Nice alloys..
 
Hey,

I've been looking around for some new wheels for my s12, only casually as i'm not sure i can afford it, and i stumbled across these at sxoc:

They are lovely lovely wheels, imo, but also horribly expensive. Does anyone know of a similar design available from somewhere else that won't set me back a grand?

Thanks :)

Any tyre recommendations guys? Are Goodyear F1's or Goodyear Eagle F1's the obviosu and best choice? Whihc of the two? Or is there a cheaper alternative?

Thanks

Do you get the Proxes T1-S or T1-R ? Also, whats sizes do people generally run? 205/45/17 seems usual, does anyone use 205/40/17? Are there any advantages/disadvantages between the two profile heights?

wacomuk 12-03-2006 14:46

the T1r are the older style T1s`s are the new ones. they seen to be about the same price

i use 225/45/17 as this is the exact size for the car (Speedo correct at this size)

I have used 215/40/17 but found that every bump in the road put a lump in the alloy :(
