Post 562585 by Wobbly Dave on 2013-01-15 00:27:51
Not as sexy as my 19s were when they were new (and not stolen :cry: )

I would but I can't do anything with the pic on ebay, well, if you got your car in JUST the right spot and took the pic from Just the right angle I might be able to do something...

i think lowered on 18"s is enough for me with these welsh roads
Post 562596 by Wobbly Dave on 2013-01-15 00:41:55
Not a fan of black alloy spokes (unless as an accent colour) because they just disappear

And darker rims certainly suite the saffy better imho, Nice rims tho dave for sure with the silver
Post 562607 by c70geoff on 2013-01-15 00:55:01
thats my thoughts mr merc the black against the saff

must admit they are a stunning wheel, very tempted with those myself tbh. Being V50's i bet you'll need the centre bore machining to fit
Post 562627 by V70 Graham on 2013-01-15 05:31:01
They do look a nice set of wheels
Post 562639 by kfc on 2013-01-15 08:17:17
Is it wrong that i feel a little bit funny!!!!! they are real nice.
Post 562654 by iancho on 2013-01-15 10:51:45
I have never liked the black alloy's on saffy's, I don't know why somehow they just do not look right. Moleadrian has some black one's on his silver V70 and they look the nuts!
Not trying to put you off just adding my thoughts i'm sure that there are plenty that will disagree :smile:
Post 562665 by c70geoff on 2013-01-15 11:38:51
The v50 ones where for the link purpose only fella as I have contacted then and they do an 850/v70/c70 set

Post 562671 by Wobbly Dave on 2013-01-15 12:40:49
Imported from the US - the shop no longer exists sadly & I have never found anyone supplying 19" deep dish with the same offset & 10J rears

Alot of the older members will know this already..... But for the newer members.....
Dave is World Famous!
If you look for headlights on e-bay they even have a photo Dave's car on there with the 19's!
Now thats street cred! lol
Those wheels are the nut's Dave, pity they were stolen and melted down to make shiny bit's for frankies engine :(

That seller asked me for the pictures back in 2006 when I first bought mine. Sold them to Spesh for 50 quid 3 years later and put the later rear lights in too.

They are actually my favourite style of wheel at the moment , there are a lot of German cars going around with that sort of style and finish at the moment.

Post 564883 by Wobbly Dave on 2013-01-21 23:00:20
Enjoy. Keep your other ones for winter - fit winter tyres.

Post 564906 by Wobbly Dave on 2013-01-21 23:35:19
16T comes free with every t5
Post 564907 by c70geoff on 2013-01-21 23:43:16

Post 564909 by Wobbly Dave on 2013-01-21 23:46:14
Actually I was meaning buy a T5 then you get the 16T with it.
Post 564911 by c70geoff on 2013-01-21 23:49:30
lol i like my ginge way too much to get a replacement for her so will just give her botox
Post 564912 by Wobbly Dave on 2013-01-21 23:57:04
Just that I have a sense of inevitability that if you start tuning the LPT - then sooner or later you'll find that you've spend god knows how much catching up to the standard T5 - and it isn't quite enough. You wont be the first.

They are quite rude when you look at them and ponder. Possibly you need a rude mind, but I cant help but see a lot of splayed legs - perhaps thats the attraction?? Subconsciously obviously. But they are very very nice!!!
