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 :yawn:

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

Wait! It's worth waiting. 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... B)

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

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. :)

 

These:

Not a great photo of the rims but you get the idea.

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.

 

you gotta go with these then Ricky :teeth:
