Decided to go with the grids, now the hard part. White, Silver, Bronze, Gunmetal with polished lip or black. For some boring reason I'm actually tending towards silver. I had black wheels on a silver ATR and it looked good, so I'm thinking to just reverse that and use silver wheels on black for a more sort of standard look.
Finally took a piccy of the current wheels. It turns out they are very rare and can fetch up to £650 if in good nick (which they are)! Selling these will get me the rotas + 4 tyres.
OK, the looks are marmite, but seriously you are looking to replace an extremely lightweight racing wheel with a cheap copy Rota.
I demand that you either:
a) At least try to learn to love them.
b) Stump up for TE37's. At least then you won't be making your car worse for the sake of looks, which is not really what the 'teg is about
PS They actually look really good on a white car, I can see where it goes wrong on a black one though
How much are TE37s and where can I get them? Will have a looksie.
The rotas are still lightweight and its not like I'm getting 18s or something so I don't think the ruining the car comment is just.
I can see them working on a white car, but on the black its just silly imo.
EDIT just looked up TE37s, they are lovely! How much are we talking for them? Not paying anything extra from selling the current wheels.
Got my TE's for £550 then you need tyres, all depends really they will have to come from a forum or our fav auction site, unless you want to pay 1k+ new.
Tim I'm having to be unpopular and go for 16"s, I think 15"s look too small. I'm prepared to take the slight comprimise in performance, I just think 15s look TINY on the teg.
Any other ideas for wheels while I'm looking around. Ideally 5/6 spokes that are quite simple in design. Silver or gunmetal/anthrite
