Fiesta ST-3
Wow, looks ace! This just proves that less is more.
More poke than viagr
Cheers mate, yeah was quite amazed i got that tbh!
Bored of my wheels now, had them nearly 6 months so time for a change i think.
Got my eye on some of these
But with silver centers18" SSR formula mesh reps
More reps, deary me.
You're still stuck with s**t quality wheels, just in a design that you like
I don't see why people are so scared of buying proper wheels 2nd hand .
Plus, you've spent good money on a Nardi and Brides, yet won't pay for the real deal when it comes to wheels. :S I'm not having a go, just seems so daft to me but whatever.

I'm curious...never understood...but why is this the standard response when replica wheels are mentioned?
Is it a CS rule I've missed?
No, I just don't support ripping off designs, and neither do a few others on here.

If they were genuinely ripping the original manufacturer/designer off...they'd not be permitted to sell them surely? Are replica wheels illegal as in being counterfeit goods?
I don't know the ins and outs of counterfeit law, but look at a set of rota grids and a set of volk te37s. Exact same shape, the volks are real, the rotas aren't.

I understand completely where your coming from, but if i was to buy a set of genuine BBS LM-R's, firstly they are only made in 19" and 5x130, and secondly they are roughly £4000 for a set!!
And as for buying second hand wheels, i always buy second hand, these being the only exception. But even buying second hand, it is still cheaper to buy reps than reals ones.
If i had enough money to buy real ones, then of course i would, but this is the only option available to me now. Its either reps that look like good wheels, or s**t wheels that look like s**t wheels lol

Not real, as in you buy them and just get an empty box?
FFS, am I the only one on here who gets tired of the whole CS wheel/seat/whatever snobbery on here.
People buy what they like, at a price they are willing to pay. If everyone could afford £4k for a set of wheels, they would probably be driving something more expensive in the first place IMO.
Have to say Tom, i cant say I am a fan of everything you have done with this (or you did with the Clio before), but it seems to be heading in a more acceptable direction now anyway.
You know exactly what I mean.
It's not really snobbery. Would you buy Noke trainers? Or Adidos? A Rolecs watch? A vacuum made my Dysen?
Pretty sure the rotas have a habit of f**king up. No idea on others.
More poke than viagr
No, but then paying £60 for a pair of genuine trainers is completely different to paying £1000 for wheels.
I also know plenty of people with Rota's and never heard of a wheel failing.
Anyway i dont want to turn this into a thread about who's got the money to buy real things or not so lets just leave it.

Matt his isn't a turbo BTW but if you interested in a Turbo my mate who lives in Warrington has one. He bought it when he was 18 and the insurance was £4500 a year with 1 years NCB, but when he tried it on the family house in Wales it was £2500 so he insured it there instead. Drank juice like nobodies business.

That exhaust will look shocking and glad you didn't go for those wheels, mesh type really wouldn't suit a scoob

Mattb.SHED
Yeaaah I was hoping to get a 172 in Feb when I'll be 19 with 2 years no claims, would love a scooby or old BMW as I love the hellaflush scene etc... just insurance is such a killer
I hear Dyssen's have a really good suction.

Oh haha yeah but... the price is higher.. basically this is how it is.. I owe my dad 1K LOL! My mates offered me 2K for mine and theres loads of E36s for 1K then I can give my dad the other grand
Phase 1 Clio 172
