Any ideas how dark green centres would look in stead of gold? Same color as my stripes?

[phazed]

Orange centres......

Had the SP12's off today so thought I'd weigh them (and my 16" Estorils) for future reference and for anyone who might assume bigger wheels are have to be heavier

SP12's fitted with Continental Sport Contact 3's
Front: 7x17 et 25, 215/40/17 - 18.1kg
Rear: 8x18 et 35, 245/35/18 - 20.2kg

Estoril's fitted with Toyo T1R's
Front 7.5x16 et 35, 225/45/16 - 20.7kg
Rear 7.5x16, et 35, 245/45/16 - 21.7kg

All tyres have approx 7mm of tread remaining.

wow thats actually a bit of a surprise! Nice one

I'm just going to bung this info in this thread as I've never seen it confirmed on here before and I tripped over my note of it earlier when looking for something else -

Wheel and tyre weights - OEM Imolas compared with SP12

Imola front with Toyo 18kg
rear with Toyo 20kg

SP12 front with Toyo 17.1kg
rear with Toyo 19.9kg

There, feel better for that

SP12s the standard issue Griffmaera 17/18" version, and standard 15" fronts for the Imolas?

Yep. And on the usual tyre fitments

They look absolutely perfect. On cerbs as well, classy as hell

With the 4.6 orange pic it was hard to picture them being green that orange is sooo in your face!

Thanks Dom! I do miss the clean look a bit, now with the stripes and decals... I wanted to promote Just Drive which is a site like Blatters, but more focused on drives, road trips, videos of such and events.
