[steve740]

Thinking pf getting a set of 17s for the beast soon so can people post their pics up of their own versions to give me some ideas please?! Thanks in advance, Steve

 

[ClioGav]

Not a proper valver but :rasp:

 

[steve740]

thats sweet mate

 

[ClioGav]

Ta, not running at the moment though :dapprove:

 

[steve740]

same with mine. up in ap developments at the mo in stan*s capable hands lol

 

[Jamie]

Max power-ish, 16's at most tbh, it will ruin handaling and will affect performance.

 

[Djw Dave]

15" all the way IMO

 

[C8DGY]

17" OZ Hydras mate,

For sale if your intrested pm me £350!

Or these league 17" alloys again £350!

Paul.

 

[steve740]

the only reason Im after a set of 17s I guess is just for the looks as long as its the right style of wheel. if I do get a set they will only be used in the summer.
Would be after a set of superleggeras or ultraleggeras in anthracite methinks

 

[Christopher]

17's look way to big for a mk1 imo

stick with what you have steve, it looks great

 

[lanky]

^^^Yeah I agree, but obviously it depends on the wheels.

 

[caymanr26]

do it steve - itll look wicked. Ive got 2 sets of Oz F1 cups if you fancy a set - would need tyres and a refurb but would look mint - the set im selling are anthracite as well mate!

 

[Daniel]

My mate had some Anthracite superlegs on his Red Valver. Looked wicked.

Drove like shite though!

 

[steve740]

ooohhh tim ya minx!! temptin me in as usual! wouldnt be able to have them just yet as I gotta keep my money for stan* to have my car back lol

 

[Scott]

Don't do it. My Williams 2 had 17's on when i bought it, didn't handle well, looked a bit chavvy and out of proportion for the car, scrubbed a bit on the front, they're just crap on small cars.

Looked and handled much better on the 15's.

 

[Bradharding]

^^ Mans right steve. Stick with 15's fella What's Stan doing with the beast up in AP?

Head gasket, new plugs and oil and filter change old bean. Still driveable at the mo but just wanted to get it done before it got seriously worse

 

[Nafoff]

don't do it

at the max go 16's, maybe turinis or oz's

 

[White16valver]

17's can look good, but it will drive like poo lol

 

[steve740]

don't do it

at the max go 16's, maybe turinis or oz's

anthracite turinis.............mmmmmmm!!!
good call old bean

 

[Nafoff]

its bone

i know i have good ideas......i pick up some new wheels tomorrow

to be continued.........

 

[steve740]

lol any hint on what wheels?

 

[Nafoff]

yep there round

i will be refurbing them myself, and they will probably not be to alot of peoples taste.

 

[steve740]

haha that narrows it down mate!

 

[ClioGav]

I must admit my car handles like s**t on 17's. Much much better on 15s with 195/45's But i love how mine looks at the moment, maybe when i put a bigger engine in i will go back to 15s or 16s

 

[steve740]

my old mk1 had 17s and that handled like a barrel.....always rolling! love the way the valver handles at the mo but just want the arches filled a bit more

 

[ClioGav]

It just doesn't seem as responsive on big wheels, it's a bit clumsy.
And when i hit a pot hole, christ on a bike!!

 

[Nafoff]

my old mk1 had 17s and that handled like a barrel.....always rolling! love the way the valver handles at the mo but just want the arches filled a bit more

lower it more then....

what size tyres you on?

 

[steve740]

195/50-15. The fronts being dropped 50mm soon but not sure what theback is lowered at. The previous owner lowered it

 

[Nafoff]

was gonna suggest 195/50's if you were on 45's but oh well

if you feel they need filling that much ireckon its got to be turinis

(may spot you when collecting my new wheels, am coming to cardiff)

 

[steve740]

is that tomorrow your coming down?

 

[ElmoMcTickleMe]

15's gotta be :approve: . 17's all show no go :dead:

 

[Nafoff]

is that tomorrow your coming down?

it is mate, meeting the other bloke at the bay area, going to watch the devils play, i will not be in the valver though...

1. my dad said he wouldn't go all the way to cardiff and back in it.....to noisey..etc....etc

2. i can't drive due to fooked arm

 

[steve740]

lol I dont get mine back until at least wednesday so wont be out and about anyways! godamn cars

 

[Nafoff]

unlucky, sucks don't it....

i can't drive for at least 2.5 more weeks

 

[steve740]

it'll soon go mate

hope all goes well collecting the wheels!

Steve - I just also happen to have a pretty much mint set of 16 inch turinis with tyres at the mo. havent decided whether to put them on my car or not yet - love my wheels at present but taking it on track occasionally this year so 16's might be a good idea - youll have to pop up when you get the car back
