non standard alloys

[gabriel]

Any of you guys ever fitted aftermarket (non standard) wheels to your esprits?
Thinking of doing so and wanted some help in choosing & info on offsets etc....
Mocked up a pic of the GT3 with these on looks really good!

I've put these on my 88 X180 NA - 18" on the back and 17" on the front, went straight on. They are Kahn RS-C too oddly enough and the tyres are 265/35-18 on the back and 235/35-17 on the front. Easy to source too.

Cheers Andy. Just had a look at your pic. You sure they're not the RS-R's or RS-S's. The C's flare out towards the rim yours look like they remain parallel?
BTW. Just tried to look on LEW for your car under the owners section but couldn't find it. Have you been banished for having non standard alloys on your Esprit

Hi Andy

1. I also got a 88 NA. How is it with these tyres on the wet? ......and on the dry? In fact is the handling greatly changed?
