Technical punot GT wheels

[mase]

very nicely done man... i am guessin they just gonna b the silver GT ones?

wat size an brand of tyres are u gettin an how new are they?

 

[MDB]

yeah they are silver but can get them powder coated black for £120

Two of the tyers are pirelli two are fierstone not sure what size and been told they are only slightly worn.

trust what the guy saids work beside him so know he is not a bull s*iter

also alloys are in mint condition

will get pictures on when i get them fitted

awesome job man.... mine only cost £50, but then i had to pay £120 for tyres.

the size u have is prob 185/50 cause the 175/50's that i have are only made by pirelli (the p6000) and good year (touring), i got the p6000's on the front an good year on back!!!

plus a proper low profile so hardcore lowering is under way!

Sound like you both got bargains! My GT2 wheels cost me £100 with knackered tyres, although the wheels themselves were in perfect condidtion with no kerbing, then I spent about £40 on paint, primer & lacquer for the respray, and nearly £200 on tyres!
Worth it though, they look the nuts and those pricey tyres are Avon ZV3s (185/55, thats actually the standard size for Punto GT) so it sticks to the road like s**t to a blanket

yea man i was well chuffed, dont think the guy knew wat he had!!

plus he spelt punto wrong so hardly anyone had seen them on ebay!!!

 

[MDB]

How do you go about spraying the wheels £40 sounds a hell of a lot better than £120

 

[mase]

the same way u spray anythin.... with great difficulity. LMAO

not much help i kno, as long as u have a spray gun, and a garage to do it in shouldnt b too hard at all!

 

[MDB]

well finaly go the wheels on

i'm well chuffed

 

[mase]

nice man

JB i think we have started a revolution!!! 3 cinqs now with those wheels!!!

so much for mine bein the only set on a cinq haha

wat size tyres are those man?

 

[MDB]

there 185/55's

they came with the wheels

going to get a set of 185/50 or 175/50 when cash allows

 

[mase]

fair one.... thought they looked a little big hehe

this is with 175/50 but it depends how low u wanna go really, mine is dropped about 50mm!

185/50 would give u more grip due to being wider, but would only allow for about a 40mm drop due to the increased wheel diameter!

 

[MDB]

planing on dropping the car soon

thinking of going for 40mm spax springs
dont want to go too low due to cobbles and speed bumps

will have to wait though till i get lower profile tyers cause there is not much space between the wheel and arch and there is already some rubbing on full lock

 

[mase]

yea man i get rubbing on full lock even with 175's

nothin to worry about tho, only a tiny bit!!!

should look good with a 40mm drop! u gonna change the springs yourself?

if u do, give me a shout if u need any help, had my shock and springs off more times than i care to remember haha

 

[MDB]

thank dude

got a mate with a cinq who has not long changed his and is going to help me do the work

will let you know how it all goes

 

[mase]

good lad!!!

yea u will have to post pics up when u do more to it! lookin good tho, the dark an yellow go well!
