For Sale - Wheels, wide big 3-piece ones (correct sizes this time)
Hmm do I really want to sell them???? I was going to put them on the buggy...
Oh well…I have four spun alloy 3-piece Lamborghini Countage replica wheels, they kick ass, oh yes the do, see the pic…
They are Ford 5-stud as per the Granada Scorpio, the norm for such replicas. If I recall correctly the fronts are 225’s the backs 295’s, I think 15
inch rims. New the rims would have cost about £1200 but their not new and have a few minor nicks from careless Quick fit Fitters who got a well
deserved bo££ocking. The back tires are I think Michelins; dam fine road/race tyres never used and so well made they did not need any balancing
weights. The front ones are new remoulds, good quality ones with a smart tread pattern (not the replica PZero’s in the pic). Despite their size the
weigh very little, even the huge rear ones. I have spare rims to convert the rears to the same width as the fronts if you have been drinking heavily
and think that’s a good idea.
Perfect for something like a F1 or Cobra replica…Russbost will you please put these on the Furore, those narrow tyres are driving me nuts!!
Whole lot, spare rims and all for……£450.
I could post these one at a time but your looking at erm well I’m not sure £50 or so, I’d have to check.

I'd love them, but both the existing car & the new one take 4 stud rims, plus the old car is on 18'S & the new one takes 16 or
17". Shouldn't you be keeping them for that F1 replica you're building? Don't understand the sizes you've given of
125's & 195's what are they, rim widths? 12 & half & 19 & half would be pigging large & 125 & 195 would be pigging
small???
Also have to take issue with my "narrow" tyres, fronts are 255's rears are 285's, I wouldn't call them narrow, the wide
angle lens on most cameras makes them look narrow & tall, they look better "in the flesh". I'd love some 335's but
don't have bottomless pockets - wife & 3 kids to feed etc etc - could we start a "save up for Russ's tyres" fund? - if
everyone puts in 50p .............

Reading that I kick myself 
what a twit! I've put the wrong tyre sizes!!!
they are 225 at the front not 125's doh! the and the backs are 295's
Thanks for point out my stupid mistake  Your car must be quite a size as the current tyres do look a bit narrow, yeah 335's would look
stunning, who needs 3 kids sell one 
cheers
