Alloys?
Hi all, thinking of maybe replacing the alloys on my R8 Cabriolet, does anyone have any pictures of what wheels they've put on their cars?
Cheers all,
Paul

Re: Alloys?
Do you have Instagram or Facebook?
Plenty of pics on there.
I put Streetwise alloys on my 420 Tourer after I was inspired by pics of a lovely looking Tourer in Germany with those wheels on.

I do yeah, just had a browse and seen a few ideas. Do you have any pictures of yours?

I opted for MG 17" Straights on my Cabbie.
They're an 'in house', as it were, upgrade & fill the arches nicely. I did find I needed to fit 5mm as the fronts scrubbed on full-lock.
The MG 16" Hairpins look nice too on the Wedges.
I did have a set of 17" 5 spokes on at one point, but never really liked them.

Nice one. Rover made great alloys didn’t they? There’s not many of them I don’t like!

Re: Alloys?
I really liked the 16" Gridspoke alloys, I did look for a set but the prices were quite high, I had a set on my 218 bubble.
