Alloys Swap Needed!! - Page 2

Longbridge Loony · 30th March 2007, 20:17

Just tried to upload the pictures of my alloys but my computer is just not playing today!

If you want to view my pics then you can go into Photo bucket and search for bigmansmallbird member photos. Here you will find pictures of a very dirty ZT-T wearing the alloys in question.

Bump.........

GG, may i just add that I wasn't the incompetant clown that caused any of the damage to the alloys!!

It was a fleet car and has been to the moon and back with nearly 130k on the clock!

(Although the last owner was possibly a woman with curb marks like that !)

They are repairable, at £38.00 a hit according to Mike.

The flash has done a cracking job at highlighting the curb marks so it isn't that bad from afar (1/4 mile away!).

To be honest I have more pressing issues with my motor, the clutch has just gone and cost me nearly 800 quid as well as my trusty steed ploughing right into a fence in the recent bad weather and ripping a huge piece out of the front bumper. Not good and just my luck!

That's nothng mine are so bad I was thinking of using them for extra grip in the snow or to drive caterpillar tracks

The worst I have seen were on a ZTT260 I test drove in Chester chunks of the alloy was missing

You sound like you have been taking driving lessons from my wife! ha ha I tell her to be careful so often, that now she gets so paranoid that she parks about 8 feet from the curb so as not to damage them!

I had a set of aftermarket alloys & budjet tyres fitted to my ZT-V8 a couple of years ago for about £300 less than STS Man on Wheels quoted me for a set of 4 Continental tyres!!!

Are you still wanting to do the swop?
I'm interested if you do.

Hi redgpx and welcome to the forums,

maybe a picture of your wheels and a location might help Longbridge Loony decide
