@ mike m and a few others

The Avons are flippin awesome tyres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In wet or dry they are extremely grippy

Goodyear Eagle F1's, Toyo Proxes and these Avon ZZ3's i dont know which are better though, theyve all seemed very good style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" />

Well, Rally cars use them as they are ultra strong.

I wouldn't say they were light, never mind superlight.

MO 15" 18.9lbs

Ronal Turbos 18lbs

BBS RA 15" 15lbs

style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> I was always under the impression that they were really light. Is it the OZ 5 spokes which are the really light ones??

Anyway, they look awesome so it doesnt matter style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

The weight figure that Tigz posted, is this without the tyre? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" />

Mine are 16" MO's 5 spoke and without the tyres they are extremely light

In all honesty, these wheels look style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> but i do think that 15" are still the best size for the Lupo which is why i still have my Ronal Turbo's and RH Classics.

Thanks again penry for your kind comment

Yes, thats without the tyres.

They were a motor sport wheel, so very very strong.

Obviously strength normally adds a few pounds.

Who cares though, they look cool.

They rock. As most of you realise I am not really into the Euro look wheels thing, I think these are the best wheels Tom has...one of the best wheels I have seen on a Gti in fact.

Had these refurbed(polish rim again) back in October last year by ProClean in St Helens, been in storage since, not seen any daylight so will be going back on when Summer comes.

I used good old Meguiars on it about 3 weeks ago now

Just had a normal wash and chamois down before i took the pics this time

Meguiars is very good stuff, seems to last and last, car had been washed about 5 times since i applied the polish and still turns out like this.

[Adam]

What Meguiars is it? I've got the Gold Class but i find it to be very sticky and quite hard to polish off. Unless im putting too much on? So i don't really use it, i just stick to the Colour Magic.

I use the Gold Class stuff yeah

I dont know if it would be down to putting too much on, not shaking the bottle enough or just the general temperature outside when your applying it style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" />

Try it again though and see

Whats that colour magic stuff mate?

Tom

[Adam]

Its made by Turtle Wax, its a coloured polish, so you can get blue, red, black etc. I might have a go with the Meg's at the weekend, i must be doing it wrong if you can get that finish! I'll keep you posted on the results.

[Joe]

the trick with meguirs is not to let it dry. then its an absolute bitch to get off. do a panel at a time, and sometimes even split that into two parts. like the roof or bonnet.
