Re: Wheel upgrade or is it madness?

There's a handy script from one manufacturor here:

they've got a rover 600, so you can see what the various wheels look like.. quite like the R38 or R39s.

Bigus

yeah they are nice wheels.. you're right, that is white and too bright for the 600, but the "tinted silver" on the GTs looks that little bit too dull for my liking... hmmm

Didn't Nom buy those off Bigus in the first place?

Douglas

No, Lordy did. Nom's came from the local boy racer emporium.

Too many alloy wheels.

Too many TIs.

Hot damn. (c:

Douglas

You know what oversupply means. One of these TIs could be your next car!

Indeed. Incidentally, not many people seem to be replying to this thread . Do you think the deliberate vulgarity in the first sentence put them off, or is it because I have terrible taste in wheels, perhaps? ;-)

Bigus

i didn't like the current wheels or the previous wheels or the wheels on the link LOL so sorry mate maybe you do have a bad taste in wheels?

good set of 5 spokes should do it if you find the right design! don't get narrow spoked ones though unless your gonna get bigger brakes as it'll look silly :)

But the Celica (when the tyres wear out) is getting set of something in white, either Oz Superturismo WRC in White, Compomotive TH3's or a decent white chunky tarmac 5 spoke, unless rare rims have some nice from Rota in a 17" in white.

Yeah, the R39 does look quite good. Shame it isn't white though.

For £150 :D

(two tyres were shafted though, so they cost me about £250 in total)

Eugh, both have way too many spokes !

If you're looking at multispoke rims, then BBS-style 18" jobbies are your only choice really.

Multi-spokes are generally the best looking rims available, if you're after a 'classy' look.

But - as Bigus implies - they're a bugger to keep clean...

Yup, precisely.
