Going Retro.............

Post by **KarlT** » 12 May 2009, 08:44

With everyone wanting ML alloys on their syncros I've gone the retro (& cheaper) route.......

My freshly painted 6J wheels with 205 tyres.......

What a difference that half inch makes!

.........185 on 5.5J

In most respects the standard wheels look so cool .......

Yeah, I like the 6J look... I have a set in France waiting for me... but then I have several sets of other wheels too...

maybe I should rename myself "Toomanywheels"............

Shall I list them........... Oh... maybe not... it really would look like some perverse fettish.........

know what you mean acquired a set of 5 mts on alloys before the last event to go with the six mefros on the van and the 5 originals in the shed at home ended up returning home with 7 wheels in the van although i must say they make great camping furniture nothing like a mefro bfg table and matching chairs altho a bit heavy to move from one place to the other

I think everyone with a Syncro has the wheel to-tan pole in the back garden.

Now then.. I'll have a think.... not inc whats actually on the 2 vans.....
T25....
5 x 14" steels with winter tyres
5 x 14" steels with "summer" tyres
4 x 14" steels with winters
5 x 6J steels
5 x Merc 14" with tyres
4 x T4 15" steels
5 x 15" penta style alloys
6 x 14" Carat alloys and tyres
7 x 15" merc steelies 6 with mud tyres on

Audi 100
4 x 15" BBS cross spokes
4 x 14" steels with winters tyres
4x 15" steels with summer tyres
