I need some inspiration on wheels for the T5, I really want a set of pegs, but looking un likely! im getting near new tyres(after a month,doh!) prefer to change the wheels! so show me what ya got please :D
these are my current alloys, Fox R4's. I wasn't too keen on them when i first picked them up but i'velearnt to live with them
& these are my old wheels. I really liked these but they were just too weak & didn't like potholes

Can I ask.....what's involved in the sided exhaust conversion?
These are 18" pegs on my last car...
These are 17" Titans on my current car..
Very smart TC. What was your last one and why did you sell it?
And mine with pegs...

[/quote] Cheers, my last car was just a normal 855 glt, it'd been rica'd,K&N'd etc... the usually stuff, sadly wrote it off one night pulling out from behind a parked car on the wrong side of the road. Someone bought it off me and apparently it's now on the road again.....somewhere...
[quote=AlanG;246542]Can I ask.....what's involved in the sided exhaust conversion?[/quote] i was looking for someone with the exhaust coming out the side skirt lol. I guess you mean my twin exit? Powerflow made it for me, it goes thru the rear beam/suspension the same as the normal exhaust then a Y-piece splits the 2. The passenger side carries on as normal & the other side goes under the spare wheel well & out that side. I just used a Dremmel to cut the bumper the other side (think there might of been a small angle section that needed grinding as well)

pegs again.....dam these wheels are common lol
pegs, vst's and kahns(which are for sale)
Another couple for you, pegs and vovans:B_thumb:
[quote=jamest5r;246607]Another couple for you, pegs and vovans:B_thumb:[/quote] look like titans to me. in case it wasn't a spelling mistake, it's volans, not vovans.
[quote=volvolised;246576]pegs, vst's and kahns(which are for sale)[/quote] How much mate?? are they 18's? Cheers
[quote=irf;246611]look like titans to me. in case it wasn't a spelling mistake, it's volans, not vovans.[/quote] Thanks mate, heavy night not been up long:slap:
Mine with Dark Anthracite Titans, much darker than usual )...........
My old car with Tethys ..................................
Right probably a silly question but whats the difference in pegs a titans. Pictures up top??
Pegs have the R emblem on them, and are " usually " 18" where as Titans are 17". There are some 17" Pegs going about, iirc they were an option.
Pegs are a lot squarer than Titans, they have an angled,sharp look compared to the Titans that have softer lines, also the Pegs where available in 17,18 & 19", plus they also had an "R" symbol on one of the spokes. Titans where only made in 17".
ohh, dam u all with ur pegs!!some nice rims, 5 spokes, or multi spokes seem the way forward!
what wheels you got mate and how much you willing to spend i've just brought a new car and it's got 18inch pegs on that i might be tempted to part with
ive got these ones:D
pm'd matey
Those are 16" persus if im not mistaken, usually on the awd or tdi :D
Pegs also came in a variant size 17" called satelites (slightly different shape, but with the R on them)
My current set is Orestes (17")
A touch bland, as they fitted them as standard to loads of S60 & V70 models from about 2004-2007.
Comets are where its at tho!
p.s. (my 1000th post!)
Congrats Mr Badger,you are in with the wood now....:funkybana
I always wanted to be a tree!
[quote=t5_carl;246770]ive got these ones:D

i just see both or you cars are the same color as mine lol olive green and touquise sorry about the speeling i cant think today lol
Not an 850, but close enough. These are the 17" Propus split rim alloys made by BBS which were an option on the C70 GT:

Here's mine...

Now that IS different!!
18 inch pegs were a free optional upgrade. Just buy quality replicas ,much cheaper.
Titan's also had a lip around the edge of the wheel where as the Peg's are flush all the way to the edge of the wheel ;)
no-ones mentioned Thor's yet, again not an 850 but Bonny was feeling left out lol
I won't post mine you've seen enough Pegs.:banana:(and Volans by the way)
I've got 3 sets of wheels... standard columbas, 17" dotz reflex, and 17" team dynamics Jets..... The dotz are up for sale......
Pegs and Volans are a very nice wheel. I, personally, have always been a fan of Comets. In fact it was one of the things I held out for when I was looking for a C70. I spent 2hrs cleaing the buggers this afty! Whipped 'em off, give 'em a clean, and then popped them back on. Then I started on the wheels (wa-hey!)...
[quote=AlanG;246928]Now that IS different!![/quote] Just what I was thinking !
