Once the car goes off the road for the winter i will be purchasing a set of these in 17" for my 3dr but wanting to know what widths are the best for the car so that cutting is prevented.

I will be fitting coil overs on all corners so what tyres can i get away with??

I'm curious to know what sizes their running on this car as this identical to the track i'm wanting




Does anyone know of anyone selling a set??

Any help greatly appreciated

Cheers

Chris.

 

You can get them off the Compomotive website. No price though, they look good and expensive I should imagine Brammer.

http://www.comp.co.uk/wheels/wheels.asp?range=CXN_0025

 

they are expensive mate.. but well worth it

i looked in to them last year for the saph but needed the car etc to see if they would cover the brakes.

 

if you want the same offset as the photos you'll need to trim the inside of the kit. if you look at the photos you can see its been done to that car.

if your going to put them on yours please dont do the normal 3dr gay offset thing..

speak to martin@reyland, he's a comp dealer and he'll be able to talk you through the sizes.

 

who owns the white one above??

 

That is simply stunning mate!! If you get them FFS DO THE CENTRES BLACK!!

 

they look good when done in black

 

i never knew comp did them in 18" tho.. after a set for the 500 now

 

hey mate are they the same offset and size as the one above?? are they 18"?

 

they are 17" mate 7.5 on the front and 8 on the rear, ive had to trim the arches alot to fit them as im running 215/40/17 on the front and 235/40/17 on the rear, im not sure on the offset thow

 

looks sweet mate.. do they catch now that the arches have been trimmed?any more pics mate?

 

Told you! Awesome, nice one mate!

 

they dont catch at all now

 

He's from Norway and his nick is LHD rs500. I tried the same wheels on my saph a while ago and If I remember right he has ET25 in front. The car looks even more stunning in real life, believe me!

 

o right.. are they 17's or 18's mate??
is the rear offset the same?

 

they dont do them in 18........


Dont be a fanny make sure you get them in 9 inch rear and 8 inch front

 

there for my old man not me but yh sounds like 17x8 and 17x9

 

My BBS are 9j rear with 245/40-17's and 8.5j front with 235/40-17's, et15 all round. Arch mods were kinda needed, some what

 

pics

 

Cool man, they do em up to 12in wide, badass.

I want a set.

What kind of cash they go for?

Obv id want at least 10in wide front and rear, but even prices for slightly lesser width if anyone know would give me a rough idea.

 

I dont think you want to know

 

Oh dear

 

Here's a pic of one of the rears.....



Sorry for poor quality. No pics properly fitted to the car as its down body shop on axle stands with no doors or glass

 

Ł1500 a set seems to ring a bell.. you can get cheaper versions from image.

 

image wheels are 400+ per wheel.. so comp are going to be more i think.

 

dont they rub he inside of the body at all mate??

 

i thought image would be more! cheers for the info

 

must be them i'm thinking of then..

 

sorry my bad.. image wheels are around the 330-400 mark. dependent on width and thats on a 17" wheel

 

Clear the inside ok, just arch mods that were required, metal and also plastic cutting needed. Ive got a few pics of them in the old gold colour fitted but it was before it had any arch mods done so it's sitting very high.

 

Depends which image rim....cast or billet. Also their website is plus vat iirc? The BBS rims now owe me around 2.5k inc tyres excluding arch modding

 

I spoke to Reyland about the CXN's and depending on the price of alloy they'll be around Ł1500-1600 and i think i am going to fit the same size as Paul's 500

7.5 x 17 fronts with 205 / 50 /17
8 x 17 rears with 215 / 40 /17

This way the trimming the arches isn't needed which suits me

 

excluding vat mate.. and billet rims.

 

shame the wheel is trying to hide in the rear arch tho

 

And you cant complain with it looking as well as that one does

 

just go for the cheap option of lensos

 

you want the rears (and fronts lol) to sit like this



in all fairness I would NOT cut the arches/kit on a 500, thats why I went for a humble 3dr

 

Perfect.

I wana a 3dr like that soooooooooooo badly Go on 3dr's, esp black ones with CXNs and 500 bodykits, lose all your value so i can afford one

 

Heres mine on image wheels, need t take some new pics like.

 

Thats how mine sit front and rear except ive man sized tyres on, not the veedub euro look
