17" Polaris alloys availble for 200/700/900 on the Continent

[CTCNetwork]

Hi,

The item above was re-listed - one can assume that they didn't sell...

However, I had a look at the rest of the stock he is selling and there are several wheel types, as well as a few sets of Polaris...

Add to that exhaust systems etc... May be worth a gander...
Linky....
The above is the .co.uk domain so will show the euro price and convert to poundage..

Des. . .

Because they were very cheap bits. Granted ive spent a bit doing bits and bobs to the car, but there a bit of difference in adding:

£50 cd player
£5 for LED lighting
£25 odd for the driving lights

Im not saying its a bad idea, but personally my car would look stupid with those alloys on, because its clear that they are worth at least 5x the cost of the car.

Each to their own though

blah blah "worth more than the car not economical blah blah" SHUT THE HELL UP. whats it to you how much somone spends on a car. i am spending in the reagon of 8k on my limo, because i want to make it something special and i dont really care how much it comes to in the end. i could go buy a newer car for 8k but it would be just like any other ****y eurobox out there. oh heres one to up set you, its a fuel thirsty v6! OH NOES MORE NON-ECONOMICAL STUFF! bah get off my internet

Heck, I purchased my car for £350 and yet, have put over £4500 into the car.

As for the wheels - IMO, wheels make the biggest difference to a car in the terms of looks as well as grip and performance. Remember that bigger wheels also provide a larger area for grip and therefore, make the car better to drive (again - IMO).

and anyway, consider the difference below.

Spending mega money on a car isnt viable if you just want it as a daily run about or hack, If you want a show car then great, spend away but you need to strike a balance for cars that get used and abused.

Great wheels BTW, how do they affect the handling and ride quality?
