Help Me Decide

[tempo]

Finally made up a set of MK1 sports alloys, 3 refurbished and checked for buckle by lepson in kent and brand new 10" rear (thanks Robjonk). They look really nice. the problem is i put a deposit on 19" ace 132 alloys but when i saw them in real life it didn't have the Wow factor i wanted.

the cost of tyres may cost me the same as the remender for the 19" wheels. i will loose a percentage of my deposit. Saying that i feel the sports wheels will make the car look better. i Know some people have had bad experiences with the sport wheels but i have 2 new ones and two well refurbished ones.

What do you think?

I would say go for the original Sport wheels as they are unique and do keep your car as standard spec. Ah but you have an Aristo so you may not mind.

But then as you know I am biased cos I luv the original Sport wheels!!

I'm the 4th vote for the sport wheels. Just look after them and get the rear wheel geometry sorted so it doesn't eat rear tyres.

well i can dream, but seriously the sport alloys look alot better

The top ones look the best but wil be harder to keep clean .go for the top ones . :)

[robjonk]

got to be the sport wheels but if not I'll buy them off you.

Syd, go for the Sport alloys, they look absolutely gorgeous on that car.

I'm considering swapping over my blitz z1 19"s for a set of gs sport rims as on my lowered ride the quality of ride is just not baby freindly. Anyone know where I can pick up a set for reasonable money?

very diffecult to find in good condition. except if you want new ones which are expensive. i have two in my garage which i bought used but are bent in the middle. i think a gs owner had a set of 8.5" for sale.

[dangerous brain]

Yeah i saw the 8.5's. I think they were sold though chap. Seems like you hear that these wheels bend alot. If thats the case I'm thinking perhaps not such a great idea after all. I'd actually consider buying them new as second hand the blitz rims are worth more than the lex sport wheels new methinks with the blitz rims going for £650 a pop new :(
