Styling New Alloys

[sammiboo]

Well the brakes are on and had a problem with the coupe alloys, so have scrapped that idea

Anyway I have four shot tyres and desperately needed a new set, I had a look on ebay found these I contacted seller and got him to end the auction early and made him an offer

So cant wait to get them on now

 

[dave]

is he giving you all the bolts or just lockers? because some bk wheels take funny skinny ones, are they the corect pcd and ceter bore?

what went wrong with coop ones

 

[sammiboo]

He sold his bravo with the Old wheels on, I am assuming i will get everything with them, if not will get some bolts myself, no biggy.

They will fit straight on.

One of the tyres had come off the wheel on the coupe so dad and H had it checked out by a tyre place. Also they were told that the tyres are wide and wouldnt fit the bravo without major rubbing, so scrapped it. Although i still reckon they will fit. Ah well.

I like those Sammi, they'll suit your car Shame about the Coupe ones though, will you be selling them to try and get some money back?

Ahh ok tyres too wide, my bad. Thought you ment they were all buckled or something..

Did you actually try them on? The coupe wheels fitted on the Marea and even the Tipo which has smaller wheel arches than a marea/bravo.

I didnt - i wasnt there. H knows more about it than I do as they went to sort it out. I was almost 100% sure they would fit. ah well.

With the Coupe alloys - 2 of the tyres had been stood deflated for a considerable amount of time. To replace those would have been over £150. A test fit was done. With the 205/50R16 tyre on, the tyre looked like it had only about 10mm of clearance at the back of the wheelarch, that's with the wheel straight. Obviously with the wheel turned and movement in the suspension you would use that clearance up. Also although we didn't try it on the ground, it looked like arch and spring clearance would be a problem. Put the Coupe and the Bravo wheels next to each other and you see why - the Coupe tyre is much bigger and wider than the Bravo tyre.
For less than the cost of 2 tyres for the Coupe wheels, Sammi has four wheels with nearly new tyres

if i was fitting coupe wheels on a bravo i'd use 195/45/16 tyres.

how much are the coupe alloys going for then?

 

[sammiboo]
