Default Wheels for the ST200

ARGHHHHHHHHHHH

Had it down to a choice of two...

Either these...

or these...

Originally liked option a, but the more I looked at em the more I decided b suited the car more, then someone said 'a' looked very Jap, so that was it option B...

rang to order them today and guess what??



Bollox bollox bollox... They are out of stock of the 6 spoke, and I really dont want to take the piddle with keeping my wheels as they are sold.

Really gone off the 5 spokes... :blub:

Sooooooo think i'm going for these in 17's



And a subtle lowering of the car...

opinions?

Not too keen on either of the wheels on the car...sorry!!

The wheel at the bottom may look better tho

Ive got some 18" OZ Superleggeras that came on my 200, but had elastic bands for tyres so i took them off when i was told i couldn't put bigger tyres on them......which i now know i can

I then got a set of standard 200 rims which look ok....but ive just seen a piccy of the car with the OZ's on, and way prefer them so may be having to get some new bigger rubber on the OZ's and re-fit them !!

I like the last set of wheels but the ultimate would be:



Very similar but those in 18" with wider rear wheels with a staggered offset so the wheels look right but at the same time gives the back end a deeper dish They'd look the absolute don If they do interest you they're BBS RX alloys

My mates just had 18's fitted and couldn't get 225/40's to fit, he had to go for 35's

got some wheels coming and rang em to change the tyres from 225/40's to 215/35's

Gary

The 225/40 would of gone on, but screw the speedo/handling. When i went to have them fitted i said i wanted these, but on seeing the difference and on their advice i went with their original recommendation.

My new wheels are 45 offset and 225/35 tyres, not 215



Impressions are bumps no noticeable difference, handling improved, feels a bit lighter
