New alloys arrived
« on: November 17, 2008, 12:16:21 pm »
Well they are here :innocent:







Silver 18" Team Dynamics pro Race 1.2's with steel inserts for high performance cars. Ultrac Sessanta's and all for the princely sum of £895 8)

Stock Pescara's are lovely, but weighed a good 3kg heavier per wheel and didn't quite have the right silver paint to match the car's colour.

I suppose I could have gone more bling, with the Work VS-XX's, but even they are still heavier and would be an absolute mare to clean.

The Volks - less than 1 kg lighter for £1,200 extra and are slightly duller in colour.

I was tempted by bothe the Speedlines and the Sparco's as they are very good quality, but again they are still as heavy in 18" form and a good £5-800 more for a less lovely looking wheel.

All in all I'm very happy with them and have promised Illyun a mini report on the Sessanta's once they have a few miles under their wing. 8)

Maybe Awesome didn't want his car to be a show stopper...   :laugh:

Acquired taste.  Perhaps better in a different colour.  ETTO.  Good price though!

I dont mind then although I do think a darker colour would have looked really good!

With regards to the Vredestein tyres, I've had them on my car for a couple of thousand miles now and have to say I am very impressed with them! They are better than the Michelin Exaltos I had on before, although it remains to be seen whether the fronts will last as long! (20k)  :smiley:
