Wheel photos.....and 9 inches on the front!

[david.mt]

I have narrowed down my choice to the following wheels:

Compomotive MO - Silver
HRE C90
Trafficstar RTS - Silver

Now bit of a long shot but are there any blue Nobles out there with these wheels on in 18 inch - if not blue then any other colour. I have found a photo online of the Trafficstars in 19 inch which has kind of put me off and I think they are a bit too open and I have no idea of strength/weight.



The Compomotives are good solid wheels and reasonably cheap - so not a problem if you bend/kerb one. This together with design probably means they are my favourites at the moment.

The HRE's are nice and strong but expensive and difficult to replace and will probably corrode quickly given the polished rims - my last SSR's did.

Could really do with some photos to make a final decision order next week but just of these particular wheels

Has anyone jumped up a size to 18x9 on the front or fitted wider tyres over the standard sizes?

One wheels are ordered we can start on tyres

i think they look great David, suit your car better than the standard wheel imo.

David,

I think this used to be SaucyBoy's GTO-3 with the MOs fitted. I loved the look of this and saved the photo as a reminder of how good these wheels looked on a Noble.

I have the Trafficstars, they are just about the strongest wheels you can get, but not the lightest.

Bit late to the party on this one... As usual been away..... :-(

I Went for the slightly larger MO's on the front when I bought some. I had an LSD and 6spd fitted to my 2.5L M12, and it cured the problem I had with understear that the LSD induced. I had added some shims to sort it out but ended just getting the larger MO's on the front.

I've shod mine with some Pirellis, which haven't been too bad.
