I am going to put my tyres from my Voodoo's on to the Rondells and sell the 215 tyres that are on them now to help pay for a set of slicks to go on the Voodoo's as the Rondells are a very soft wheel. and besides I don't want to trash them

Andy, Reyland now do a 6 spoke Comp MO in 17 inch mate. Think Benn (304-R i think) has just put them on his bayside blue Series 1, looks

Wouldn't change your car at all mate, just read your feature today aswell! lol Sweet motor mate, wheels identify it!

Can't believe so many people are now thinking of putting Rondells on a Series 1, I was gonna do it when it arrives and thought I was being different!

Might have something slightly different for them up my sleeve tho

The Rondels look similar to the Borbet C design.

I don't want 17" MO's as I don't want to upset the handling although I have thought about buying a set as well as another set of 16" MO's.

IMO, leave the 7 spokes on. There isn't many round our way with them on Andy.
