ValRado 0 Posted September 4, 2007 Hi all, I'm getting desperate for a set of wheels for my c, and the only new set I've found within my pricerange are these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/17-TSW-VOLCANO-WH ... dZViewItem whats your opinion of them? I would have liked some borbet a's but they are thin on the ground at the moment!! Thanks Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted September 4, 2007 5 spokers always look good on the Corrado... I think they'd look pretty tidy :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ValRado 0 Posted September 4, 2007 and 17"s wouldnt be too big? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted September 4, 2007 17's are certainly as big as you'd want to go on a Corrado. They don't ride as nicely as 15's (hence many folks going for 16's as its a good balance between the looks and comfort) but they should look pretty good. Offset, fitment etc all looks good for the Corrado. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bristolbaron 10 Posted September 4, 2007 You need to look further afield! I bought my A's from germany, as prices here are crazy.. set of 5 here if youre quick! http://cgi.ebay.de/5-Borbet-A-Felgen-9- ... dZViewItem or.. http://cgi.ebay.de/Borbet-A-Felgen-9-x- ... dZViewItem Theres loads about.. and dont be scared of buying in Germany, i'd much rather pay money into a German account than pay with paypal over here.. they seem to be much more trustworthy! The tsw's imo are too thin spoked, wont suit the rado. however, its all personal choice.. if you like em, go for it. Porsche wheels any good to you?... http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.p ... pic=105965 http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.p ... pic=106661 Good luck with whatever you choose..

Phil K 0 Posted September 4, 2007 I agree with what Jim has said about 5 spokes on the C but I'm just not feeling them I'm afraid... Now these would look damn good on a C in either 8x15 or 7.5x16/9x16 and IIRC will be in your price range (certainly the 15's) I am also slightly biased having a set on my Golf but they do look great on a C - will try and dig out a pic for you ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted September 4, 2007 There are also a rather nice set of RC's up for sale on here at £200.. they do need a refurb but they're one of the ultimate Corrado wheel choices IMHO! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ValRado 0 Posted September 4, 2007 Argh. this is going to do my head in! I dont want to shell out for some wheels that will look poo on the car! The tsw's look thinly spoked but in other pics the spokes look thicker from a frontal view! I'm looking at the german borbets, anyone translate/send for me? What are RC's?
