hey

i am wanting to replace the original wheels on my clubby van, i am leaning towards to contessas just because they are relatively cheap.

if anyone has any recommendations on other wheels, advice or comments this is all more than welcome!!

I looking to spend under $500 on the wheels.

10" would be preffered and i am planning on putting on flares

cheers everyone!

You can get a set of 12" minilite style rims with tyres pretty cheap.

www.tempetyres.com.au have/used to have them. (can't find them on their new site)

The same set can be found on ebay, too.

i will have a look now. is there dramatic differences in handling and speed with 12"??

cheers

yes..


...take it away, doc

_________________

The difference between 12's and 10's is slim. The height of the wheel itself is almost identical. Handling is simular, if not the same. Also with 12" rims, you can fit bigger (and cheaper) brakes under them. With 10" rims, you are pretty much restricted to Cooper S discs, which are expensives.

Ok. i will look at getting some 12" because i wasn't looking forward to dishing out the dollars for the s discs. cheers for ya help!!
