skid 1 Posted March 16, 2004 Like the wheels very much but it is the centre that puts me off them. You will have to tell us what the finish is like and send in a phootie when they are on the car :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest 0 Posted March 17, 2004 I personally like those wheels as well, one reason that I'm leaving mine on for the time being (silver ones): Only downside is that too many other Rados have them :lol: Oh well, might have sorted that problem: Swapping alloys with a German mate of mine, he's never seen the BK299s in Germany, I've never seen his Dezent 16" alloys in the UK, sorted ! :D Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest 0 Posted March 17, 2004 Oh, forgot to mention: The finish on these alloys seems a wee bit flakey (compared to other brands). I've had them on for 13 months, and the chromy bits around the outer ring are starting to flake off :shock: Then again, they're not badly priced for 17" alloys, you get what you pay for, I guess ...

CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted March 17, 2004 What wheels are they James? Price? They are PA(performance alloys) replicas cost me 710 pounds with rubber deliverd to my door..not bad me think :D But they have stopped making them now,and ive got the last two http://www.performancealloys.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chewys_vr6 0 Posted March 19, 2004 nice wheels, was looking at them myself but don't think I will bother now, to many around it seems. nevermind must keep looking :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve&Claire 0 Posted March 23, 2004 Yeah there are too many around, but that's because they are a very good wheel. My wife's car has them - yes alright I know it needs lowering (haven't got round to it yet). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted March 25, 2004 ive just put some 299's on my c and i have to say asmuch as i like them man there heavy it aint half taken some of the acceleration away :( I agree,they look the part but it doesn't handle or feel good on the road with 17",the stock 15"speedlines are fantastic wheels if a bit dull ....everybody to there own I suppose :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest 0 Posted March 25, 2004 there heavy it aint half taken some of the acceleration away I always had that sneaky suspicion comparing my G60 to my mates over in Germany, OK, he's done a lot to it, but still ... Does anyone know how much one of the BK299s weighs in Kg (sorry not being British I can't handle Stones or whatever :lol: )? Possibly worthwhile comparing that to some weights of 16" wheels, which I'm more and more starting to look at, planning on going Euro-look, i.e. deeeeep dish :D Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
