Wheels n tires - £800

[keeno86]

I've been looking round for some KEI Pulse 17" alloys (yea i kno 17" blah blah ruins the ride etc) mayb true but i love the look of them. Anyways I've been offered a full set of these wheels with Pirelli P7000 tire's for 800 notes.
I know nothing about tires are these a reasonable set?
I'd like a decent set that wont wear out too quick and hav good amounts of grip in the dry n wet. opinions plz...

Cheers

800 is ALOT of money for alloys.

I assume that is brand new?

I would stay away from brand new alloys as you will lose SO much money on them.

yea there r brand new. im just trying to wight it all up coz it is alot of dosh :S

i think thats a lot of money to spend on alloys as you would have to lower it as well or it'll look daft. would you not be better finding some 17's off the meganne and lowering it coz it'd end up looking a lot better

 

[keeno86]

yea was planning on getting it lowered so it doesnt hav its arse in the air. the local car mod garage quoted me £1100 all in. for the 17" wheels, falcon tires, lowerin 40mm and window tints and throw in some lockin wheel nuts for good measure

Why don't you just get 197 17" wheels? more in keepin with the car, look better, better resale value for the car and wheels on there own , and change out of £800!

 

[Clio_Craig]

did u ask for pirelli's? coz i got a set of 17s with 205/40/17 falken ze something to give me extra clearance wen lowered

 

[keeno86]

rtec, just for the wheels n tires, quotes £728 with same falcon ze. for the same reason to, for better clearance.

Arent these 5stud, and a different offset? :S

If you fit 17's lower it 60mm, will look like a tractor otherwise (awaits people to moan and post pictures of their tractors not lowered enough on 17's, lol)

Halfords are selling their pro race 2's off cheap, a black set in 16" would look mint on yours...

 

[keeno86]

dont really like the look of those pro race, bit boring IMO.

Could one of the photoshop guru's put the below wheels onto a pic of my motor, seen Kei Force 10 and fallen for them a bit...quite like them in matt gunmetal

Cheers Dom
