Post by: Cupra Turbo on 21 May 2004, 21:47
These will be 17" with 205/40/17 Toyo Proxes T1-S.

Personally I think the O.Z. Titans look proper awesome.

I have to agree too, but if I was buying wheels I wouldn't chose any of these I would want the BBS LM

Personally I think the O.Z. Super Leggera look the best  , always liked them

Super Leggera are meant to be lighter than most Magnesium rims too!

But I love the look of those Titans... very sleek... esp on that Black Cupra

depends.. i can take a loan and get one tomorrow ... or I can save a lil bit then get one.

Im going for the "save sum money" option, i hate big loans...

cant be assed taking a huge loan, then another loan for insurance and another for the wheels and suspension...

so im saving for awhile... get insurance and mods money then at least half th cars value money

Lol, think this thread should be re-titled "Which imaginary wheels should I get for my imaginery new car that I might get maybe, possibly one day in the future if I stop making excuses up and spouting lots of bulls**t!!"

What on earth was the point in changing your name and telling everyone you're getting a Cupra and it turns out it's going to be years away anyway.

My money is on the fact that there'll always be some reason why you're not going to get the car "just yet".

Only people that can't afford big loans can't be ar*ed having loans!!! Lol, tho having said that the biggest loan I have was the ?100 I borrowed off my dad when I was 17! Hate to think the interest he could charge me if he ever remembers I owe him it!!!!

Oh and Superlegs are by far the best wheel above!

The OZ titens are poorly designed alloys for poorly designed cars (like Fiestas) OZ Hydras are where its at, Very light and VERY strong ;) Failing that the super leggers or the Turismos

Only ever get a car loan if the car is always going to be worth more than what's outstanding on the loan.

A friend of mine was desperate for a brand new car and she bought a really low spec 206, just because it was the best one she could afford brand new.  She got a loan for the whole car at some ridiculous interest rate.  I think her total loan with interest is something like ?9,000.  After 1 year she has repayed less than ?2,000, the car is now probably worth about ?5,000.

She thinks the car is magnificent.  I think she has been thouroughly ripped off.

What was the topic again?  oh yeah, get the middle ones, super leggers.  The titans seem to be favoured by vauxhall corsa drivers.

Middle or bottom, but the TSW's will be curb-magnets, so probably the middle one...

Agree - the top one's look too much like the whirly hub-caps I've seen driving around the not-so-nice parts of SE London...

BTW - how can you find out the weights of wheels? Lots of manufacturers don't quote weights at all! I guess I could weigh mines now, if I knew the weight of a Toyo Proxes T1-S (only 1000 miles on it).

laters!

Ha ha ha ha, I moan like a b1tch listen to yourself, why don't you calm down, I'm sorry it's just too funny winding you up!

It wouldn't be so bad if you'd said "I'm getting a Cupra at Christmas" but you change your name and start talking about it constantly as if you're on the verge of making a purchase!

Oh and I've just signed up to www.ferrariownersclub.com so that means I MUST be buying one "soon"

Go pick your toys up and put them back in your pram!
