it was only this one that was really bad, the other tyres aren`t anywhere near as bad.

can`t go any lower cus the coilovers will bottom out when manda hits them nice big pot holes that are bloody every where, i`ll have to track it up before the new tyres go on the cesaro`s

What size tyres are on there? As they look pretty acceptable for 14's! Mine look like balloons, I dislike the stolen-RJ's-tyres look

165 65 14 i wanted to put 165 60`s on but i couldn`t get a full set for cheap enough

Odd, same size as mine but mine look toss. Looking around 175/50/14's are the best bet for nice sidewalls but expensive.

i think it helps with the wheels being very white, it draws yours eye`s away from the ballon tyres lol

They look smart and don't worry bout the tyres that's just getting your monies worth lol (seriously though get it tracked and teach the missus to avoid the potholes)

Looks miles better on the cesaros though, and thats not the tracking needing sorting, its the camber that needs doing there due to be so low!

I only just found out they were the ones on his SR the other day, i had them off Baxter and on my old flair, which are now deceased:cry:

its shocking just how much profit was made on them after i sold them, and you still had the square tyres on them too!!!!! they'd been sat for 5 years on my drive, and had more cracks than humpty dumpty

lol so how many people on here have owned these wheels then???

the ones on bretts sr (see tv feature) were originally bought by me off a scrap mk1 astra shape lhd opel kadett in about 1990 from a scrapyard in oxon. then baxter, spud, ........, ....., ......, brett.

they are by far the coolest type of steelie that gm ever made. especially with the opel hubcaps.....

combination of tracking and camber i think. mine did the same.

theres loads of life left in them tyres...i cant see wire poking through yet lol

Spudly
23-03-11, 06:58 PM

Liking the white steelies tbh, I've just fit two to the front on mine at the minute due to me having knackered tyres, mine are orange though, actually rusty lol

Edit: the handling on my nova is miles better due to the sr steelies btw ;)

Thanks for the comments Guys! I do like them but still Cesaro's FTW i miss them dearly and they will be back for shows, provided i get tyres for them in time. So saving my pennies for the tyres as they will be the nankang ones as they look better than going slightly bigger. only the best! Unfortunalty when you come to kettering your surrounded by pot holes and they are every where and i dont actually hit them hard, unlike sam who make my car bottom out when we went on a trip to bournmouth! lol so dodgy tracking ... blame sam. sorry sam lol

so you would rather have ditch finders that your likely to crash your car with just because they look fractionally better :S thick ****

they will only be on the car for shows, so driving my car into a ditch because of the tyres is unlikly.
