what are your perfect wheels for a 'Rado and why? Disc

Recommended Posts

ummm... do I need to add in what my faves are? :oops: :lol: (I've just fitted a set of 8.5x17s to my Passat too.... can you say PHAT!?! 8) )

 

 

Borbet Cs... Clean, classy, reasonably light, excellent quality and a doddle to clean! :lol:

What i dont understand is the BBS LM Replicas are the same weight as most other alloys - Its only because the Real ones are light weight that makes them worth so much.

 

Yes the real ones are worth the money - but the Copies should be looked upon like any other alloys.

So they look good and are a good price, so unless weight is a problem with you then fook it lol

Either way, they gotta be 16" IMO. Then as for style - either Porsche or BBS - much like A1 VR6, whereas Furkz is getting a tad fussy with the splits; almost a problem with the original G60's. 15" are too small - ~hangs head in shame~

for those of us who dont have about £2000 to spend on some BBS LM's (thats most of us) i have found these alloys. ok they are not bbs's so

1, they will weigh more

2, they will not be as well made,

3, they are about £500 for the set of 4.

 

KADVR6, available in 4 AND 5 stud????

Henny, stick a picture up of you ssat mate

 

Excuse the "rally look" mud splatter... I'd had to drive into a field (somewhat quickly) to avoid a lorry squashing me after doing an emergency stop due to a major car crash on the road in front of me (someone flipped their car... :o ) The lorry driver behind me hadn't been concentrating (I reckon he was on the phone) and stopped about 4 feet into the space my car would have been in if I hadn't noticed he wasn't paying attention and that there was an open gate! :|

 

He was somewhat apologetic (and a damn site bigger than me) when I went and confronted him about it... ;) :oops: :lol:

 

Anywho, here's the pic on her new boots... 8.5x17 with 235 45 tyres... 8)

Lippy, I don't work for them anymore, they sold the station I work for (and my services) a couple of weeks ago... :| Rado is coming along... should be running again sometime soon, but my wedding's taking up all my time at the moment... only 24days of freedom remaining! :|

haven't read the whole thread, but my fave wheels for a C have always been Oz Cronos

 

They look like a larger (available in 16 and 17) version of the Speedline, but also have a smoother line to them, which makes them look more modern.

 

have always wanted a set, but they don't seem to ever become available, as they were discontinued a couple of years ago :(

now why did you have to go and do that Jon?!?!?! :lol:

 

£775 for the set is a little rich for me atm, plus I'd need rubber, thats my respray put back another couple of months.

 

suppose I could always sell the Sinfonia :oops:

If your on a budget (like me!) I dont think you can beat polished Estorils (see my sig!)

 

If money is no object then its gotta be BBS RS301's or anything by Keskin / Schmidt!
