JamesRZ Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Hi I have currently got some 18" sterns with 275/35 rear and 245/35 fronts. If you have been following my posts trying to set up a new business and am hitting finance problems so i have decided to get a bit of extra cash to sell my alloys and get some standard wheels. What is the handling like with stock wheels on i am running at BPU and have stock suspension with tein Strut braces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvershark44 Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 The handling is about as good as it gets with standard 17's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I wish there were some 17s that worked as well as the stockers but looked a bit more modern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermonkey Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 interested in pics of the stern's too (i have some on my car) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I wish there were some 17s that worked as well as the stockers but looked a bit more modern. Mine look a 'little' more modern, little being the operative word Martin and handle really well TBH. I thought about changing to some nice 18's, but don't want to compromise the handling. Thinking of just getting mine refurbed to Polished Gunmetal, getting some new Goodyear F1 rubber and replacement centre caps. I still think sticking with the stock wheels or near enough in dimensions is best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRZ Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 I will try and get some pics taken later, how much would you say my sterns would be worth in good condition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Here are my stock 17" rims, they are powder coated black and then i smoothed the lip and polished it up. I think they look a bit more modern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRZ Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 I am really starting to like the idea of painting some stock 17's, did you paint them yourself or get someone to do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I smoothed off the cast marks then i got them powdercoated locally, as i wanted the toughest hard wearing finish i could get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
