joinerboy 0 Posted December 14, 2008 Im now in the market for some new 16" rims and iv seen some i like. as everyone has different opinions i was wondering what do you think? they are MO Competition 6 Spoke. i have a black VR6 so i am debating whether to get black or white alloys? also they come in different sizes: from 16x5.5, 16x6 etc up to 16x8. which would offer the best ride? from looking through different threads i think they have good 4 pot clearance so that fits in with my plans for big brembo brakes :D any feedback negative or positive is welcome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted December 14, 2008 They'll look cracking on a VR, and it'll look hard as nails if they're black as well like the car! 16x5.5 would look ridiculously thin though.. you'd probably want around 16x7.5 I think for best looks / ride quality.

junkie 0 Posted December 14, 2008 Love those wheels, been motorsport wheels they will give good clearance for motorsport [read big] brakes, personally not a fan of most black cars and wheel combo, needs the right wheel to pull it off, 16 x 8 too with standard offset should have it looking PHAT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAG-hag 0 Posted December 14, 2008 get em in mat black!! MEAN!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigTartanJudge 0 Posted December 14, 2008 Will look good I reckon and especially in black. Will be plenty of room for Brembo's or other similar big brakes too. 7x16" will be sufficient for brake clearance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JMC 0 Posted December 15, 2008 I have black 5 spoke MO's (16") on my black G60. Look really good with red Porsche callipers behind them :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BILLCOR 1 Posted December 15, 2008 i got a quote from performancealloys.com for the wheels. £1100 16X7 (black)including Toyo tyres is that good or is it worth looking around a bit more? any recommended places to shop? Shop around, you'll get them cheaper than that They seem a bit cheaper here > http://www.smartwheels.biz and you can always source your own tyres, Toyo's are cheap from Blackcircles and Camskill Performance, around £200 for 4 delivered :wave: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JMC 0 Posted December 15, 2008 Worth checking with Compomotive themselves - I bought mine directly from them... And as Billcor says the Toyos can be had pretty cheap from places like Blackcircles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted December 15, 2008 Compo's are still not that cheap direct and TBH there pretty heavy for a motorsport wheels. Saying that I want a set of TH2's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joinerboy 0 Posted December 16, 2008 thanks JMC i tried compomotive direct today(i never thought of doing that) £650 for the alloys only. so that is saving me 177 quid already. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JMC 0 Posted December 17, 2008 Glad to be of assistance :D They will make them in custom offsets as well. I had mine made so they sat 5mm further out in the arches, so filling them better without needing spacers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
