Panda 2012+ Panda 85 Lounge, Grigio Argento (Metallizzato)

Introduction

Today i bought a replacement for my "total lost" Panda 403 Turquoise.
It's a Panda 85 Lounge from november 2012 with a little over 28.000 km on the clock, it has all the nice extra's.
Some changes will be done i due Time.
I will collect it in two weeks time, later more. :D
The dark grey wheels where planned for the Turquoise Panda, not convinced about them on this grey car, to much fifty shades of grey.
When they where put on i was not that enthusiastic about the result.

black is the answer !!! :devil:
 
I'm really not that happy with the 7Jx16" Bravo LM's wheels.
The massive 18 Kg per wheel/tire is really noticeable when driving.
They are even 2 Kg per wheel/tire heavier then the 15" Barchetta winter wheels and those drove great.
The Panda just don't feel good with these massive wheels on. :(
 
Tomorrow i will take the 16" Bravo LM wheels of the Panda.
After 2 weeks driving with them i decided it's time to change them for something else.
They weigh 18 Kg (wheel+tire) and destroy the driving fun of the car.
Most people will not notice the effect of heavy weight wheels on a small light car, but i do.
The wheels will be sold ASAP.
I also have a set 15" LM Barchetta wheels, but they also weigh still 15.5 Kg with tire.
I will move to a solution that weigh below 15 Kg. :D
 
Of course they will as the unsprung weight has gone up. Ideally you need the lightest but stiff alloys you can get but larger tyres of course offset the lightness the bigger the wheel. I'm pretty sure the Italians got the compromise spot on with 15 inch alloys and 185/55-15 I find the handling and general roadholding excellent on my car
