so this is gonna be low...

but so friggin cool! got too dark to finish up the front

Very nice. Dad drove us from Scotland to London in one. Then two decades later put on a rwd braking/weight transfer clinic on one he was putting through MOT for a customer. Not as much fun as a Riva but an elegant country lane charger nonetheless. 

Needs more low

In reply to yupididit :

i REALLY want some enkei 92's or similar, time will tell.

In the mean time, who wants to do a poll!? all of these wheels are somewhat close to me and I want to get some cool wheels to finish up the exterior look. I'm kinda torn on what to get

Option 1: Cool gold wheels

Option 2: Funky retro lookin stuff, ugly yet cool

Option 3: traditional lookin multispokes

Option 4: 13" version thats very similar to the ones i want.. tire sizes will be scary

https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/bbs-felgen-4x100-bmw-vw-opel/837236707-223-11012

Option 5: neat-ish e30 wheels

If you dont want to do the poll but like looking at wheels, cool wheels... the bolt pattern is 4x100.

I AM willing to spend a little money on cool wheels an WANT to pull the trigger soon. this search link will pull things relatively close to me. I know i do this sometimes but its late and im gonna help a buddy out tomorrow. Thanks for finding any cool wheels if ya do!

What's wrong with the wheels?

I bought a Holden Gemini when I was in New Zealand in the Mid-90s that looked alot like that.  Mine was a right hand drive 5 speed manual.  It took a little getting used to for me.  I like what you are doing with yours!

theyre ugly imho. i found some turbo ronal wheels semi local, i think they would look neat! here are my poor photoshops of the two

Enkei 92s

Turbo Ronals

Lastly the two choices plus stock all side by side

Enkei92's in gunmetal instead of gold. But, gold works too.

Wantanabe 8 spokes would look great. 

Back needs to come up a little. Has that dog dragging its but look. 

I hadn’t thought of the wasabi wheels, those are GOOD!

imho I don’t think there’s much to fix that. I bought springs from what the locals call a reputable company (kaw is the brand). Even on stock springs it has that look, in the before pic I posted the fronts have a couple coils cut out. (i'll post some from the day i got it to show you) I had issues putting them back in with the limited tools I had at the time. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that it has the smallest motor available to the chassis but it’s a complete and total W.A.G.

youre right though, front can come down a little bit ;)

dog dragging its butt, California lean. same same LOL

thanks man! i appreciate it! trying to make something look good for the first time in my life!

Looks good lowered.

Turbo Ronals get my vote.

Lowering the front would work. Put a level on the door sill or on the bottom of the rocker and adjust accordingly.
