rickya Posted December 15, 2006 Author Posted December 15, 2006 Well I have spent all bloody week in confusion over a set of 19"s -wheels only, no tyres (decided against 18"s after all that!!) that I was going to get for approx < £500. But I have now decided I dont like them, as they are 10 spoke & I want a five or 6 spoke design. These wheels were very very cheap & they were deep dish & staggered. I was also going to get Nankang rubber for £500. So all in it would have cost me under £1k for a set of 19"s with rubber! But cheap as they were I might as well wait for something else to come around that I really like even if it costs a little more money. Back to the drawing board eh Quote

Back to the drawing board eh Well if you are not 100% sure mate, it is best to wait until you find something that suits the car prefectly. Im very bad at that, I will just jump in on the first thing and then decide for something else, hence this time, i will be doing it all properly Quote

It'll cost you a grand for a cheap set but in 3 months when you decide you don't like them it costs another 2 grand to get the set you really like! It could be a false economy... Quote

Exactly. its what i did with the induction kit on my last car, I got a pipercross Viper for £175, then didnt like it so got an ITG Maxogen for £300. that was the nuts of all induction kits!!! Quote
rickya Posted December 15, 2006 Author Posted December 15, 2006 They were these: Ruff Racing 236 19/8.5 front & 19/9.5 rear (20mm offset all round, perfect offset IMO) What do you reckon?? These TSW Rockets were also availiable for under £500 in 19"s I really like these, but almost double the price..Ruff racing 279 [/img] Quote
Digsy Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 Check out the last North Wales drive out photos. I think Max has got the wheels you were looking at on his silver Roadster. I'm not really into wheels with that many spoke myself but I though his looked pretty good. Quote
Ian Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 I like the Ruff Racing 279. They would look great in black with a polished lip Quote
lomoto Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 Yes I like the 279, but with black center's (but then again I would ) Quote
Digsy Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 Yes I like the 279, but with black center's (but then again I would ) 12 mins - what took you so long! Quote

rickya Posted December 15, 2006 Author Posted December 15, 2006 Yeah theyr the ones Sarnie Cheers. As I thought they do look very nice & classy, almost the type you would see on an Aston /TVR or Alfa but I want a more aggresive look that IMO a 5 or 6 spoke design would give. Quote
