No, no way of telling for sure. If it's got no history, it's never going to have proof of the belts being done.
Buy it and break it. Only way it's worth any money.
You can't.
The only way to do it cheaper is to do a custom job yourself, but judging by the op, you don't really know what you're doing with it. So I wouldn't touch it.
Get it done by someone else or buy an engine that is already turbo'd.
You'll get 50 profile tyres so the arch gap will be more or less identical.
Please don't bring up the 15's are better argument again! Lol. They are better, in every way.
Pro race are pretty light, 5.6kg in 7x15 iirc? As warren said though, quality isn't great. I was going to get these but decided against it because of the poor finish.
This was my worry... I'm just hoping they're expensive enough to price out the chavs.
Op, Listen to struggler mate. You can buy some second hand 15's in good condition AND buy some cheap coilovers for the same money as a set of 17's. Surely that's a winner?
I was going to say, if they sell it in halfords, it's s**t. But they seem to have upped their game a bit recently. My local one now stocks o.z Ultraleggeras!
To be honest, ride quality/ handling wise, there's not a lot to tell between them. If you want the drop, get sportlines, if you don't, get pro's.
I don't think you'll like the look of it on prolines after having apex springs on.
That equation is far too long for me to remember! Lol. I was going to just post a link to the website but figured peole wouldn't read all of that.... There's pages and pages and pages of it.
That's where I took it from ;)
