Nice. I like RXs.

 

6 weeks? Where'd you order them from? Halfords?

 

I phoned topgear the other day and they can get me 4 x BBC RCs at £990 with tyres inc VAT, within 7 days direct from the BBS factory.

 

6 weeks is shocking. Looks like the wait was worth it though.

yeh they where from halfords had a lot of problems getting them, they cost £840! 6 weeks!! i know! the amount of times i phoned them.... must have been over 20 times in the last month! it was worth the wait! i fitted them last night after work at 10 pm! :D

Are they 17s? I have the same set on my valver, great looking wheels they really suit the corrado.

 

what drop is on your car ? 40mm?

 

What rubber did you go with?

[biggerbigneil 0]

Very nice! I thought about those wheels also, your car reminds me of someones? black, red badge, yellow indicators, 90mm chin spoiler, hmmm I like it!

Mike thats gorgeous. What suspension are you running

[Shaggy 0]

Thanx!

 

i am running at 60 mm lowered at the moment on standard shocks! soon to be upgraded :) i was thinking of getting some coilovers but i think it sits nicely as it is at the moment. I was quite surprised that there was absolutely no rubbing at all so i could go a bit lower?? overall i love the look just gotta sort out a few other engine mods and i will be even happier!!

Well Done

its definately running on 17s and its lowered 60mm according to the springs, tho i have kept the standard shocks would this impact the ride height making it higher?? in the long run i am going to get a set of coilovers anyway once i finished with the engine mods etc! :D

[Shaggy 0]

Tidys up the rear a little me thinks! :D

[Neil L. 0]

What springs are u using mate? Im running H&R's(with Koni TA's) but only has 30mm drop :( - doesn't look as good as yours!

[cymru-corrado 0]

that car looks mint mate, just leave it as it is.

i'll through my hat in the ring and say they are 17's on 45 profile tyres?

[billinjah 0]

lovely looking car mate great paint hopefully my paint will look as good soon!

[benkenobi57 0]

they are sweet looking wheels on a cool raddo

how is the ride and road noise on 17's im thinking of new wheels but was considering 16' because i was adviced that 17' would rub and make the ride poor??

[Shaggy 0]

the rides not too bad actually, the only thing i have noticed is that the speedo is slightly out compared to the 15s, i ve just taken delivery of some FK coilovers as my shocks are shot, so i might get it to sit a little lower!

 

Pics coming Soon!!!
