I liked the Speedy HP Envy's and Envy MkII's, but found out they won't fit over the brake/caliper combination I'm getting.I end up ordering ROH Strada Modular wheels, 19 x 8.5's for the front with 245/35/19 Continental Contact Sport 2 tyres, and 19 x 9.5's for the rear with 275/30/19 Continental Contact Sport 2.5 week wait time for the wheels to be made so I'm hoping to have them fitted before Christmas, hopefully when the brakes arrive.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>i have 4 roh/amg strada modulars sitting in my games room.. two are very second hand with smacked in inner rim lips.... luckily they are repairable they DO NOT like potholes/cattle grids/20 cent coins left laying on the road. the ally seems to be very soft....awesome looking wheels though. did u go chrome or shadow chrome?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Chrome.One of the reasons I went the Modulars is because they are repairable. I've seen a set of HP Envy's that have hit a pothole and broken the band. They're throw-away items now.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>hey are "repairable" but no more so than any other wheel. i bought them for that reason to and when i damaged mine i went back my former tire shop and asked them about buying two replacement rims (not wheels just the rim its self) and was told u cant buy them. u have to go through the approved repairer in W.A. (alliance wheel repairs) so u cant just buy another rim and bolt it up im afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 16/11/05 06:51 AM Share Posted 16/11/05 06:51 AM in my opinion anything with a dish should be no less than 19inch.. otherwise the rims look too small. I like the look of dazzas car with the 19's, but the blood orange ba's rims look too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its a matter of having:- no mudflaps- wide rear dish- lowered suspensionin order for them to look their best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
