Hi,

I'm just looking at getting new wheels and tyres as I have a flat spot thanks to a pothole on one of my wheels and while hunting around for a good 18" gold alloy also wondered what profile of tyre I need to go for 40 or 35 as I know as the rim size goes up the profile needs to drop to avoid screwing with the speedo etc.

I've been looking at the Toyos and wanted the technomagnesio detroit F1 but scoobysport no longer stock them so also need to find another supplier.

Cheers

Si

You didn't say whay MY your car was so if it's MY01> you need 40 profile or if it's classic shape you need 35 profile......

Apologies it's MY00 (Feb) so old shape so I guess I need 35, can you recommend a good place to get those Oz wheels as they are the kind I'd ideally like.
