Wheels

Post by Bazboy » 13 Apr 2008 12:18 am

Hey guys saw this 340 on ebay and i absolutely loved the wheels it had, reminded me off old school muscle car wheels. Any how i have never seen them before, So my questions are:

*What they?
*How hard are they to find?
*How much are they?
*Will they fit straight onto a 340?

Cheers Dan.

I have lived in Milton Keynes for ten years and have never seen this car on the streets around here.

I dont reckon hes had it very long because he seems to know nothing about the buid up .

he hasn't had it for very long, it used to be mattybois car and is the one he and nev built (at driftmoto). The current owner is a guy on the driftworks forum and had it advertised for ~£1250. He apparently reckons it has about 160bhp but I am very doubtful of that. Either way it will be a very quick car, but too expensive imo

Hope this helps

There holding money to be fair Jason, it's probably SLIGHTLY overpriced, but I reckon he could easily get £1K off somebody who knows what there buying. It's been proven with Baggsys black on a few months back and the 2 guy who have bought this car in the past.

The wheels are wellers 13x6" iirc. They do fit straight onto the 340 without any spacers etc. I THINK there approximately £200 a set without tyres, although i'm not 100% sure on that

Hope this helps :)

Watch out though cos lots of wellers are mini fitment, 4x100 are a bit rarer.

Yeah Definatley the old style wellers, You can buy them brandnew new style are slightly different (Still Plenty of Dish) http://www.wellerwheels.co.uk/ I have been looking at 13x7s they can be fairly heavy due to being steelies.

they seem to have gone up in price,
