Me Again.... When you buy a full set/kit from Philip at PW Motorsport (01437 563793) you get all the bits you didn't think you needed, like

Four boxes...


Four sprocket rings and four sets of BBS wheel bolts...


Four BBS wheel/tyre valves...


Four CF (look) BBS centre caps...


Four wheels... BBS CH's 8x19 ET50


All for a very good (had to haggle him down) price.....

wow nothing like a sparkling set of bbs in there boxes  :cool:

im after the ch or ck... ive sent him pm aswell see if he replies

ive just purchased some s3 alloys they are so cool and the ride seems well smoother than with the monza 18s less rattles aswell, the wheel guy said itsa partly because ive gotten rid of the horrd conti sports 2s which was making my ride feel like a 1989 fiesta.

anyway im also after the ch or ck for the summer :smug:

ive got the Goodyear Eagle F1s..
The guy at the tyre shop said hes removed a few continental sport tyres off cars before with cracks in the center of the tyre he thinks its due to over inflating and they have a poor sidewall.

I could tell the difference straight away soon as i drove away with eagle f1s, but they aint all weather tyres.
For maximum grip in the rain/snow Toya Tyres are superb i had them on my beemer and they stuck to the road in the wet so well. .

Ive tried toya, yokohoma, conti, dunlop, bridgestone and pirelli on my cars before and have to say the bridgestone and goodyear have been the best.

I aint tried the michellin pilot sport i hear there still the top dog tyres.

Id spend any amount of money on tyres to get the best available i think there the most important and basic safety mod you can do to a car could even save your life!

Those BBS wheels are gorgeous, are they 18" or 19"?
As for tyres, I have tried most types, and the ones I really recommend are the Michelin Pilot Sport 2's. They keep road noise down, especially on motorways, and are an excellent all weather tyre. I always change my tyres to these now.
