Adelaides or Estorils
« on: 21 April 2021, 13:12 »
Those who have either are you happy with them?
Which is easiest to clean?
Are you happy with how they look on the car?
Thanks

I have Adelaides.

Look ok on the car.

Cleaning?  What is that? :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

Estoril look nicer I think. Not sure if they are lighter? Adelaides are 12.6kg a pop...

I'm looking to either get an Edition 45 or Clubsport with options and either of the 2x 19's so interested to see what others have gone for.

For me the Estorils look slightly better but the R badge is somewhat putting me off them.

Much much prefer the looks of the Estorils personally... Yeah I know they have an "R" logo but I could live with that.

ED45's come with the red rimmed special 19" wheels don't they?

Estorils.

I do like Adelaides as they look like they are huge, but the Estorils look like they’ll be far easier to clean and more importantly is that they’ll allow you easier access to clean the brake bells which is a fiddly job.

I should have said, if estorils were an option when i bought my car, I would have chosen them.

Call me crazy but I can’t see an R logo on these alloys?

I’m looking at the Ed45 but will probably replace the alloys.
