JimC Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Guys, I have recently had my brakes and suspensioin upgraded from stock. Brakes consisting of new 3G slotted and drilled discs all round, UK spec callipers, Chris Wilson pads, braided hoses Suspension is Chris Wilsons. My only remaining job for now is new wheels. The car currently runs 18's that came with the car when it was imported.I have spent a lot of time and elbow grease refurbing these myself, but there is only so much you can do!!! I want to replace these with 19's, with a deep dish, as of all the sups i've looked at, deep dish wheels look awesome.I know handling is not as good etc, but my brother runs 18's and my dad 19's. The difference is negligable. Unless your racing ,or a lot of track days, i think the aesthetics of 19's is well worth it! Does anyone know of any 19" deep dish wheels...available and that fit UK spec brakes. I have been looking for ages with little success!

JimC Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 Just in case anyone was wondering, this set-up with CW wilson suspension an the 19" vortex R's is working spot on! Handling is good. Dont notice much difference on the road compared to my previous 18" wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDriver Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 if your after something like these talk to ibrar the trader on here One of the best set of wheels one can buy But needs a lot of cleaning!
