Recommend me some alloys.

Post by easty-5 »

After some smaller Alloys for the 2. Currently have 18s which are a bit too big for my liking so looking to downsize to 16s or 17s. Have about £800ish to spend inc. Tyres.

Ideally I'd love a set of 17"x 8 Rota Torques up front and 17" x 9 Torque Drifts up back but I very much doubt my budget will allow.

I'm wanting some reasonably lightweight alloys so TSW, Fox etc are a no go.

All input will be appreciated.

Cheers
Jamie

Super Advans all the way mate. You wont get new but for £800 you can get 2nd hand and get em refurbed.

You can get Torques from driftworks. I'm sure they do the propper staggered set for £510, 8f 9r et 35.

Okay, those one from Driftworks look excellent. Will they fit though? 5 x 114.3 and ET35.

I could buy the alloys this month then get the tyres next :whistle:
