  • Thinking about going back to standard wheels...

    Thinking about going back to standard wheels BUT.....

    A: I no longer own a set of standard wheels which means I may end up doing a deal with my current wheels to obtain a set.

    and

    B: I have no idea what my compomotives would be worth??

    Basically I'm currently running old shape 8x18 MO's in anthracite with a lovely mint green accent. They've got 225/40/18 Yoko Parada spec 2's on and have about 5mm tread on all 4 corners.

    The wheels are a funny offset (et23) but I have them spaced out with 12mm hubcentric spacers and they fill the arches nicely without any issue.

    If I was to sell I'd obviously offer the spacers with the wheels.

    So... what I'm wondering is what do you people in the know reckon they are worth??

    Few pics to help show condition....

    I parked behind you at the photoshoot and I thought your car looked spot on as it is.

      Thanks man , to be fair it's exactly the way I wanted it when I started modding it but after 5 years with Comp's and Morrette's I'm just fancying a change... so I'm thinking about standard wheels and headlights as I've always liked the look of a standard(ish) car but with sorted brakes and handling.

      By the way , If you were parked behind me at the pod does that mean yours is the ridiculously clean white one?? I was massively impressed by that car , I think I even mentioned that to you on the day.

          Dug I'd say buy a set of standard wheels but keep the comps so you can change back if you wanted.

            Ideally I'd like to , but with 3 project vehicles on the go at once and a trip to Indonesia planned for June/July , money is kinda stretched. lol

              Standard lights all round with your comps would look

              Yeah, I have the white one. Cheers for the comments.

                I'd keep the wheels, they look the nuts on there. Spend the money on a proper set of calipers instead to go with those rotors and bells

                    Would have to be standard for me as I've always loved em. Front brakes looking good too.

                        I'm with Cochyn on this one, put spare money towards a nice set of stoppers to fill them up. The wheels look awesome. Standard headlines would look nice
