Buying some wheels, Need Advice\pics
« on: 16 July 2004, 08:38 »
Guys, I'm stuck, I need some allys for my 1992 cabrio but I'm not sure if its gonna look sh!t!...

I was thinking about either 15x7 deep dish or some 16's

If 15x7, i like the Brock B2's



(Not sure if these are 7" or bigger?)
but should I get 195/50 tyres or 185/65. (what has the above got on?)
I like the rounded tyre look,

but is it only good for big fat split rims not 7"ers? any pics?

These black centered wheels look sweet and I'd love a set of  those, but are those 7x15 brock 2's on that white cab like mine on the left?...


Will I have to lower it?

If 16's then I think I want Momo Sports, but that could be a mammouth task to find some. So i'm not too bothered and like the look of all sorts of wheels.

Does anyone know of any alloys for sale? or seen any for sale anywhere? anything considdered!!

Few of my fav's...













Cheers,
Chris.

I'm pretty sure that Danr had a set of 16 inch momo's for sale that came with his TSR powered Mk1, not sure if they were arrows or sports though.

Haven't seen him on the site for a long while though. Drop him a pm or an email and see if he still has them for sale  ;D

they are 14x9 at the back and 14x8 at the front - definatly not a good wheel for everyday driving, but they look fantastic.
I think that F-plate white cab is db Sams from this site
I don't own this anymore - I just can't be arsed to change the picture
