New wheels

[blakey]

Got some wheels off ebay, it was scott from S G motersport that was selling them so called round to his place last sunday to collect them and had a good look around his place. Fantastic workshop by the way. Did not really like the look of these wheels on other v6's prefer the standard ones but now i've fitted them to my car i think that they suit the black car better than other colours. Any way here is some pics.

Looking good Blakey, they really suit the black/gold :approve:

I picked my seats up on the Saturday and saw these wheels....very nice!

Your right about Scott's workshop it's like Aladdin's cave in there.

Halfords high temperature paint.

Don’t forget to do the horrible rusty bits on your disks.

4 x 17" fetch around £300

I'd imagine the Mk2 18"'s would make £500+ Atleast thats what I'd pay :approve:

Neat and tidy wheels.

[Carl Chambers]

Same wheels as mine

Same wheels as mine

What tyre pressure do you run mate.

 

[Carl Chambers]

Same as the originals, but my tyres are the same size as the originals

Yeh, looks better on black! What offset were the wheels? Spacers?

 

[blakey]

No spacers. Offset> Have no idea. All I know is the front are 8x18 with 215/35/18 and the rear are 9x18 with 255/35/18.

 

[Carl Chambers]

Again I have no spacers but my wheels are 8x18 front and back as I wanted both wheels to match, if you have 9x18 on the rear they are a slightly different design wheel!
Will look later and tell you the offsets.
