Not much going on at the moment on the Roomster site, so just thought i'd put this on.

Orange wheels,borrowed for three days, i think they look ace, but the wife said, i'm not driving with those fitted, thats one way of saving diesel.

[philbes]

No, no, no.  But then I'm a old fart so what do I know about the latest style.

It does draw your attention away from the window top line!

These were the only wheels available, while my wheels were being redone. OK for the three days they were on. What do you think Barrie ?

You know when you see 'criminal types' wearing very expensive bright orange trainers ?

I realize that I am off-topic but, having to replace my tyres and 195/55R15 are hilariously expensive what if I put 195/60R15 on? Keep in mind that 205/45R16 is not an option because I have to buy 16" wheels and 205/45/R16 is also ridiculously expensive. 

 

I am looking to know about security / safety aspects than speedometer erratic measurements.

 

Thanks in advance.

 Wow!

This is when i had my wheels redone, sorry Trevor.

Change of direction with wheels, back to basics, SILVER.

And change of wheels.

Nice either way 

 

Makes me realise how much I miss my Anthracite Scout 1.9tdi

Best car I have ever owned.

Hi Jonny,

 

I kerbed a couple of my wheels and was thinking of finding some where to sort them out.

I went to Fowkes at Ibstock and he quoted £80 per wheel plus vat and I think I might be able to get some used alloys from ebay for less.

 

Would you recommend this place or give me some advice please.

 

Best wishes,

 

John

If you want a really good job done, try Wheels UK in Coventry. Just mention my name (Clive) the owner knows me well, you wont get anything off though.

Or you could buy my "SPECIAL GREEN WHEELS" on the for sale site.    Look at the Pics above.

@NZ100 - can you please tell me - what sizes are the silver wheels please?

 

also - is you car lowered?

[NZ100]

Hi TOF, the wheels i have on are 16in. And yes just a bit. 

[the_olive_fist]

thanks for the reply @NZ100 - as you can probably tell, I'm very new to the Roomster game.

 

I'm in the market for some lowering and wheels for a 2012 Roomster I have just taken on as a daily, and keen to understand what my limits are with width and drop. Any advice you can pass on?

 

I don't necessarily want bigger rims, wider would be good, and hopefully some retro looking steels.

 

I'm also conscious of rolling circumference as I don't want to affect the odometer reading etc.

Hi TOF , pm sent.
