i couldn\'t help myself i had to buy em brand new in the box
only problem now is getting the tryes i want which are discontinued
however just found a set but will cost me a fortune to get em here and to buy em
how about these huh people how do you think they will look on a silver series 2?
Wow Mick, they look nice. Are they chrome?
What size are they?
Quote from: Ian65;688620Wow Mick, they look nice. Are they chrome?

genuine chrome modulars 13 x 7
looking at some 235/50/13 bridgestone eagers(discontinued) for rear and some 215/50/13 eagers for front white wall lettering will look real old skool
can\'t wait..
thou the wife will kill me if she see\'s just how much i\'m spending..
Wide 13" tyres are a struggle to get hold of. The fashion is for larger diameter wheels these days.
this is roughly how she will look thou no where near as low
You will need a 3 foot steering wheel with those on!
Keith...
That rex is lower than a rattle snakes scrote!!!

it\'s all good keith driving a series 1 with those exact wheels on some 15 or so years ago i remember how forcefull you had to be, and by god did it stick to the road a porche will have trouble keeping with you on tight windies.
i may be older and while i\'ve not trained seriously for 3 years i\'m a hell of a lot stronger than i used to be

I like it! As Keith says though, you\'ll need arms like Popeye to park it.

And it stops the Mrs from getting behind the wheel :driving

3 years ago i could bench press 160 kilo\'s (now might struggle at 120kg\'s i think) and dead lift 310kg\'s so no drama there will keep my forarms in decent shape.. wish the rest of me didn\'t look so bad thou LOL
should never of given up training!

I haven\'t but if it\'s as good as the rust prev paint, I imagine it\'ll do the trick
Aradite is my usual way of repairing them though.
I\'d be very interested Mick if it doesn\'t look like my old tank! thanks!
Just a thought, when did they change the size of the tanks?
was it btw series 1 to series 2?
or
series 2 to series 3?

i\'m having a great day finding stuff i need (but am spending a fortune) check these out lowered kings now only shocks to go suspension wise
I cant wait to see the car with this lot on!
Mick i used to have king springs ended up going for coilovers from ReSpeed how low do you want to go?
Quote from: mpk490p;689581Mick i used to have king springs ended up going for coilovers from ReSpeed how low do you want to go?
not too low these ones are the 1 1/2\' lowering ones not the superlow 2 inch ones.
will proberlly put these on the silver series 2 along with the wheels and tryes.
now have to find another set of chrome modgies 13 x7 4 x 114.3 and more eagers for my project build. for the project build it\'ll be super lows 2 inch drop.
and not to mention i\'m going to need some elford sonic\'s for a series 1 i think very soon.
cheers

back in February AR on the forum was selling his series 2 for £400 and included with the sale was a set of polished Elford sonics..... very nice they looked too.
He\'s now keeping the car but might be worth checking if he\'ll do a deal for the wheels...
