the Tuscani logo stitched into the seat headrests and Tuscani door sill protectors in chrome.
