Default Hi Everybody!! (Newbie)

Hi All!

I'm a newcomer to this site so I thought I would introduce myself. I must say this site is exactly what I've been searching for as I've loved Series 1 RS's since I was a kid and am now saving to buy one (early next year I hope).

I also had a question to ask - I was wondering if Rondell made a 17" version of their 122 alloy wheels (popular on Esc Cossies in 18" - see weblink below) that would fit a Series 1 RST since I once saw a s1 with these on and it looked awesome (yes, I know it's sacrilidge to change s1's from standard but I think they look great on 17s). I'd also appreciate any advice on fitting or pics of Series 1's on 17"s..

Anyway, I look forward to talking about all this Series 1 with you all in the future!!

yes they did , good luck tracking a set down and be prepared to pay a lot of money for a set, i agree they look very good on series1's.

fitting is fairly straight forward but as the rondells are 7.5" wide you may need to trim the rear arches, if you get this pro done then it wont cause any probs.

if you are serious about buying one and have some money to spend then join the rsoc and youll get rallye news every 2 months and they have some very very good cars for sale in there, good luck finding one
