Dark deep dished G60 maybe, going down towards cockett lights at 3:20 this afternoon in Swansea, waved as I passed.

I think cream/beige leather would go great in a red car.

Will probably stick to the 205 because it's the closest to the stock size fo the speedo etc. Plus there seems to be a much wider choice of tyres.Looking at the Kumho 39's for 270 fitted. Any advance on cheaper but must be local to me and my nearest black circle fitter is a place I wouldn't go to. ---------- Post added at 09:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ---------- Sorry for being dull but is that weight good or bad then?

Just measured one on the bathroom scales inside the box, so there's a little bit for the cardboard, plastic wrap and the bolts which are included, but it came in at 11.75kg.

Fitting blinds in the bedrooms tonight so no time. Maybe on the weekend I'll have a better look at it. I tried an online tyre calculator and think a 205/40 would be best. The rim is a 7 so the overall diameter should be virtually the same as the 215/50 on the 15s which are 6.5 inch wide.

Cheers, I'm super chuffed with them so far. As a wheel expert, any tips for prepping them prior to fitment? Do you give your's a good coat of wax or polish or a clay bar etc before fitting?

Really pleased with the one I've opened, will check the others over tonight. Also will peel the stickers off the spokes as they are only vinyl. Tried to do a "mock up" pic to get an idea of the look they will give me. Opinions sought (if you like them haha) but I've got to say I think they look ridiculous in a good way! :D

Love the wheels! Croeso, I'm from down South! -
I feel like it's Christmas Eve, I'll be in work tomorrow all day thinking "has he been?" about the parcelforce driver! Been waiting 6 weeks for them and REALLY can't wait much longer.

Another standard VR ;)

Mine had a dyno at stealth racing after the AMD remap, and the plot says 209bhp@5835rpm and 199lb/ft@5072rpm. No idea how accurate their rolling road is though???
-
The supplier emailed me this afternoon saying they had arrived in the UK but were GOLD! I wasn't happy and was about to pick the phone up when another email came through saying "ONLY JOKING!". Just need tyres now!

My only problem is I'm remoddelling my house and I'm skint so can't afford tyres at the moment haha. I'll have to do a mock up on a jack to see how they look until next month! -
Looks superb! I'd keep the 17's and get some 16's for the winter.

Delivery expected on Wednesday :)

Loving the winters, you going to keep them silver or change? I'd be tempted to go a little darker grey but not anthracite. My wheels are due to arrive from Speedline Italy Wednesday - can't wait to join the 17" club!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
This is going to sound completely off the wall, but I saw this car this morning on the way to work - was going to put a "spotted" post on tonight for a nugget car with white OZ Polaris! It was parked up by the Marquis Arms in Swansea, not a particularly rough part of the city or anything, and opposite a chap who has a really tidy silver Corrado (not sure if there is a link)...

No worries thanks for trying!
-

-
Agreed, I always have the fader biased up front
-
