    Recently refurb turbines and good tyres

    As above, i've got these for sale.

    Tyres are continental sportcontact in 195/45 with good tread, wheels are the usual turbine shape and come with all caps and key...IIRC recently refurbed at proclean (?) by the previous owner.

    Nowt wrong with them at all...i swapped dannyt a 2ltr for them but they slow my 1.2 down so i've gone back to 14" rsi wheels....also prefer the look of rsi wheels TBH


    Based in Aberdeen but will courior at 50quid...reasonable offers?


    Pic of them at the weekend...

    Wasn't really that noticable sub 50mph (i.e 1st/second gears) but beyond that they hurt the top speed quite a bit; with my RSIs on it'll get to 90 reasonably easy and quickly (for a 1.2!) but with the turbines i couldn't get above 80 and became reluctant from 4th gear onwards.

    Quite surprised at this TBH as the 14s have the same rolling circumference tyre-for-tyre and are only about 3kg lighter wheel-for-wheel. However, with only 60 horse and a heavy-ass 16v interior maybe i shouldn't be that surprised...

    that was quick mate!

    hope they've been ok for ya!

    Just to mention they were refurbed by proclean around 2 months ago, they cost £120 for the full refurb, then the price of the wheels and then the price of the tires, these are like brand new!

    Good luck!

    Danny
