Im looking at purchasing some comps for my sierra sapphire and really struggling to make my mind up. Its a nouveau red so colours and designs dont quite work the same as with the greys and blacks of the other colours. Im looking at either the mo6s in anthracite grey or some th1s in silver but really unsure what look to go for cant go wrong with the mo6s but when th's are done right they look great whats you reckon?

 

The ones on the right look perfect on a saff with the right off set and a little wider on the rear. Soon as mines together and mot'ed I'll be selling my rondels and getting a set

 

Anthracite MO6s but I'm a little biased



Philip.

 

18's are a shit drive on a Sapphire - Tramline central

 

M06 gets my vote

Ive just taken 17s off mine after 10 years and gone back to standard and it drives sooooooo much better!

 

They do do the th's in 17s, I would take a set of DC rs7s if I could get a set but you can't and people want crazy money for them. I'm heading towards the mo6s, the th's look great if the set ups right, is you can't get the car sat right they look pants...though if you can they look great! Also not sure how they would look on a nouveau.

 

18" mo6's look gorgeous on a cossie

 

Will look so much nicer I think

 

Second picture in look perfect to me.

 

8x17 th

 

Mo6's, th's, th2's and rl7's are all gorgeous on these cars

 

Agreed.

 

Totally agree Paul, 17" max, I have got standard wheels on mine and it drives like a dream in comparison.

CheeRS.Lee.

 

100% correct.

Thanks. Lee.

 

I recall when we first drove the 500 that you had... and I skipped it sideways on that roundabout.

Anything over 16" doesn't seem to suit the handling at all in my experience, unless it is for track smooth roads only??

 

If it was me I'd go mo6 in silver

 

I'd have standard wheels on mine if I could they do look the best but if your after power it's no possible as the brakes are rubbish

 

Yes you did Andy, I remember it well.Agreed 16" is a good all round compromise. Standard look good but no room for brakes upgrades, 17" are not to bad.

Thanks. Lee.

 

Th2 looks goode aswell http://www1.garaget.org/archive/1/75...93-2436760.jpg

 

If you really want to stick with std wheels there is as AP brake kit available that fits from reyland. Expensive though and only has 295mm discs. Although i realise its not just about disc diameter

 

I have a Nouveau red car too, mine has old style Mo5's on them 17x8.

 

 

Thanks for all the advice and comments, I went with the safe option in the end the 8x18 mo6's in anthracite grey (they dont do silver anymore). Ill get some pics up once iv saved up for some tyres!

 

Good choice! Spoked alloys suit the Saff really well imo. I am still happy with my old school OZ Cronos 17 inch wheels after 16 years since I got them!


The spare is exactly the same as well, found it on German E-bay.

 

Wich tyre size are you using? I also want to buy these wheels but I'm afraid 215 width tyres are to small and 235 tyres will scratch.

 

 

Going back 2 anthracite for my wheels and want decals like these. They look gorgeous

 

I've got 205 front but are stretched so going 215 fronts. I'm running 215/40/17 Yokohama ad08r on the rear, but they come up more like 225's.

 

not the best pic but came across this the other day.

 

Gold, bronze or anthracite.?

 

Not comps, bola's

 

Look like the rota d154's

 

Bola D154.....are they the same pwrhaps??

 

Bola b12 and Rota d154 they look similar but for me the rota is better looking.

 

I stand corrected, they are Rota

 

The rotas are available in 17 and 18's
