Then you'd need to specify a price on the forum in line with selling rules. This avoids bidding wars by Pm and ensures transparency in the process.

Infact the very ones that are pictured in the photograph above :D

Are you sure Adam will let you sell them? He was rather fond of them. :)

What sizes do those ATS wheels come in? And why do they rub? They're my new favourites. I'm so fickle. :wub: lol

Hi all,


Has anyone mentioned Rial GTR's in anthracite :wub: best bit of my car.


Even Cliffie mouthed at le mans 'i love your wheels' or was it you are a total twxt :)


The fronts rub with 888's err well they would with 225/45/17's fitted but the grip and stability are fantastic

The weights are ok slightly heavier than the OZ 16" at the front and same for the rear as the OZ

Fit and finish are excellent just a bit pricey at GBP1000 or so a set.


Cheers
Ian

Mod Edit----- To add a Pic of said Rial GTR (no idea whose car!)----- (cheers, CocoPops).

Rings a bell. I think I looked into it but they couldn't supply slave wheels for my MG. I used http://www.rimfurbish.co.uk/ in the end. V. Good thumbsup

IIRC the Compomotive MO6, like the MO5 are made to order so should be available thumbsup

:lol:

I was just laughing at the OP.
He starts a thread about wheels. All wheels. Needs to know about them ALL! (capitalised for effect :D) with pictures! (exclamation marks for effect :D) He can't be bothered to do a search.

So for once, we play the game, find all the picutres even design a thumbsup thumbsdown system and make it really simple (after all we established that searching was a challenge :P).

To be asked in the end:



"know where i can get my turbo alloys refurbed?"


There has never been a smilie more apt for a post than this one : :rolleyes:



:P

not a compleate wast JG. what a very good, comprehsnsive, list of a lot of wheels avaible for the VX. I think its a great effort and prehaps a few posts should be moved into its own topic and stuck in the guides and tutorials section. Was a helpfull and good read thumbsup

Hope Nat abides by the rules on pricing transparency for the Compo MO6 wheels she's interested in selling. ;) Rules is rules. :)

She said 'well actually we have a set in the garage if anyone is interested' as in if they are so hard to come by and some one see's this thread and wants some, we might have a set they could have, hardly posting a thread up in the classifieds...

Be a real shame if on the forum some one can't ask about something and another member come back with a friendly 'might have one of those in the garage if you need it' In a classified advert you must have prices I totally agree, but not in this case :)

But I'm sure she's perfectly capable of speaking for herself!

Lol I've obv caused some confusion, after Nat showed me the thread I said to point out we still had them :) we would of course raise a classified ad if we wanted to sell, but it was only a passing comment that we have a set in the garage, in fact they are currently on the car with some T1Rs :) They should be available from Comp still, think they were about £700, I can dig out the offsets etc if anyone is interested :) they look great in the flesh - quite unique in styling, especially with the flared front spokes B) no doubt not to everyone's taste tho! :P
