Rim choices..

[Bain]

Decided to go with the ETA BETA rims for now. A mere 9.4kg's each!

Went with the matte black and chrome version rather than polished black.



Now to wait the 4 - 6 weeks

Does anyone know what we need to do about the tyre pressure sensors?

There are no sensors.... tyre pressure monitoring is done as part of the ABS, EBD in that it monitors individual wheel speeds (against another 1000 odd conditions) and picks up differences.
When tyre pressure is low the rolling diameter is different, therefore wheel speed will be different.

No option for staggered and i dont think a staggered wheel would look all that good on this type of car.

They'll work well with CW!

So you are 12 mm closer to the strut and 14 mm further out to the guard.

What size and brand tyre will you be running?

While on the question of tyres....what tyres are these local cars being delivered on? Seems the Uk and euro cars are on a range of tyres pirelli p7, Conti 2/3's, Dunlop Sport Maxx an Bridgestones RE's.

Not sure on brand as yet, but ill be going a 255 or 265 dependent on the sidewall of the tyre. I dont particularly like the stretched tyre look.

Looking to spend at most 600 a tyre.
