250 New wheels - thoughts?

Got some Speedline Turinis from Rimstyle. I'm not too sure though, what do you guys think?

 

Yeah I was hoping I wouldn't have to have black wheels as I've currently got some black BBS CH's on with wobble bolts but fancied a different colour. I think black is all that works though!

And funnily enough I was on the phone to speedline the other day as they are part of Ronal who supply us wheels at work and when I found out I got in touch with Speedline direct. They offered me a set at cost but the order with Rimstyle had already gone through so they sent me some goodies instead haha.

Shame I think I'm going to have to return these wheels anyway because of the paint defects. Just need to decide whether to go for another set or a refund. I fancy the 265 'Tibor' wheels if I need black wheels, as I don't like the BBS's ...

 

Yeah I think you're both right about black 19's. I've got Steev wheels though and I'm not a fan. I'm also not a fan of the cost of 19" tyres!

What are your thoughts on the Tibor wheels?

 

Thoughts?

 

They were £1433 delivered with Michelin PS2's, so not cheap! And the paint defects are really bugging me, so I took the two that I had fitted off the car straight away and will call Rimstyle on Tuesday and see what they say.

Yeah I got a picture earlier actually:

Could look good! Rally spec

Ahh who's your mate?? Is he at Rimstyle or Speedline??

 

Yeah I'm in two minds about the BBS's ...

The BBS or Speedline?

The car badly needs lowering. I've got some H&R springs I'll fit next week. If they aren't good enough then V3's it is ...

 

Ahh you reckon? Might do that! Would make life a lot easier lol. Still tempted by the 265 wheels though ...

Ah it was a guy called Gary that I dealt with. Great company! I just hope they can offer me a refund on these speedlines as the paint is pretty poor.

Would you be interested?? As above, I'm half tempted!

 

They are 18x8 et50 and a centre bore of 72.6 (spigot rings fitted of course). PCD of 5x112 so adjustable washer bolts are used which work a treat!

Yeah the car definitely needs lowering. Got some H&R springs which are now being returned as H&R coilovers are on order

 

I'll be honest, I've always been unsure because they are called 'wobble bolts' but after buying them and using them I'm more than happy to use them. The ones I bought have locking wheel nuts which are actually TUV approved. They simply have a washer with a slightly bigger internal diameter than a standard bolt.

If it means anything, I'm an engineer at Bentley and I'm happy to use them. I've ran them for a while and they are still torqued up.

The wheels are for sale if you are interested

 

Well I've ordered the Tibor wheels from Renault now, so the BBS wheels are for sale if anyone is interested!
