true. my old 172MKII had aftermarkte rims and everyone thought they were 17`s due to the spoke size and thin rim, yet the turinis almost look like 15`s for some reason.
i like those ktec ones, but how much lighter are all these wheels than the turinis ? and really, how much better looking ...
changing the CC of your car is practically the only mod insurers dont like. obviously engine swaps are up there.. could be wrong green light may allow this.
what power hikes are we talking for a 2.2 bottom end ? price.
is white hard to keep clean i.e if they get a wee bit dirty do they look like cheapo nova alloys ??
btw those prorace are really lightwheels but i have to say they do look a bit nova. you can buy them in my local halfords im not kidding but hey saving a few kg`s on unsprung weight is always...
shame they dont do a 16.5" wheel. 17`s look a bit too big and 16" a bit too small.. 16.5" would be perfect imo. in fact 16.5 x 8 would look phat without being ott.
drool...
the reason i need the back doing it that if you look at this pic:

there is a round black thing with wires coming out.. my missus has only let me get the back seats out so when we get a dog like she wants (a rottweiler of all...
are they the turinis powerdercoated white ?? they look like it. 16`s aswell..
its cheaper to get a new paint on them than buy some ultra light wheel in white and get all the balancing done again etc so i think im gonna do.
white wheels really do look mint on a cup.
cheers folks.
managed to get them out weighed it all up 15.5kg`s !! in theory that should make my 1020kg cup 1005kgs lol
went out for a drive and feck me that has made it feel even quicker you can hear the exhaust fumes exit sound a bit like jet thrust.
must be close to 6secs to 60 now.
anyways im...
ive had a good look, i have base seats out, the bar at the back but the final thing seems like one tiny star socket screw holding the seats down in the middle grr its the only thing i dont have.. will halfords have any ?? did you say its 17mm for that one
i have removed the bottom seats but how do i get the back part of the seat out. there is a bar with two bolts in does this need taking out
ohh i have a cup
appreciate any quick answers
foook ! how can i get one then ? apart from breakers yard which i dont know where one is local to me.
***** why is it everything i do on my car turns out to be an arse ache.
anyone got any pics of a 172cup on white wheels. ive seen one on 17`s in the gallery but the dont look like turinis for some reason though they probably are.
more pics the better. although every gunmetal/anthracite cup pics ive seen look minta, everyones going dark but i think the cup would...
how come all these euro tuners seem to get really cool fat tyres without them being tractor like in height ?? also how come they always get the wheels either flush or sticking out of the arches.. none of us do this other here ??
is it spacers or wider alloys ??? does it improve handling as it...
i work on "flow dynamics" as you put it, your spot on though the mate the air resitance of that exact material is a contributing factor to another 2.2% downforce at 16 spindles per mile. this also contributes to the peacock theorem about power to wind ration and thermal patterns.
