Wheely good :))

I think its just me who isnt a fan... i like them! I just prefer the standard wheels

I agree with the sentiment - sell those god-damn awful wheels! (to me!)

How much??

 

[GTTurbo]

Could well be up for a spin, give us a shout closer to the time pal! :approve:

Will do mate :approve:

 

[GTTurbo]

Ps sorry for lowering tone of the forum

:rofl:

 

[Jamesv6]

Oh and can you get locking wheel nuts of for this set up?

Yes you can James, i bought some for my scooby. You need to buy open ended 12 x 1.5.

Of course your mag wheels are safe as houses with 20 lock nuts.

Your car is absolutely stunning matey I'm loving every single mod you've done to it from the single wiper to the wheels, AWESOME!! :bow:

I like the Trophy wheels on a modified Vee very much (especially the signiature Illiad colour) and dare say that if a pair came up at a reasonable price, I might be tempted - although I did turn down a pair at one stage ...

What I like about the Vee though is that IMHO the stock wheels are hard if not impossible to beat, some cars just look 'right' with their OEM wheels and I think we probably all agree this of the Vee too So fair play to Mossy, Stevo, James and Phil for making their Vees different but if we all aspired to get Trophy wheels I am not sure the look would be right as again, IMHO, they suit a modified or unique car (there that's for you Sheriff) rather than a standard one with just Trophy wheels on.

Simply put a set of wheels will make or break the aesthetics of any car and i couldn't agree more about the phase 2 wheels suiting the vee so well. :approve:

BUT you know me, i am always messing with the vee in one way or another but i will only undertake mod's that can be easily be reversed back to standard, i will only change something using a replacement part, with all original parts safely stored out of harms way. (The spare bedroom normally ).

So if i was to ever change the wheel's on this legend of a car it would only be for a set of the Cromodora's, so the thought of buying aftermarket wheel's had never really entered my mind as the mythical trophy wheel's were ...... well mythical!! It was only a random pm on here that set my modding head into overdrive - a full set of trophy wheel's for sale, a price was set and the wheels were mine the following weekend :bow:

Initially i did question my reasons/sanity for buying them but the good lady wife said buy them, so i did!!!

And (as they say) the rest is history!!! LOL

So thanks again for everyone comments, im just glad i get so much pleasure out of the car and still get that lovely buzz everytime i see it/drive it- even after 5 years of ownership!!!!!

Mossy :race:

Glad you're still loving the Vee Mossy. I'm looking to hopefully make a few mods myself soon (would have bought your Prima Spoiler if I'd seen it earlier! :ihatepcs: )

After all, it was your car that inspired me to get my QS and PiperX back in Donnington when I first bought it!

 

[GTTurbo]

I remember it well Phil, got to be 3 years ago hasn't it??

I'm glad i inspired you - i take pleasure in knowing i am doing something right

Cheers matey

Mossy

 

[clarkeeuk99]

Yeah it's been just under 3 years now and still loving the car!

Can't wait to get it out of storage! I went to get it out this week for its booked MOT but the damn battery is dead! iolin: lol

 

[GTTurbo]

LOL .. Amazing feeling to drive the vee after its being laid up for 6 months or so, feels like a new motor again :approve:

 

[Rich]

The wheels and spoiler combination looks superb.

 

[Ali]

[RUSSO]

Must be something with the illiads Mossy!!!!!!! Put them away in winter and emerge in spring sporting a set of trophy wheels

Cars looking great mate :approve:
