Rimz on me Rado
« on: 26 September 2008, 11:00 »
Hi Folks,

I've been thinking of rimage for the Rado ever since I got it. I like the current rims enough not to have binned them straight away (Besides I can't afford any new ones right now) but I've been mulling over options all the same. THere are lots of rims out there that suit the Rado like Schmidts and BBS splits but these are all well out of my budget. One of the rims I've always liked were Millie Miglia Spyders and I was looking for some to paint white for the Passat but now I have the Rado I also thought they may look good on that. THen today I found a pic of a Rado with some fitted and I think they look good, certainly better than my current rims.





What do you guys think?

Getting a set is going to take a while though. Been searching forums and eBay for 6 months and none have come up in the right size and PCD yet and you can't buy them new anymore (Not that my budget would allow that anyway!).

17's as that's whats on their now and it handles awesomely plus the alloys I have now have 4 brand new tyres so if I source a set with shonky tyres I only have to get them swapped over.

nick my mate buys and sells alloys on ebay and he is constantly on the look out. what width do you require? i assume you are after et35 offset? do you want mint ones or are you prepared to put a bit of work into them? also do you want mille miglia or is it the style you like?

if he finds any i can give you the heads up.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
