Alloy Wheels.. Pics needed !

Post by colinmac » Mon Oct 10, 2011 2:56 pm

Struggling to choose a style (and find at reasonable cost LOL) but I've a Green 'Classic' 4WD over silver, and am struggling to choose.

Anthracite? Silver? 5 Spoke? Size? I'm such a duffer at this....

Show me any side pics - or even any pics - of yours.. Idea of wheel size might be good !

I had a long look at the Wheelbase site - where a bunch of folks seem to have bought from - but that just complicated things even more !

Cheers! :D

Col.

Thought i would post a pic as no one else has, RX8 wheels always look good, can be picked up on ebay, fit without any spacers/rings etc. tyres can be pricey though but i picked up some part worns 4 for £140 with 7mm of tread.

When Ste said "no more pimping" I didn't think he would go this far, next Dave you'll be telling he's stopped polishing his Freda every day.

I may as well have a turn, hope thats not your fresh paintjob on those or you will be giving us painters a bad name. If you need any lessons I can book you into our college for a quick course, discounted for bongo owners of course. :lol: :lol:
