My new rims !

[gadgeroonie]

those rears are WIDE !!



a bit bigger than my other set !

so its time for some fresh rubber - any suggestions i'm tempted to try some toyo's heard some good results on them

[daddysumo]

Depends what you want from your tyres and the conditions they will be used in ?

[gadgeroonie]

mostly road tyres

[daddysumo]

And how much you want to pay and how many miles you want from them !!

[art411y]

might of had a set myself if they could still get the original style mos

[gadgeroonie]

well i would like at least 6k from a set of rears

The original Mo's are not available in a 18" rim

Good choice mate I've had a set for just over a year and they always get a good response by my mates.

was lucky enough a few years ago to get the last set of 8and a half x 18 from the factory for my mak.wish they stil did them

[art411y]

the 10x 18 does look similar to the original in 8inch.the dish would look awesome for a 10inch.i had a go at compomotive for making some but needed 50sets to remake the moulds

I would love a set of those for my MAK

With spirited driving I doubt you will see 6k from the R888's or the A048 / 50. The Corsa motorsports seem a lot harder wearing but are lethal untill warm which does take some time on the road. So a road tyre it is then, there plenty of choice and lots of comments already about them on other threads.

Nice rims!!.

What colour are those MO rims? Any chance of a comparison photograph against the originals?

I've been contemplating a set of these and had already decided on Toyo T1-Rs should I manage to free up the cash.

[gadgeroonie]

the colour is antracite

they come in silver, gold, black, white and anthracite

Art nice evo - how did it compare to the Noble ?

I got my rims from here http://www.reyland.co.uk/

well gadge the truth is the mak was running well over 450 brake so the noble does seem a bit slow in comparison but it is the slower of the clan.think it would push a 400 to its limits in most departments.it has absolute huge aps front and back plus tein coilovers with edc.was a real beast

got toyos on mine but i dont really use it in anger.when the t1-rs came out i followed loads of threads and articles about them as the t1-s it super seeded was a really great budget tyre.to cut along story short the t1-r is now called the toyo ditchfinder.the tyre place i use sorted out some t1-s for me but like i say i have really not used them in anger.was really good on the mak though

[gadgeroonie]

yeah - i've heard the toyo TR1-S is a good tyre

the 888's are dangerous at high speed
