Audi Iirc

As Jeff said, they are Audi A4 door handles. So no surround, but they where/are a nightmare.

[Jeff16v]

but they where/are a nightmare.

Well worth it in this case tho

Thanks,
It looks like the in-dented part is rounder than the standard nova one.(in pic) I thought you may of cut out the shaped part and welded in that one, so it took the handle. as apposed to a handle that has a surround like a calibra one for example.

Love the new wheels Benn! I must have missed you getting them.
I'm pleased you found what you wanted, as I know you did anything but rush your selection!

Looks superb as always mate.

[MARTIN KELSON]

Looking good there Benn
What tyres you using? Look like A539 but thought they discontinued them yonks ago.
Looking for a tyre change for mine & don't know what to go for.

You heard from Jeffrey about coming over again? PM'd couple of times but not heard from him ��

I dont know, i wouldn't do it again i know that!

Ah no, all the nova parts where cut out and the plates with the audi bits welded in, you get a big square of metal to work with.

I took a lot of thinking to work out what i wanted. I'd still like polished lips is the prob. Polished lips just set wheels off right...
Cheers too

Thank you Sir, very nice to hear from you.
Tyre are indeed A359s, i got them new a few years ago. Where on my polished turbo rims, was low on funds when i got the new rims so had to reuse them. Much to the tyre boys discussed.
I still go on that my Toyos have been my best tyres over the years, fantastic grip, slim side walls too, well priced.

Ive pm'd Jeff too, i know he was going on holiday end of Jan, so maybe he's not bad yet.. Should i get a new gm bonnet too? Hhmm....

[MARTIN KELSON]

What Toyo's Benn were your favourites then?
Need to change my Kumho track tyres for a road 195x45x15 purely for cosmetic reasons.
Love the Kumho's but the 50 profile is spoiling the look so they gotta go!

[Benn]

I still use T1rs on my painted turbo rims. Give lots of grip in the cold and get better the hotter, love them on track. You run 50 profile? Thought you use 45-40 as you run it quite low.
Id like to try 40s at some point, as mine catch my front wings on anything more than 75% lock...

[MARTIN KELSON]

The Kumho V70's i run only come in a 50 profile. 195x50x15
I thought they would be ok, but the more i look the more they do my nut, just too large a profile.
Not like my car gets driven that hard to need a track inspired tyre so i will change them before the summer, just dont know what to go for really.
