Set of wheels

Mongo · Dec 7, 2013

And before you all start, NO, i don't want Carlos Fandango super wide's ok

However, i would be interested in a new set of rims, as the ones on my RR resemble spongebob square pants mate the star fish... Patrick i think his name is.

Tried the bay of E, and it's all a bit silly on there, as most sets of wheels cost more than i paid for me RR in the first place

Anyone???????

I've just put my set of 16" back on for the winter ( I run a set of All Terrains for the Winter). Other than they look better It always makes me wonder why the hell I run a set of 18" for the rest of the year. The ride is so much better with the 16" on.
There are some quite nice looking 16" Discovery 2 and P38 rims out there but I must admit the P38 looks better on the 18".
Choose well sir,

Dave

Have to agree on the ride with 16's, SO much better ride. Would put some back on mine but it came with 18's.

I didn't think L322 wheels would fit so i didn't ask.... wouldn't know where to start with cutting and welding wheel rims dear chap.

Out of interest, i found this item for sale on the bay of E...

Box of 30 Packs Wrigleys Extra Peppermint Sugar Free Chewing Gum | eBay

it's located in Doncaster... oop north, so i'm wondering if i can officially call this item E-bay gum :hysterically_laughi:hysterically_laughi:hysterically_laughi:hysterically_laughi:hysterically_laughi:hysterically_laughi:hysterically_laughi

I've got a set of 18's already... so i'm thinking about the set of 16's.

Only downside i can think of is that the wheel arches will look mahoosive

Where abouts are you located?

what sort of money were you looking for?

And what do yours look like?

Landy lance · Dec 8, 2013

Running a set of disco D4 19" rims on mine,have been for over a year now and every thing is good,I must admit the old 16" were a bit softer ride but not a massive difference,fitting the 19"s showed a weak link with the steering damper replaced it and happy days again

gfromleeds · Dec 8, 2013

Yea I went up from 16s to the above 18s and she started to wonder/tramline abit at the time i thought it was just because i hadent found the "sweet spot" for the tire pressure's turned out was a failing track rod end thats wasent evedent on the 16s

very nice mate, did they take a lot to get to that standard of work, the masking must have been a pain to do

16" wheels, 18" wheels, 19" wheels, providing they have the correct tyres fitted are all the same O/D so will all fill the wheel arch equally. I have 19s on mine and they just look more proportionate than the 16s but are no larger in rolling radius and fill the aches exactly the same. L322 wheels will fit but you need new nuts and spigots.

Was time consuming ill say that lol
I did the sharp lines down the spokes by hand and brush (I used to be a decorator so have a steady hand) then masked the rest out and sprayed it! finishing with 5 coats of clear probably about 10 hours work over 3 weekends (allowing plenty of time for Paint to completely dry between coats)
