What size are these wheels ?

[beau]

Looking for a new set of wheels, and the size of these looks perfect IMO, what size wheels and tyres do we think this is? Or maybe somone knows who owns it?

 

[Andyk]

19's....maybe.....Could be 20....

 

[beau]

yeah like me, 19s maybe 20's i cant decide lol

 

[allandwf]

look like 35 profiles? 19s?

 

[mjheathcote]

Whatever they are, not enough rubber for our roads!!

 

[davy83]

i agree you need more rubber for the sake of your spine. i must be getting old!!!

 

[Mr.Cambio]

They look similar to the FD rims. So, 19". But it may be another make, cause this type of rim is familiar among a lot of wheel manufacturers.

Looks like a vintage pack 4200 running Formula Dynamics 19" wheels. I like them but for a similar price you can get options from HRE wheels which to me are the dogs.

That's the 4200 for sale; with the odd looking frenched wing vents....

 

[mjheathcote]

No not FD rims, this is a FD rim, the spokes go out to the edge of the rim and also wider apart.

The sale car (with Vintage vents) that I posted on another thread has a black interior. It would be intesting to know the details on this one though.

mjheathcote: they are basicly the wheels i want.

the question is do i go for 19s or 20's....

i dont care about cost
i dont care about the ride

i care about what it looks like - haha

 

[Andyk]

19's with spacers.....Thats all you need....The pictures I've seen with 4200/3200's on 20's just look too big..

 

[Mr.Cambio]

Mike seems to be right about the edge.
And Andy, too. Even the FD 18" rims on Ian's car, look perfece, without spacers, as they have a larger offset.

Oh to be young!

My black FD rims are also 18" identical to the picture I posted, I do really feel the 19's are fashion over function, even the stock 19 GS rims. If the GS rims were 18", I don't think owners would be wishing they were 19".

 

[outrun]

It's not size, it's width.

 

[mjheathcote]

It's not size, it's width.

Yes the FD rims are wider, and I am fitting 245/275 tyres instesd of the stock 235/265 to mine.

Look to be the same vents though Phil. I wondering if they were fitted on the very late 4200's?

For the record I really don't like those wheels! Just my opinion though. I actually would like to replace my standard 3200 wheels for something a little more modern but I am struggling to find something that I think will really suit the car. I would like a set of GS but they are just sooooooo expensive

 

[hodroyd]

I think those vents were in the Vintage Pack, which was a special edition and had such as chrome door handles too plus other bits, came out in 2004..!!

The wheels look like 19" with 30/35 profile tyres on..!! If you put 20" wheels on you would either be sat up quite high, or have to lower the suspension considerably..!!

 

[beau]

I think I will go for 19s with 35 front 30 rears

Just finding a set now!
