Worth taking into consideration when choosing new rubber

Cheers Brian Shouldn't be an issue as the dials overread quite a bit anyway, so will just bring my indicated speed closer to my actual speed

I really fancied a set of BBS LM reps on mine, the one place that offered 19 inch ones with 5x100 pcd have stopped doing them, so could only find them up to 18 inch.

the two things that put me off was the fading of the surface on a lot of LM reps and also how they seem to dent quite easily from pothole damage. A lot seem to do this sort of thing after a couple years:





After reading up on these its recommended to consider using them as summer wheels and having a different set as winter wheels, as apparently road salt ruins them quite badly. Shame as these wheels were my no1 choice.

Not many places refurb them either.

They look pretty rough, mine are all black so should be easy enough to keep looking ok, though you loose some of the design from a distance. Only 18’s

I like those but wouldn't go above 18" but that is a personal choice.

I like yours as well Rick, something different.

I have been looking around myself for some different wheels as I bought a set of straights a couple of years ago and 3 of them are fit for the bin.
The hairpins I currently have need refurbishing but that's only because they have lost the lacquer coat plus I keep losing air out of two of them.

But it's not easy trying to find 5 18" wheels which are 5x100 with an offset of 35 which I like.

They look absolutely ridiculous.

The only wheels a ZT should have are Apexs.

Aftermarket wheels on a 75/ZT just screams Council Estate.

Well for the love of what you find holy, do not fit them to your car. At least then we won't have to read you moan about them.

Thanks for your input, having lived on many council estates across the land I’ll take your comment as crass and a put down for the many good folk who live on council estates.

I live on a council estate and both of my 75's are bog standard.

Your argument is therefore invalid.
