Default My new wheels


from the standard RB5 wheel to....

P-WRC1 7.5 x 18" anthracite wheels shod with 215/35/18" Hankook Ventus Sport tyres...
Now fitted: (click on images for high res versions)









Verdict: not had a chance to test the handling but on visual terms fill the arches much better.

Looks Nice mate. Did you know, if you drive down the public road, with the stickers still on the tyres, and the P1G's (sorry I mean the Police! ) pull you over, you can be prosecuted for having 'Bald' spots on your tyres!!

I **** you not!, was told this by a tyre fitter.

Hankooks are very good tyres, i have run them for 2 years on the RB5 on the 17" wheels and also run them on my Ford Focus.

good in wet and dry conditions
