errr - As you can probably tell from the sky - that was in the summer - that journey I do every day to Chester really mucks the car up -

I bought some swissol just before this picture, and this is the 'After Shot'.....

I'll take a looksee at all the alloys on Sunday - Sounds like a 'must-do' meet !

Hopwfully in the next couple of weeks I'll have some 17's on mine. What wheels are you going for, or are you still deciding?

Hard to believe that the extra inch in diameter can make such a dramatic effect on the look of the car - almost as if the standard 16" wheels look smaller than they really are!

heres mine... Team Dynamics Rim2000's 17"s
with 215-40-17 tyres.
Don't think they do them anymore... IMHO its one of the better TD wheels.
i like the 'dish' look on the rim as it makes the wheels look wider when you look at them.

you can get some Lenzo's that look v similar....

look here.

5 spokes nice.. cus you can see your brake discs easier thro them.

I do sometimes have both kids in the back of the car, but they weigh about 16 Stone between them.....

Isn't the ride a bit choppy ? - I thought 17s was the recommendation for a classic, but I'm open to thoughts !

PS _ Any pics ?

Tyres are Toyo T1's 215/35ZR18 - no difference with the ride apart from the fact it handles a lot better a bit like a go-cart now

Thought you'd have taken the cuddly scooby off the parcel shelf before going out on the track. Poor little thing must have been sliding about like ****
