Any one got a Spare 15" 7-spoke wheel ?

Scrub that! I need a 7 spoke wheel not a 5 sorted BB

One of my front wheels is wonky and won't balance correctly. So i need a replacement or even a pair if any one has some they want to flog.

Thanks BB.

After jacking the car up and putting a straight edge against the rim of the wheel it would appear that both front tyres have flat spots and the wheels are striaght. Which is good because I only need tyre (fingers crossed) and not new rims.

Pick up the new tyre tomorrow so hopefully this will sort my problem but it goes to show that it pays to check what the "experts" tell you !!

Good excuse to get those TOYOs I've been promising myself for a while now.

Cant knock Toyos myself but a friend of mine just had some put on the back of a 200sx and he was drifting more than what he expected the back end was apparently all over the place in. the twisties he had something different on the front.
He then swapped them to the front and all was ok

Just out of interest was thinking of changing my wheels
all 4 ok just paint chips, what are they worth and would anyone be interested front tyres ok rears nearly gone.

A set of 7-Spoke Estorils in good cond' with good tyres should fetch a Grand easy at the moment.

You might want to keep them thou' because when you come to sell it you may put of some potential buyers because they want an original car or they just don't like the wheels you have put on.

I've just put the new tyres on and with the correct pressures I have NO vibration and my front brakes feel less inclinded to lock up. I'm a happy man .

Now, what's next on the list of things I need to do to it??.......

Useful info - all is not lost:
I did bend a front Estoril (I`m told the ali is soft - it wasn`t even a proper kerb!)and struggled to find a replacement. In the end, Thames Valley Racetech got it pressed true again (no idea how) and it runs absolutely perfectly. Was about £100 + VAT, so less than a 2nd hand wheel!
