yeah, i do like them, but i cant justify spending that much money on a set of rims only for the missus to kerb them.

Good luck.

A lot of money for 17s but they seem to me more popular than the 18s due to tyre prices,
Gary.

Id love the 17s instead of the 18" Pegs i have now, i could lower the car without fear of having rubbing issues and still have enough room to fit my 4pots without spacers. But, the cost on those are just horrendous and they dont come with tyres.

Your all very right guys, the 17's are very appealing for many reasons, I am gonna fit fit Pzero's, should I be lucky with the auction...LUCKY!...over £600 for second hand rims less caps n tyres :frown:
I really like Pegs tho, just as much as Titans so I hope to be successful with the bidding...only problem is I have to be out and about tonight so will miss the end of the auction. Have to keep my fingers x'd that my maximum is enough to do the work for me!!!
By the way is it me or are peg's (17's in particular) extremely rare second hand?

looks like congrats are in order, unless someone else has got the ebay username of markellul....lol.
i'll hopefully be taking some photos of the car tomorrow, done quite alot of cosmetic changes to the cars exterior, i was hoping to get 'spotted' first tho, dont think there's many people on here from Swindon, even took it to Reading and Bristol to get spotted with no luck....lol

Yes indeed, thanx Firetstorm, the wheels are mine, well they will be once I have picked em up and paid for em :) Probably paid well over the odds but hey its only money and I'm sure I'll be real happy when their Zero'd up and on the car lookin fine :B_blite:
I look forward to seeing the photo's of your new exterior mods. I too will be doing quite a bit to mine over the next few weeks so I hope to add a whole host of photos onto the site as soon as its ready. It would seem that my list of mods keeps gettin longer...like for example, now I have the 17's I am just gonna have to fit a posh bigger front brake set up...yipppee shiny new fancy calipers!!!
Take it easy, l8rs...

Nice one mate, how much did you pay for them in the end?
Post 97185 by Vikingxl on 2006-04-10 06:52:49
Congrats on the new purchase mate
Post 97243 by T5SLAVE on 2006-04-10 10:53:45
Yo peeps,
I ended up payin £646 for the rims, hope they're in good order?
I was plannin on visitin some family up in the Midlands this weekend so will be picking the wheels up at the same time...that kinda saves me the £40 postage but I'll spend way more than that in diesel for the van, still killin 2 birds tho, so that's all cool.
Am I right in saying the optimum tyre sizes for those wheels are 215/45/17...please correct me if I'm wrong as I plan on starting my search for tyres soon, thanx.
