(S) Changing Wheels

Looking to change the wheels on my T-jet, fancy a bit of a change, I have grey at the moment, but I quite fancy white wheels.


seen these on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/17-INOVIT-ST6-...ht_10661wt_782

or also thinking of pro race 1.2's.

I have these abarth wheels on mine, with 2 brand new front tyres and two good tyres on the back, how much do you think these would go for?



Or has anyone got wheels they want to swap ?

I've just painted my standard tjet wheels in white and i kind of like those you have, but we are very very far away!!!

Where abouts are you dude? been after some Abarth wheels for a while, those ones or the white ones.

They seem to dissapear from Abarthisti or Ebay at 350ish.

I got a brand bew set (Well Delivery mileage) for £400

£350 would be about right i think! Don't think you should trade them in for those inovits though (unless you painted them green to match ya mirrors! That might look cool). The "upgrade" tyres are £75 and only Falkens so god knows what tyres come with them as standard!

Im getting a white GP soon but can't decide on these or white multispoke ones like the AGP decisions ay

Il buy them alloys off you if your selling them :P

the two tone multispoke abarth ones i reckon (as im selling lol)

Im not a fan of the two tone ones sorry ha.
Im getting alot of people saying no to the Inovit ones, I think the pro race 1.2's are the ones to go for.

yes to the pro race wheels but go for 18"

the inovit just look cheap

18's will be too big, 17's are gonna be nice and light too.
Just trying to find a good price online

anyone know if 18" with 40 profile tyres will fit on the gp ?

Should be fine mate its less than an inch different than OEM rims+tyres.

OEM (45/17) RADIUS = 12.13 inch
(40/18) RADIUS = 12.22 inch

ps il probably get 18" pro-race's

i have got 18's with 35 profile tires no rubbing or catching nothing what so ever i jusy got my lowering springs aswell thats how confident i am they wunt rub

The esseesse uses 215/40/18 rubber. I have the same tyres but use a wider 18 inch rim - 8J as opposed to 7.5J. Lowered on coilovers (the amount of lowering is by no means extreme) I do get scraping from the front if the suspension moves a lot on a low speed turn (for instance hitting a bump with more than half turn or so of lock on). High speed corners are fine (and dare I say mighty fun).

What it scrapes on I have no idea, but I think it's more a function of width than diameter.

For road use (where I'm more concerned with the look than the performance) I'd go for the 18 inch rim. If you want to have some track action I'd go for a 17 inch rim which will let you use a slightly higher profile track tyre. I'm actually on the look out for some pro race 1.2s in 17 inch so let me know what you find

With regard to the OP's decision, I think maybe do some photoshops with white wheels. I can't help but think white would detract from the effect the lime green mirrors have. Diluting their impact because of the lighter colour if you see what I mean.
