Default New Stlye Comp wheel on my saff

Martin Hadland put a post up a couple of months ago advertising the new style comp whel he was having made and selling. Here are a few pics on them on my saff. I think they look the part. Toyo 888 tyres all round with 235/40/17 at the rear. What's your views?

Brakes are on. Those pics were taken as soon as it was on the ground. The tyres definately need a wash

Looks smart mate, but as said above the tyres and the car need a good clean to get the full effect

Before anyone asks, yes the rears do rub on the arches, so the inner lip of the arch will have to be rolled. Also going to set the knoi's on max stiffness to try and overcome it

They normally bolt onto the front surface of the rim, with ducts going into the wheels into them holes, venting the brakes.

..rich these:-


..the threaded bits used these coolers..i guess they were needed due to the protective nature of the wheel.
