i think lowered on 18"s is enough for me with these welsh roads

Not a fan of black alloy spokes (unless as an accent colour) because they just disappear

And darker rims certainly suite the saffy better imho, Nice rims tho dave for sure with the silver

must admit they are a stunning wheel, very tempted with those myself tbh. Being V50's i bet you'll need the centre bore machining to fit

They do look a nice set of wheels

I have never liked the black alloy's on saffy's, I don't know why somehow they just do not look right. Moleadrian has some black one's on his silver V70 and they look the nuts!

Not trying to put you off just adding my thoughts i'm sure that there are plenty that will disagree :smile:

Alot of the older members will know this already..... But for the newer members.....

Dave is World Famous!

If you look for headlights on e-bay they even have a photo Dave's car on there with the 19's!

Those wheels are the nut's Dave, pity they were stolen and melted down to make shiny bit's for frankies engine :(

That seller asked me for the pictures back in 2006 when I first bought mine. Sold them to Spesh for 50 quid 3 years later and put the later rear lights in too.

They are actually my favourite style of wheel at the moment , there are a lot of German cars going around with that sort of style and finish at the moment.

lol i like my ginge way too much to get a replacement for her so will just give her botox

Wobbly Dave
Monday 21st January 2013, 23:57
Just that I have a sense of inevitability that if you start tuning the LPT - then sooner or later you'll find that you've spend god knows how much catching up to the standard T5 - and it isn't quite enough. You wont be the first.

They are quite rude when you look at them and ponder. Possibly you need a rude mind, but I cant help but see a lot of splayed legs - perhaps thats the attraction?? Subconsciously obviously. But they are very very nice!!!
