Temporary Slag Look!

[MattyH16valver]

After selling my re-furbed speedlines to eternal life last weekend I'm temporarily borrowing his wheels while I get some tyres fitted to my brand new speedlines. I actually quite like em, so I decided to go for a spin and take a few pics! :lol: What do u reckon?

Looks pretty cool mate. I quite like it. Reckon its worth keeping a set like that just for a change? :wink:

What are they? Pro race 1.2's?

Must say I prefer the willy wheels by a fair margin. But I think the white ones would set the car off more if it was lowered a bit instead of OE.

Not that keen on them mate, lol.

You buying brand new gold ones?!

[eternalife]

MattyH - Nearly as clean as when I gave them to you :lol:

1Fast6 - Pro Race 1.2's the 7J version.

Matrix Guy - He already has some Brand New Speedlines.

I say it totally takes away the fact you've spent mega money restoring the willy..

Get those new uns on pronto!

That I do NOT believe lol, they were rank when i last saw them on your car lol!

Love them, i really want them! lol

Yeah, took me a while, car was off the road for a good bit. I ended up disconnecting half the loom and ripping out the thick black cable for the battery/alternator/starter/ earth etc.....was quite a fidly job! Glad its sorted though now...cars as good as ever.

Wheels are only temporary while I get some tyres fitted to the new speedlines.....think as 1fast6 said, it would prob look better on the white wheels if it was lowered! 8)

Good on you for putting brand new wheels on the road though!

I'd never ever ever buy new ones for the very good reason that they'll be buggered within months!

Sounds like a Stromba-ism to me :wink:

Mat Browns mate used some new ones on the road and they perfect quite a few years after.

IMO as long as you look after the wheels (clean / protective coatings of wheel protection) I doubt they will get buggered.

I'm talking all weathers though, will these see rain, snow, gritters, sleet, mud, fresh tarmac, gravel and a few wheel off tyre changes disc changes pad changes etc?

If yes I'm ready to be proved wrong :D

Not having a go at you (well not here and not yet :wink: ).
I am only going by what Mat Brown posted on another forum.

Do agree regarding the all weather/conditions the alloys will need to endure, but MattyH is Mr Meticulous - if anyone can keep a set of wheels in good nick its him.

[Daz.]

Thats what I mean, I doubt matty will have them on all year round or will not use the car in bad weather - know what you mean about mats mates wheels but were they only 2 years old if I recall?

Yeah I'll only be using them for spring/summer and autumn and stick some older turdbines or something on for winter...i'm not stupid enough to spend £700 on some wheels to let them perish....may even garage the car next winter. As mentioned as long as u maintain them and keep on top of the brake dust and keep them well waxed its easy. 8) Hows urs coming on fella?
