[dansam]

I dunno if i can live with the wheels ive got at the mo so been looking at some options. i found these and they are fairly cheap to.
Just after some feedback from you guys about what you thought and whether they suit it.

Chris has got a set of those silvers on his 21 and I think they look goooooooooooooood...

 

[dansam]

they kinda look like some comps i used to have on my cossie!

 

[danb]

I think they are the same wheels...

 

[dansam]

thanks for that Dan

Yep, chris's wheels look spot on....gotta get back to Alps....awesome roads...!!

I take it you're not loving the "boggie" wheels then...how's the car coming on...??

 

[dansam]

No im not feeling the love even after 2 colour changes lol

currently steel in colour View attachment 1654

I think they look ok....but that's looking at a photo & not in the flesh....
You'd sell with ease if you decide go that route....
Why not run them over the winter & then get some fresh wheels in the spring....???

 

[dansam]

Well they're for sale as of now lol
Cars going in for a re-spray in a couple of weeks so it'll be staying in the garage for most of the winter.

I've still got these in the garage - they fitted over brakes with only a 5mm spacer - they're 8" wide so you'd need to "trim" the metal lip on the top of the rear arches to fit......on the plus side there's no spigot rings to worry about as they're an exact 21 hub fitment........
Would be open to offers or maybe swops.....

:sneakiness:

 

[DaveL485]

Ow much....or swap for what?

 

[jonboy21t]

I gonna use the money to fund my front mount intercooler project........so i'd swap you for a cooler like Lee's or the price of a cooler......:cheerful:

How about one like i've got on the Quadra? I can lay my hands on one of those right now.

 

[jonboy21t]

Sorry Dave, that's way to large for my needs....I want a stealth one not a massive one....
Give us a ton & you can have rims & I'll buy the cooler as fitted to Lee's phase 1 & everyone's happy...
