Love it mate, stunning now!!!!!!

[samsfern]

Their proper alloys, love them!

Could probably drive off a cliff now and the wheels would stay straight!. Everything else would be ******* mind!

I'll get the front Coilovers rebuilt next year, so I can whack them on and drop the whole lot about another 20mm. Gonna stick a couple of strut/subframe braces on too after that.

I'll be using compomotive wheels on the rover when I do rally it. I'll need 6 of them with rally tyres though, so it'll get a tad expensive, lol!

[HARBER07]

Tell me about it!. Expensive wheels, but extremely strong. I managed to come across these at about half the price of new ones, and virtually new. Would have preferred 16's for an aesthetics point of view, but it seems to be general consensus that 15" rims handle best on these cars.
I'd like to get a second set eventually wrapped in Toyo R888's, so I can just chuck them on for the dragstrip / trackday.

I'll be going for 15s, that's the smallest size that'll fit, I think, plus ideally I need a fairly tall sidewall. Their quite thick wheels, certainly very strong.

Just FYI then if needing big brakes, the Hispec 300mm kit will fit under 15" MO's!. Don't know I'f I'm gonna bother personally. It's only a 12mm bigger disc than I have now, so might just stick some decent pads in.

[samsfern]

As much as id like to, I've got to stick with standard brakes, I'm only allowed uprated Pads, joys of regulations. Although I haven't managed to overheat the brakes since fitting Mintex m1144 pads

What size are they just out of interest?
