Alloys

[Steveold]

Im thinking to myself I need some new alloys for my 1.2 16v... It aint got no power so might as well make it look good eh... I really like the OZ wheels on the CUP but what you lot think? I found a place that will do them new with tyres for £700........

 

[Dansta]

they are not ozs btw, they are speedlines

 

[Steveold]

Really? Oh.... I thought they were OZ....... OH well....

 

[Steveold]

Well that style of alloy

 

[Steveold]

Superleggera - Race Silver
The highest technology directly from F1 to the street, Extremely light; weight 7j x 15" - 4.9Kg. Race Silver finish, Multispoke.

How much do the 16" weigh?

 

[RobFenn]

Was thinking of getting 16s of those wheels, thinks its 5.6kg

 

[Steveold]

Can you get them for cheaper than 700?

 

[RobFenn]

750 at wheelbase with tyres

 

[Tom]

[RobFenn]

the five spokes they do are better, those look nice but when actually on a car theyre not so good

Well done steve, great prices on that site. The forged versions are £1800! jesus!

[JillyB]

Yes KDF they are lovely, the only problem is that quite a few other people like them too!

 

[Steveold]

[RobFenn]

Couldnt clean them every week! Gotta love the 5 spokes

 

[Ren16v]

Got the toora 8 spokes on mine 16"theyre sweet had the ozs too but they where 15" looked good but the design of the wheel makes them look small IMOA JillyB have you got them on yours?

 

[SoLow]

Halfords have 20% off at the mo, might be worth a look.

 

[GR7]

What colour is your car Steve?

Personally I love the Super Tourismos, but if you think they are too popular or dont want multi-spokes, how about these Boss wheels?

I really think that small hatchbacks suit five spokes better than most other wheels and these are lovely. A bit like the Khan RSS which has six spokes.

Yeah halfords 20 per cent discount is tempting at the mo.

 

[GR7]

Halfords wheels are often much more expensive to begin with than specialised wheel places, which you can often bargain with, unlike Halfords!!
