Wheel quandary - what to do?

(1/3) > >>

tony_danza:
Right,

I currently have 2 sets of wheels, the 18" Monzas which are mint and some ratty 18" BBS I use for the track (see pic below) they aren't as light as I'd like them to be, although a good few kilos less than the Monzas so...

I have 2 plans:

(a) Shift the BBS on and get some Team Dynamics Pro race 1.2s.
*Pros - they're lighter than the BBS and therefore better.
*Cons - I don't like the look of them enough to see them as anything other than a functional item, so I'd have to keep the Monzas for daily use.

(b) Sell both on and get some Speedline Turinis
*Pros - they're also super light and look lush painted in anthracite. I could keep them on all the time and just swap tyres come track days/'ring trips.
*Cons - I'd most likely sell both sets of wheels to fund them, as I can't justify spending money and having a set of Monzas sitting in the garage unused. There's a big wait on ordering anthracite as there's none in UK stock.

JPC:
hmm...speedlines look VERY lush! how much are they for a set?

182_blue:
speedlines  :happy2:

WhiteGTI:
The speedlines are undoubtedly one of the nicest and most 'classic' looking wheel designs around!

But i think having a second set of alloys for track use is probably more sensible..I wouldn't want to risk messing up the expensive speedlines on a track!

tony_danza:
Jay, around £900 a set delivered - but I'm waiting on a call to see what the lead time is on them.

I would most likely get a 5th wheel for 'just in case' too.
