Which superlight / minilite wheels?
donut - 30/12/05 at 06:13 PM

I'm thinking of getting some new wheels and tyres in the new year and fancy some trad superlights (or that type) but i can't decide which colour looks better, black or red. Here are some pics then you can decide for me.

Furthermore any other makes of this design for the indy?

P.S Red be different !!!!

Red would be different and stand out.

BLACK looks best..

black is the traditional colour and they'd be easier to sell on / use on another car.

Red would look good just for the wow factor of matching your car........

if i was loaded i'd be different and go red ...... so that means i'd be ordering black.

Black it is then

I guess the red would only work if they were the exact same shade of red as the bodywork.

Midland Wheels and superlight do them but i would have to enquire about the right size for my indy. i like them cos they are more traditional cos i'm old see (40 in a few weeks ) Those that you have shown are really nice and a deff possibility but would prefer the minilight style.

I think they re about £79 each

Black..

The Red would not be the same shade and will look pants.

steve at tadltd sells this style of wheel, in several sizes. Plus we get a discount of 10% i believe.

donut - 30/12/05 at 10:32 PM

The minilights or the ones pictured above?

JoelP - 30/12/05 at 10:38 PM

"ET08 in either 7x13 or 8x13"
"£90 per wheel (inc. VAT) + £10 delivery (each) "

I would require 15's or 14's if i can get them over my rear callipers. Also £100 per wheel...i don't fink so!!

Here are the 15's on this Indy:

Are you sure you can get the right offsets for the Indy,i've only ever seen Locost offsets not ET 35-38??

donut - 31/12/05 at 08:35 PM

Not sure, to be honest i don't think so. I'll have to make enquiries. Looking at alternatives at the mo too.
