mtc R32 0 Posted August 4, 2006 Has anyone seen a set on VW Santa Monica alloys on a Corrado ???? I've always thought they were a lovely looking rim!!!! Just wondered how they'd look on a Corrado with stretched tyres... Anyone got any pics ??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 4, 2006 Here you go mate......had my eyes on these a while back too, but they corrode too easily... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KADVR6 0 Posted August 4, 2006 i was temted by these a while back, if you want some mtc R32 i have a mate who will be selling a set very soon, £250 with 215/45/17 avon/dunlops, so you will need tyres, but the 4 tyres on them are nearly new, so flog them on afterwards. :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtc R32 0 Posted August 4, 2006 Nice one Kev... yeh know what you mean about them corroding, but saying that I had them on My Mk4 gti for 3 years and they had no problems with them!!! Guess its a case of keeping on top of them with washing and polishing... I'm very impressed with the way they look... Cheap enough these days too!!! Must be quite a light weight wheel for you to be looking at them Kev.. :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 5, 2006 I don't know what they weigh tbh, I wasn't overly concerned with weight back then! :-) The average weight of a strong 17 is 10Kg. Light ones vary from 7 to 8.5Kg but look for flow formed wheels if they're light as they're much stronger. AFAIK, only BBS and Speedline flow form..... the Turini and RC are 8) Flow forming is where they spin the molten alloy in it's mould to compact the molecules tighter together for extra strength..... By and large, if a wheel looks heavy, it is heavy! My Oettingers being a classic example of that....they're 10.5Kg! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
