Phil21185 Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 I think that's the picture quality. I don't think they're as blue as that. Actually there was a set of 17s he had up for 100 which didn't sell (first alarm bell) but the pictures mostly show them looking like your grille accent! One of the pictures is a bit more reassuring though.He's agreed to sell me the 17s for 100 cash...Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fills the arches better.Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil21185 Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 Thanks Keifer. I expect those ST ones to go for quite a bit more than 120 though. I think I'd be happy with 17s, especially for 100. Most sets I've seen have been around 3 or 4 times that...Just got the old warning flag popping up that's all!Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil21185 Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 Hmm. Will 18x8 wheels fit without problems? I suppose I'll need rack limiters?Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 You should have rack limiters with the OEM 18" wheels as they are wider. Welcome to the turning circle of a bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil21185 Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 I've decided not to go for either the 17s or the 18s this guy is selling. I'd like to go for the 17s as that seems the least amount of hassle but I'm re-enrolling as a mature student this September and cash is a little tight. As ridiculously cheap as this seems, my car already has wheels! If I'm going to allow myself to spend any money at all on it at the moment, it's got to be on something it doesn't already have or is fairly cheap.#abitgutted.

Welcome to the turning circle of a bus. I already have the turning circle of a bus with my 18s but I have a set of 17s ready to go - do I need to remove anything when I swap them? Rack Limiters etc?

Rack Limiters etc? If they are factory fit 18s then it should have come with rack limiters. I can't see why you wouldn't be able to remove them - I don't know specifically how though.

I like the look of the 18s but the turning circle is awful. Not sure on the ride either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I think they are under the boots at each end of the steering rack. Nylon rings iirc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite embarrassing sometimes in the local Tesco car park when things can easily be misjudged !Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 don't forget the price is opening bid price, not a buy it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil21185 Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 Seller had already agreed to part with the 17s for £100. As I said I'm sure the St 18s will go much higher. I've told him I'm going to pass but I've still half a mind to have them...Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
