What Wheels?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I sure there are many opinions on what the best wheels are. How stiff they are Vs weight, road or track etc... so based on this short summary of my requirements can anybody recommend a set of wheels and tyres. It is tempting to go for the same size/spec as Westfield's own alloys but these are probably a generic size than are suitable for all cars regardless of power or intended use.

My car Summary, please advise

Pinto engined therefore looking to save weight where-ever possible

160 bhp

Mostly road use

Thanks in advance for your recommendations

Best to start with what size to go for.

A 13" wheel with 185/60 tyres will do fine for your car IMHO. Wheels and tyre is a very contentious subject - personally I like the more traditonal look and have K&N Minators with Yoko A021's. But do a search and have a look at George Polleys web site. Give him a call even... good luck! :D

I have some wheels for sale here that were fitted to my Seiw. They are offset 20 and filled the arches just nicely, see below. Not the lightest wheels available by any means but not the heaviest either at 13kg per wheel and tyre.
