Silver Compo's look wrong IMO, way too heavyset. Black on Mandarin a'la Joe's looked fine mind

[robin]

ive a set of these in silver in boxes still i got them to go with the black vx as think the car looks better with silver wheels imo.

[JG]

indeed, its not a vx but its pretty close. i still think this looks great.

[Tom220SC]

Tom220 has a set of silver speedlines on his, I think his are genuine ones and not speedlinealikes



Hope he doesnt mind me posting a pic up

Stealthvxt, no problem at all i was just about to post a pic up aswell, i have actually got two of the six sets of the original Magnesium speedlines. I am toying with the idea of selling a set aswell....

I guess i liked cars from teh 80's and those alloys are also simiar to the original NA ones (which i like).
(Ferrari 308 being one of my favourites)

My thoughts exactly - the compo's remind me of the type of wheels supercars had in the 80's . The 16/17 combo is the single best thing I've done to the car, it feels much better - more planted on the road and the steering feels lighter even with the wider fronts (I went for 205/50/16).

Or this Not far off the compo design

(i'd like to run the Toyo T1-R Tyres...)

Don't do it. They're woeful tyres on the VX.

[techieboy]

Do you need a semi-slick? Will you be doing enough trackdays to warrant the not inconsiderable cost of them and the on-road drawbacks (noise, wear rate, etc)? I've stopped using them on the road now, unless I've been to lazy to remove them after the last trackday as, as great as they are, they're wasted on the road. If you really think you need a super grippy tyre, then fit a halfway house tyre like the Toyo R1-R or the Yoko AD08. 90% of the grip of the semi-slick R888 or A048 but with less tyre noise, much more tread depth to start with and much greater capacity to deal with any water you might encounter.

indeed, its not a vx but it is prettier. i think these cars look great.

Corrected for you , although the standard wheels on the Europa are

Nope they were marginally lighter, and much lighter than proper speedlines.

And can you confirm the part number on compmotives website...is it M0177?

Vauxhall VX220 {standard car}
Front wheels
X2 MO1670 7x16 offset et20. PCD 5 stud 5x110. C/bore 65.1 black finish + cap
Rear wheels
X2 MO1783 8x17 offset et35. PCD 5 stud 5x110. C/bore 65.1 black finish + cap

Red and Black really work for me!!!

[aron916]

IMO these are the best looking wheels to go with a black vx.
Think the combo works great. Shame you got rid!

I have just spoken to James at Compomotive (top bloke) and he has said that he can do the 5 spoke Speedlinealikes for £773.00 delivered within the UK in most colours (matt black, gloss black, Gold, Silver etc). - This price is avaliable to anyone on the forum, usual price is £1,005 Also spoke to Chris at Speedline Corse (UK) and he may be able to do a full set of Speedline Corse type 2110 SL (as fitted to the VXR220) for £840 per set. The problem is that the wheels are made in italy. He has front wheels in stock but the rears will need to be made - A minimum order of around 100 wheels may be required but chris did say if there was a largish group buy the minimum order maybe able to be significantly reduced. Sorry for the essay

[CocoPops]

At £840 per set of Speedlines (VXR wheels) I think you might have a goer. There are a few people who are willing to pay over £1000 for a 2nd hand set. Just depends how low the 100 can be reduced to.

[JG]

you'll never get 50 people interested. At least you'll never want to take the risk on that sort of quantity. at 15 sets, 30 wheels you might just do it, still high risk though.

[JG]

oh and i'd have a set
