Well my wheels arrived today, original 16" alpinas, I like having the two sizes it kinda balances the touring, much more stable now on corners. Ive cleaned her up a bit since the last pic

What do ya think?

So many pics!

slight lowering next then going to custom build a new kit for her

Parksie,

Bought them secondhand. keep looking mate you will find a set. Only took me about two weeks to track some down. I was lucky to find such a clean set but just buy any and get them refurbished.

Cool wheels but don't lower the car too much !

Fri Oct 28, 2005 8:42 pm

hi mate, how much did they cost you and which part of edinburgh are you from?

Fri Oct 28, 2005 9:16 pm

C2HEG - cheers mate there the ones

Thanks again. they arrived 2day.

Fuzzy - Im in the north near Leith, where abouts are you? I moved here three weeks ago from Cornwall - Oh I paid 650 to the door, alot of cash but I reckon they would sell again as they are hard to find.

Please dont tell me if you have a set for sale for 200 quid

look lush doug, but u wanna be careful against those kerbs,...?

the last pic made me cringe

Fri Oct 28, 2005 11:28 pm

johnono: I can assure you it's not touching! I am definatly more aware of curbs since i put them on though - actually im quite paranoid...

It's a comprimise - dont want it stuck out in the road eiether.

Oh how I long for a garage.
