would'nt mind a second set of rims in the near future with wider tyres, so i can swap with my standard 145 coopy rims some days. i've thought of a couple of options..


Image
10 inch mags

Image
12 inch rover stockies like Speedy's lil beast

Image
12 inch red steelies with white walls for the roddin look.
any opinions?

Stick with the 10s, but maybe something like Bobs?

What happened to good old, faithful minilites or contessas?

For a roundie I do like stocko wheels with chrome hub but not sure of their longevity?

Stick to 10inch, they handle and take off so much better...

Dondon are you sure that you need rear wheels and not Tyres???
reminds me of my little sister , She drove across australia last year.
she rang me up to ask me the best way to get a new wheel.
I asked her why and she told me she had got a flat and and so changed it for the spare.
So i said well go and get a new tyre put on the wheel that you took off.
She went silent for a moment and then told me she had thrown it away.
She didnt realise that you only have to change the tyre.
Dead set laughed my arse off.
The problem that worried me was she was with a 19 yr old guy that had spent time in the army and he didnt know any better either??

Sorry Chopchop love the look of the last one looks wicked.
I have the dunlops and think they look wicked i just need the centre caps! anyone???
