Which Alloys to go for:

Post by ZeroK66 » Wed Jun 07, 2006 2:41 pm

Hi Guys,

May end up getting a new set of alloys soon. Very tempted by the MTM Bimoto style/nuvolari wheels. The RS4 reps do just look naturally good... only down side is they are a little common now.

What do you think?

Thats about what I have seen... with a set of Goodyear F1's they quoted me £870... pricey, but worth the better rubber I think.

I am waiting on Rochford to let me know the weight of the wheel as this will play a big part in my choice.

Do you have a pic of the 007's - I know what the novolari's are because that is what I am considering.

I do like them , but they take o so long to clean . I think that the 007 have that little bit extra the rs4 reps ..

Too rich for me - I am always kerbing my wheels so I wouldn't dare
drive anywhere with those. Do they improve the handling much?
