Why no picture of the other side Mr F.....!

Just because.. Lol

looks bang on. did you collect your car too? is it all upand running now or you still in need of a ecu?

Unfortunately not mate, still need an ECU so until I can find one the car is just sitting there, so frustrating.

thought u was fitting to 18s so u could run your 356mm brakes?

356mm brakes?! Gulp...

I will be fitting 18's late summer, having some brake kits made up branded with my logo so as yet undecided on what colour to go for. I can't stand the yellow alloys so saw these and had to get them, especially as no one else has them.

Guess they'll be up for sale once I've got the brakes on.

If you'd like me to test the brakes instead...:-p

Liquid yellow brakes... Or maybe alien green.. Or racing blue.. Or even Storm grey, the choice will be yours.

Those wheels do look rather nice!

Did you weigh them at all?

So I can now come clean.. The reason why there was only one side as Mike full well knows is because I only had 3 wheels. I got the wheels yesterday so went and got the tyres fitted.

Whilst balancing one of the alloys it became apparent that one of them was buckled. Even with a shed load of weights it was still noticeably wobbling. Elation turned to massive disappointment so I called Rota, explained the situation and 10 minutes later received a call saying a replacement was being dispatched which I have just received. Now that is top customer service so very happy.

Just weighed the wheel and its 9kg. Not sure what OEM wheels are.. Anyone?

 

[Iain 007]

iirc the standard 200 cup wheels are around 9kg

When changing the wheels over the Renault ones did seem heavier.

Someones having the tyres but the wheels will be available. I need to get some photos as tbf they are not in great condition cosmetically but are ideal for refurbishment and will be priced favourably to reflect this.

 

[N0ddie]
