RAYS 907EX - REVISITED
Specs: 19 x 8.5, ET44, weight tbc

These wheels were listed at 19 x 8 but am assuming they're the standard Rays sizing of x 8.5 ET44 as featured temporarily on Avdo's former R.

Another look at Talladegas on the Mk7:

Just in case someone's wondering what a pair of steelies looks like:

Can look sharp even higher up the range:

I always think 20" is just 1" too big. Here's some 20" Watkins Glen reps:

Either that or it needs to get dumped to pull it off.

I reckon we've featured that car before but it's the thought that counts.

I'm the same however, the 20s are usually a bit too roller skate/licorice strap for me - most 19s come off well but again I prefer the bit of extra rubber on the 18s for looks and performance.

Of course you can always say I need more rubber again and stuff my speedo:

OK how about these then - 19" Vittoria Breda?

They'd appeal to a certain taste, perhaps by those who like 20" Santiago reps:

Back to something a little cleaner, although not the best pictures:

As with all things it's each to their own but resale (and ride) can be a killer if you have too extreme taste.
