Compromotive MO's 9" X 18". Considering the price the centers are a bit cheap and nasty.

i was looking at these wheels for my T350, they look great, i was going to get the 10" on the rears and widen the arch (far to expensive to do with my spectraflair silver paint) but decided to sell my car, now im keeping it i just got my spiders powder coated black. few other things to do before changing wheels.

they are well worth the money in my O.

Not my cup of tea i'm afraid, they look small (spokes stopping before the rim) and don't flatter the saggy's lines, one bit.

The weight of them is perfect for the track though.

Hi L1OFF
Are you running standard ride height?
You seem to have more air between your tyres and wheel arches than our one?
Just wondered as ours does bottom out quite regularly and thought maybe you had yours alltered.
Wheels look great,I would probably have wanted black though (dont show the dirt as much)
Are they much lighter/stronger than spiders?

Pete.

Normal height (whatever that is) does ground quite often even on motorways. I did look at the "new" TVR style wheels and the quality of those is shocking. They are a lot lighter and stronger than spiders (not so easy to kerb )

Hi Mate

Blat would be good. I've just had to buy a new rad from RG as mine has split and dumped all the water, at least it will sort (I hope) the heating problems I've been having. I can breath a sigh as it's now 15 days since I got pinged on the M27 (thought it was a HATO) as soon as I saw the yellow & blue checkers hit the brakes and slowed to about 97 leptons

Give you a bell over the weekend.
