NickVR6 0 Posted May 14, 2006 Thanks to Mr Haywire :D I now have some new rims and some pucker stopping power. Wheels look like they really should have been the factory choice from the off imo, look so chunky but not obvious in photos. Ride quality is better than the 15s, which must be the Wire's choice of tyres. I've thrown in a pick of my short but sexy RH phase for old time sake :oops: :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted May 14, 2006 Nice. Those Speedlines are really doing the rounds on this forum! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NickVR6 0 Posted May 14, 2006 Cheers BC. The Speedlines suit the car absolutely perfectly in the flesh, just fill the arches nicely and look oem but very chunky. Already had 2 people ask me what they were since yest afternoon! Your right about doing the rounds and there is a little voice at the back of my head talking about shiney bigger wheels even when i bought them. Ideally youd have these and another spangly set, but its not an option financially! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trig 0 Posted May 15, 2006 They look rubbish. Sell them ASAP. ...Ooooonly joking! :lol: (well about the rubbish bit anyway!) They look great as expected as does the rest of the car. Interesting that you think the ride is better then with 15inch speedlines. Some nice pictures Nick. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NickVR6 0 Posted May 15, 2006 Jim/Trigg, I didnt say, but i have had another German ebay after a few beers type incident. I blame my problem on GradeAfailure, but i do have 4 bargain shiney things coming from germany again so who knows Trig, you may want to start harrassing me !! I would hate to loose these though, they are fabtastic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted May 15, 2006 It's the Rainsports that give the ride comfort :-) Limpet like grip, light weight and quiet/comfy.... I wish they didn't stick out past my arches as they look uber cool next to my compomotives.....but they serve a function rather than looking pretty :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrishill 0 Posted May 17, 2006 Might've been asked many times before, but how come the old wheels went? guessing he needed more clearance for the new brakes, which I 'think' is why kev got rid of them too! Looking good Nick, OEM with benifits! Still perfer the RH's but then I'm a tart ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
