rickya Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 Well I have spent all bloody week in confusion over a set of 19"s -wheels only, no tyres (decided against 18"s after all that!!) that I was going to get for approx < £500. But I have now decided I dont like them, as they are 10 spoke & I want a five or 6 spoke design. These wheels were very very cheap & they were deep dish & staggered. I was also going to get Nankang rubber for £500. So all in it would have cost me under £1k for a set of 19"s with rubber! But cheap as they were I might as well wait for something else to come around that I really like even if it costs a little more money. Back to the drawing board eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to the drawing board eh Well if you are not 100% sure mate, it is best to wait until you find something that suits the car prefectly. Im very bad at that, I will just jump in on the first thing and then decide for something else, hence this time, i will be doing it all properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll cost you a grand for a cheap set but in 3 months when you decide you don't like them it costs another 2 grand to get the set you really like! It could be a false economy...

Exactly. its what i did with the induction kit on my last car, I got a pipercross Viper for £175, then didnt like it so got an ITG Maxogen for £300. that was the nuts of all induction kits!!!

rickya Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 They were these: Ruff Racing 236 19/8.5 front & 19/9.5 rear (20mm offset all round, perfect offset IMO) What do you reckon?? These TSW Rockets were also availiable for under £500 in 19"s I really like these, but almost double the price..Ruff racing 279 [/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Check out the last North Wales drive out photos. I think Max has got the wheels you were looking at on his silver Roadster. I'm not really into wheels with that many spoke myself but I though his looked pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickya Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 Yeah theyr the ones Sarnie Cheers. As I thought they do look very nice & classy, almost the type you would see on an Aston /TVR or Alfa but I want a more aggresive look that IMO a 5 or 6 spoke design would give.
