Title: G40 wheels, post up your pictures
Post by: benh999 on January 23, 2010, 09:34:12 am
Hi folks, looking at wheel options for G40's, besides BBS and steels what other rims are people running?  really looking for something different.  Could you post up your pics of your G40's rims, cheers

Ben ;)

Comp. MO's are the bollocks. One of only a few aftermarket alloy wheels I like. They look superb on Paul's G40. 8) 8)

I'd love a set of MOs. Awesome looking wheels :)

I've had a few sets on mine, including 14in BBS RAs which I've left off the list.

Adikt Speed 15x6.5 (sold these in December!)
(http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q290/AlexGrantUK/06-01-02.jpg)

Everyone says 15s are too big but I reckon it depends on the wheel. Always liked mine on 15s.

Had these Revolution RFX 14x7 and 14x7.5 for less than 48 hours, got them cheap but couldn't afford arch work so had to sell them. I've already got rolled rear arches, and these still rubbed. The car's been built to be driven hard, so these would've ruined it really.

Speedline 14x6 - still on these, hand refurbished in my garage. A bit shit up close but they suit it. Boring though.
(http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs176.snc1/6615_249229760537_543845537_8130957_2340852_n.jpg)

Should be on new rims before the summer. :)

Another vote for MO's from me. I've wanted a set since I was about 19 when I had an AX GT.

Post by: SamG40 on February 06, 2010, 06:15:26 pm
My missus (and Pete) think they look chavvy but I dont so they are staying white! Although I could just have blinkers on because I've wanted them in white for so many years. Although saying that I think they suit the grey Alex, thought you'd have something to say.  ;)

i know its not a g40, or even a polo, but i loved these wheels my friend put on his old mk1 golf a few years ago.
no idea what they are... he said they were some old school OZ's but i dont know if thats true

:D

they are gorgeous, would love to know what they are, someone must know, they look like a posh set of OZ turbos
