14/15 Spoke Alloy Pics

jazzypolo · Post by **jazzypolo** » Sun Aug 03, 2003 10:01 am

Has anyone got pics of a Mk4 with 14/15 spoke alloys on.

The type of wheels I'm thinking about are Team Dynamics 'Monza', Mile Miglia 'Chronos'. 15"/16"

Also just seen Ronal R 39, very tasty but I think they only do them in 17"/18".

Cheers

Must get myself a decent pic/sig

Alright, so I'm daft;

What do those wheels look like again? Any pics of the wheels? (on a website perhaps)

You'll see 1000Miglia 'Chronos' here.

The Ronal's are on the Ronal site.

Nice one Karl

Are those the Miglia 'Chronos'

15"or 16"

Probably pushing my luck here a bit but don't suppose anyones got pics of these wheels on a silver Mk4.

If not I'll have to get Paintshop Pro to turn The Green Goddess into a Silver Minx!!!!!!

Karl, what is that kit on your car that rear bumper is mint with your flushed boot?

Cheers,

Jazz - These are the Monza's in 17'' flavour.

Jon - The rear bumper is a custom GLX one, a new number plate recess added and the exhaust cut out moved to the opp side. The side skirts are cut and shut from a Mk3 Golf GTi and the front bumper is from a GLX but has the gaps meshed rather than plastic - with an Ibiza splitter underneath. speak to James at JBS for a similar job www.jbsautodesigns.co.uk

Karl Those Monza's do look good.

17" wheels probably gonna be too big for me, was really only thinking about 15's or maybe 16's at a push.

Sounds a bit wimpy, but I like my cars like my women. Subtle but Sexy!!!!

Not that I'm saying the Green Goddess is a bit of a tart, she just wears a bit more makeup than I'm used to.

If thats the case i really wouldn't suggest getting these wheels, if your going for 16s get the Chronos as the spokes go right to the edge of the rim and therefore it will make the wheels look like 17. But if your going for 15's you want a flat faced (like speedy's Ronals) or a deep dish wheel.

Just my 2p

Karl Thanks for you're 2p worth on the wheels

I know where you're coming from, at the moment I've got 13" 7 spoke Aez alloys and they look like toy wheels. The std steels seem loads bigger by comparison

Also hadn't thought about the visual effect you get when the spokes go right to the edge of the wheel. Good point.

Having a light coloured car (silver in my case) also seems to exaggerate the std 4 x 4 look.

Cheers

Also try and keep to a low profile tyre - as a bigger sidewall will make the wheel look smaller.

as for the silver car thing, theres no way round that one! all i can say is dont cut corners when lowering it, make sure you get the arches rolled professionally and get some coilovers.

What sort of tyres are you running on 17" rims

My tyre/wheel size calculator recommends 205/30 to get close to standard gearing.

As for rolling the arches, I'll probably stick to rolling my own, the missus isn't to keen on using the coilovers either.

205/40r17 Falkens on the Monzas
and
215/35r18 Pirellis on the old BK 18s

Consider the 195-40-17's from Pirelli too. Even smaller!

Thanks for the info on tyre sizes guys

I'll probably end up getting 15" wheels with 195/45's on and a modest 40mm drop.

May not look the best but will give me a smoother ride.
