might get new rims as others are very tatty, was thinking these bsa 7 spokes in chrome, you can't appreciate shine in this pic but here's a rough idea
what do people think?

The best wheels on a valver imo are Kahn RSR's / or RSR replicas:

If you can't find genuine Kahn's or Kahn replicas, Masitaly VT5's are exactly the same.

IMO.

(that, or standard PH2s!)

valver steelies! They look great,

Only problem is they are heavy, and they would need stripped and painted again.

I love 16V steelies

i think the ph2 wheels suit the car well..only wheels i would consider putting on are,superleggeras, turismos or khanys.

Pleanty of replica Masitaly ones though - identical.

Can get a brand new set of VT5's 17" for £400ish with tyres.

Mega cheap second hand too:

i had similar on mine before...17 wolfrace jobbys

[img:300:119:796cff2745]http://www.renault-turbo.com/jonboy/gallery/car6.jpg[/img:796cff2745]

i really liked them cos they were simple...no swirly bits or anything...

but tbh i much prefer driving on stds...17 just feel every bump and mine just got buckled to death by the shitty roads round here.

standard all the way...failing that, 16v steelies all the way ! Laughing
