Now, if it was my car .... I would either fit Black Volk TE37's with a massive offset and red decals OR a white set of Advan RGII's with red decals.

How about some Compomotives Frayz? I know you love your British stuff and you don't get more British than that. Another option is someone like Image. They can make alloys up to your specification and, within reason, the design too.

It's all well and good spending 2k on wheels and tyres if you have nothing better to spend that on. I bet you would have a list as long as your arm

powder coat those wheels & spend the money you save on carpet cleaner and bananas - job done :thumb:

Id love a set of MOs stu, one of my favorite wheels ever.

However i cant bring myself to go from the lovely flowformed speedlines that are 9kg to over 11-12kg for the compos.

Thats a fair bit of unsprung weight that i just dont need ya know. Am i good enough of a driver to notice that change? Probably not, but i cant be good can it.

Anyone know the weights of the Revolution Milleniums?

Every kilo you lose from reciprocating mass is equal to 8 kilos of non-dynamic mass
3 kilo per wheel is nearly 100 kilos of mass 'lost'

Anyone could notice that Buddy.

Fair enough then mate, stick with the old speedlines it is then

Looking like satin black at the minute as no other colours really take my fancy
