New wheels for the Monaco, thoughts?

[MonacoDan]

So I picked these up the other week off eBay for £26, they were originally going to be my track wheels but after test fitting today I'm not sure weather to refurb and use them as road and track as I quite like them, they're ATS DTC superlights 7x15 et35. Also would be good if anyone has some pics of 195/50/15 on cooksports.
C+C welcome

I think they look pretty nice, will be better judged with a tyre obviously as they look quite small as they are.

£26???? Really? Each??? What a bargain. You sure you haven't missed a 0 of the end?

£26 for all 4 :rasp:
The description on eBay was awful so I'd say it didn't attract many people but I decided to take a shot on them.

Thats unreal mate what a bargain. Good work pal. I think they will look good if car is lowered enough on say some cooksports if your just wanting springs.

Its currently on cooksports with cup shocks but my only concern was that the wheels may look too small compared to 16" and I don't really want coilovers as I drive some pretty bad roads to work every day.

At that price you can't go wrong!

imo that look alright, although they do look very small but that's probably just because there is no tyre

That's an absolute steal! They are rare too..

Really? I've only been able to find 1 clio with these fitted but they were multi stud fitment.

Matt has just purchased some for his hill climb 172, funnily enough it's also a Monaco.

Having seen it on Sunday, it's lovely..

May be the ones you are referring to though as they are multi-stud fitment.

 

[MonacoDan]

That's the one! I'm surprised there's not more about, they are incredibly light and apart from the gash centre caps they actually look alright.

I agree, I think it's just down to the fact they were hard to get hold of, they are priced well too for the quality of the wheels.

I run 15" pro race 2 wheels and mine is only lowered on springs and looks good imo!!! I think you would be fine. Get a tyre on a try again.

Bargain!

If you wanted to buy those wheels new (and in a specific fitment rather than multi like I have), you'll be looking at £1300 for a minimum order of 8. I think you can call that a bargain!

£26?! Serious?! Bargain!!

on Bilstein B14´s

195/50R15

Refurb and use them as road wheels!

 

[FuzzyDuck]

Why can i never find bargains like those!? They look pretty good and as said above, you cant go too far wrong for £26.

 

[imprezaworks]

£26 for four? How? Good find though mate

I think they will definatly be refurbed and used daily now.

I've been offered some slightly used 195/50 road legal track tyres for £20 each from a local Motorsport company so hopefully I can get these on soon.

Coilovers set roughly to Cooksport spring heights- still testing!
