Those Team Dynamics are dead sexy!
Silver rim wheels are nice, but not my 'tea of cup'

yeah cheers, tbh mate im not too keen on those rims but out of them all id take the drifz :)

yeh well Im basically looking at black because they go with headlights and rear lights etc etc.
and basically they have to be 15" because I like to have people in the rear of my car occasionally and it rubs with 2 peopl in the back at the moment :(

know what you mean on that mate, i dont really like arch rubbing so i will put 15" on mine, oh and have you looked at the OZ superleggera(sp) they look really good on saxos my mates got them in anthracite i think and looks awesome :thumbup:

The wheels on it already look nice, although we need a side on shot really

superleggera's are the best wheels ever made, (no reason for me saying that)
hehe

Yeh I've looked at them but I don't think you can get them standard in anthracite or black so it would mean getting them resprayed which I'm not really wanting to do :(

The wheels on it already are curbed a bit but they need some love and attention really. They are also too big for the flat arches so they really have to go although I love them :sad:

You used to be able to get the superleggeras in a althracite colour, not too sure if they are now discontinued now.
They have updated the superleggera's now to the ultraleggera's:
basically more light weight but not as good looking!
SNewham
29th August 2006, 23:13
Might give OZ a ring see if they still do them then because I've always liked them, oh and the TSW Pace as well.

agree on that one mate, however if you can find a set of superleggeras in anthracite or black i would seriosly consider it they look lovely.

It's between the Wolfrace Street Octanes and the Team Dynamics Pro Race 1's for me.
I just can't decide whether to say 16" if I go with the Team Dynamics or not :(

i dont really like anything bigger than 15"s riding on smaller cars tbh when you see people with saxos riding on 17s+ i always think its a hatchback not a range rover ffs spoils the car imo

Take the wheels of the Audi/VDub? in the background...
On a serious note I think you should stick with the wheels you have at the moment, in keeping with the silver theme...
SNewham
29th August 2006, 23:28
yeh same here, I'm gonna go hae a look around some shops tomorrow, hopefully influence my choice :)
Talon
29th August 2006, 23:31
dont rush your decision mate, nothing worse than forking out loads for some wheels then deciding they look shite

spoilt it with the crap on the top :P
anyway...i think you should stay to silver wheels my self....
SNewham
29th August 2006, 23:41
it's so bloody hard I dont know how you lot choose. I'm going to do a few photoshops tomorrow as well. It'll be October before I've made my mind up probably.
15" wheels would set my mind at rest about lowering though I think.

29th August 2006, 23:43
i actually like the ones you have but if you want to change then number 4
SNewham
29th August 2006, 23:52
better pic of the Team Dynamics Drifz

I'm really liking these, smae mount of spokes as mine as well.

29th August 2006, 23:56
what you got now?
tsw evo's?
SNewham
29th August 2006, 23:56
I think slammed on those Team Dynamics drifz would look ace, I think the wolfrace street octanes are too common, the team dynamics pro race 1s/1.2s have too many spokes for the car but these ones re perfect.
and they just stocked some in local Halfrauds :)
SNewham
29th August 2006, 23:56
what you got now?
tsw evo's?
TSW Revos 16"
well I think they changed between being TSW Evo R's and TSW Revos at some point.

drifz are alright saw some 15"s at r-tec today and they honestly look tiny
SNewham
30th August 2006, 15:48
Went to Halfrauds today and this lovely chap helped me out. They let me put some drifz 15" 50 profiles up against py car so I took a pic.
Also did a bit of photoshop workon it for a better effect :thumbup: watcha think?

If you are buying new rims especially the wolfrace street octanes just to remind you that you get discount at r-tec as you are a premium member, so they work out cheaper than motorworld :Y: so don't forget to compare prices on there...
I think that the drifts look the best... and you have to buy spacers to get the octanes to fit so if i was in your situation i would go for the drifts...

if you do get them from r-tec mate be prepared to wait a while, i had to wait about 4 hours and my mate had to wait a long while aswell, cus you can`t book it in.

Think the driftz are the best mate, 1st time I've ever seen them and think they're really nice. Plus the octanes suck! :P

The Sax-P premium membership discount only applies to orders made online... so there shouldn't be too much waiting around :innocent:
