Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease dont put it on ATS cups or BBS RA's..... got to be some of the most boring wheels out there! the TH mono's would look head and shoulders above either of the afore mentioned wheels!

how dare you!!!  :shocked: :shocked:

at least yours are different from the rest. Sorry at the risk of sounding 'scene' (according to alot of people) here is a list of wheels that are done to death and are boring as a result:

G60 steels
BBS RA
ATS cups
Sebrings
Ronal turbo

Wheels that are done to death, but with so many options and choices that they'll never look boring are:

BBS RS
BBS RM

No offence to anyone with these wheels,  but do what Dan did and do something different with them! why has no-one refurbed Ronal Turbos in a decent colour, or diamond cut the writing out for example?!
team grumpy....... its a way of life, not a forum post

That's kinda one reason I went fir the rotas I've not seen many cars on them and I've not seen another car at all on the black ones that I have,just wanted to be abit different I guess it was a gamble because I wasn't sure what they would look like but I think they suit the car really well and are abit different  :smiley:

I was originally gunna get RA's because I wanted to put my car back to standard.. although I'm having second thoughts now!
Not really a fan of compomotives or ronal turbo type wheels.. just don't really do it for me.

How much do people reckon my wheels are worth? 17"  Lenso concept five's with decent pirelli p5000 wheels... all could do with a refurb tbh.

Those alleycats are wicked.. but can't find much about them?

ATS cups FWT! i have em on mine, with 195/55/15 parada s2's. lowered 70mm/60mm scrubbed like f**k until i got the grinder out.....  :evil:

How do you find the paradas? My brother has them on his LCR and raves about them. If you don't mind me asking how much did they cost and how long do they last?

they are absolutely awesome. i have only covered about 400 miles on them so far, as only been on car 3days, but that includes twisty b roads in the wet, and didnt once give me any nasty surprises no matter how much i pushed my luck  :smiley:

as for cost i only know that the guy i got em off paid £65 each at trade price,so i'd reckon on about £80 or so a corner??

And theres a reason wheels become "played out", because they look so bloody good! i do intend to be slightly different with my cups when i refurb em, but the dish will be polished,spraying the dish is imo like having jessica alba as a mrs and making her wear a burkha!!!!

The Alleycat wheels you will find are going to be on a lot of mini forums, Im not completely sure what the stud pattern is but it could be 4x98 I think  :undecided:

Awsome wheels tho
