Adam,

Shouldn't that be 205/45/16? Think 17 inch tyres on 16inch wheels might be a problem to inflate.

Got these on today, couldn't resist taking a snap even though the car is filthy and I hadn't painted or fitted the centre caps or the wheel nut covers! Better pics will appear in the gallery over the weekend..



Very pleased!

I think black wheels on silver look excellent - if this gb hadn't come up I might have considered powder-coating my standard ones but no need now!

I've nearly decided to sell my second set - watch this space..

[MaDFreeBiRD]

can you keep the space quiet?

[markiii]

since I've already got speedlaines on the VXR though you guys might like to see them side by side

only noticeable difference so far is that the 17" rears have a 1" bigger diameter dish into which the wheel bolts sit

I'll get some comparison weights up when the A039s come off my speedlines

Pics below, Speedlines on the car, Speedlinealikes resting next to them

[JG]

Markiii can you weigh them?

[jasvxt]

Put money on the Compos being lighter, they didn't weigh much more than the Team Dynamics

[JG]

Have to say, i'd never noticed how different the spokes on the speedlines look between front and back.

[mandarinvx]

Yep, the Compo's have a more 'balanced' look, where the spoke sizes are proportionate between the different size wheels, which is why the 'dish' is a bit bigger

And that's why, as stated above, they are better..
