New Wheels
Well it has taken 9 years to finally get a new set of wheels for my Trophy! They are certainly different and amazingly came in F fitment.

Re: New Wheels
Wow are those 17s?... Very shiney (wheels and car) I'd park well away from kerbs with those how do you find the ride with them?

Re: New Wheels
Hi Nick,
Yeah they are 17" Mode from Magik Wheels on Ebay. Already giving kerbs a wide berth!! Contrary to popular belief they don't give a harder ride because the tyre profiles are the same as 16". In fact it rides certain bumps better because of the increased diameter. Tyres are Toyo T1Rs which I had no trouble in getting. The only downside (if you could call it that) is the rear arches need to be rolled especially with the ride height of my Trophy!

As it happens yes I do! Fitted with an excellent set of Toyo T1Rs complete with the orange spare (never been fitted). Looking for £450 for 'em if you are interested.

Hi Matt,
Yes they are different and as you say a bit of a marmite thing and hopefully not a lot of people will buy them!!! Tyres are Toyo T1Rs 205/40x17 on the front and 215/40x17 on the rear.
Cheers
