Whats a boy to do?

[PETROLHEAD]

And when i say Boy, i mean a 40 something that hasn't grown up yet (and shows no sign of soon either! )


Having finally assembled all the components, i can finally finish building my Sud wheels, or rather the wheels intended for the Sud following a spring rebuild into its new guise.

Trouble is, just which ones do i use?

I appreciate its a nice dilemma to be in, but i really do need 3 sets of wheels,

One for everyday use, another for occasional track use, and then a trailer queen set of show wheels

[FatGimp]

OOOOooooooo Nice!

Middle ones

[Sud 145]

I think you've answered your own qestion Shrew.

[PETROLHEAD]

For which use?

I'm using all three (Greedy Boy!) but for which purpose?


My thoughts were,

The middle Compomotive FH500 for everyday

The left Compomotive TS601 for occasional Track

The right Revolution RFX for Show

[alfachris]

Tart....................middle ones or the right ones

[PETROLHEAD]

for what?

[KevJTD]

you need to get 'em away from that mk2 golf before they get infected with dub diseases


middle ones will look best, so they are the ones for road use

other sets will only get covered in grass so it doesn't matter, either on (off) track or in a show field

[Veesix75]

For track - whichever are the lightest in weight.

For road - the strongest ones that won't bend when you hit a pothole at speed with stiff suspension.

[PETROLHEAD]

I hear you Tim, and Kev

Because they are all similarly constructed, the weight difference is neglibel and they will all make me cry if i damage one"

[Spacenut]

Hmm, tricky. How about a different wheel on each corner

Seriously though, RFXs all day long - you know it makes sense. Love the gold finish, I'll have me a set of turbo hubs done out like that one day...

Lauren

[Veesix75]

The first ones for me...

[PETROLHEAD]

Lauren, the Compomotive Turbo's are the last ones on my shopping list, they are my equal first favourite rims alongside rfx's, but finding them in 15" has been near impossible over the last few years that ive been seriously looking, even in a different but workable stud pattern, very very scarce indeed.

But yes, Turbo's with gold centres and polished deep dish would be gorgeous, and look amazing on your Nova.

What size would you be after Lauren? Just in case i come across anything useable, and what pcd's can you work with?


Tim, you like the ts601's do you, is that for day to day or track day?

[Veesix75]

Day to day for the first ones Shrew....

[Kegsti66]

Black rims for track.
Personally I really love the Compomotive sets and can't decide which ones I prefer. What colour scheme will the car be Shrew ?

[PETROLHEAD]

Hi Keith

Right now im thinking graphite grey, similar to the centres on the Compomotive fh500's in the middle, with the trofeo body stuff picked out in black.

Maybe some gold accents such as brakes, suspension, bits and bobs, for when i do run wheels with gold in,

Who knows? The canvas is currently blank, but i have already bought a load of grey paint! Lol!
