Thanks

but hate to think of the price for Volks in 19" any advice where to get a set, ideally with the spokes in gold.

Thanks

Oi Fudpucker!! Those 'ghastly' Superl's look as.
Not as cool as the silver set I have on mine but still . . . .

Stop slating a classic wheel!!




I do agree that the he'd be better off with 18s though.

I know 18"'s are better for the handling etc, was just considering 19"'s as I am hardly doing any miles a year in the car now and tyre wear doesn't concern me anymore

Mine were a proto-type rims which I was lucky enough to get with rubber at a special deal, however TSL supply 4 corners for £1175 inc (without rubber).

be warned though there is very little on the walls to protect you, hence very easy to scratch/damage on kerbs, especially if I let the mrs drive :-(

As for more pics, have nothing much to hand apart from this pic of TSL's car

My 19's have been on for 13 months. They have covered approx 8,000 miles. The fronts are shot and being replace next week for £330 the rears still have another 1,000 miles left in them. They have done a weekend of hard work on the ring and a day on castle combe too. Not bad I dont think.
The handling on the 19's is def different than with the old 17's. I can feel the difference massively when I chop and change. However once your used to the 19's they are fine and its only with track work that you will notice the difference.

The Americans certainly know how to make their cars look sometimes.

for me these look the best of the best :-) , contacted my wheel supplier and he assures me that these are " the wheels " for the STI 7/8, prob the most expensive you can get but correct fitment etc

just my opinion

PS have seen these on a sti7 and looked .. yum yum

Maddy

Gutmann pug, Yep I bought them and have been very happy with them , I agree there not everyones taste however my car took 2nd place in the NBO so must of done something right :P


scoobymy01, I Just use warm water and a bit of elbow greace then shammy them off to give a nice shine, very easy to clean
ps look forward to seeing some piccies when you have them on your car mate

WHAT are those

RACING HART PRO J8's according to the site the pics are on. The car is actually Canadian, so those wheels won't be available over here.

They're 8.5x19"

Mmmmm I've got a good mate that stays in Canada

19"s? Would suit yer pimp styliee down to the ground John

I'm sure "Blackspeed Racing" in Canada would be able to help you out there too

Racing Hart wheels are a proper qaulity rim and I was looking at getting some for my s2000 though I would'nt mind a set for the scoob. When I was over in the states they seemed to be held in high regard and are not a cheap wheel. They are indeed RH Pro J8's and can only be purchased in 19 inch size either in silver, gold or graphite if my memory serves me correct.

I think Envy Performance import Racing Hart wheels in and they appear to have some on the website www.envyperformance.com though these are the standard Racing Hart line up, not the RH pro series as the picture above. Never dealt with the company so cannot say what they are like.
