Jamie's Black Puma

Ouch! You don't need to spend that much if you shop around!

 

[red]

For four brand new ones you might but I imagine you can find good ones for a better price than new

Have a look for Team Dynamics Monza - very similar to the ST170 style and available for about £600 new with Toyos fitted at topgear.

Depending on what I hear Friday - you can have mine for a bargain price if you want and I'll go back to props.

I've seen the Team Dynamics ones before, they're not too bad.

Can't believe you're all trying to talk me out of spending any more money

In fairness, I think I'll be waiting to get these sorted AFTER I come back from Germany, I can't be bothered with the hassle of sorting all this out before I go over. Maybe just all-round Powerflexes for now, and leave everything else until I come back.

Beat you to that suggestion The are v similar to the focus ones, depends if you have a preference to genuine or aftermarket ones.

You keeping them silver Jamie? Not going for the all black stealth look?

In keeping with your post the other day on FB...why not go for these ST170 wheels????

They are a little more expensive but look what comes free with them....the car...lol

 

[Zenithus]

Hurray! Bought some ST170 wheels off eBay today, can't wait to get them and get them on now!!

Not too bad price-wise either, a hell of a lot less than they would be new. Couple of scuffs and marks on them but that's too be expected really. Tyres are nearly new as well so I can drive around on them until I can bothered to go and get some new ones.

Now to sort out some spacers and some extended studs...

 

[chris3boro]

I hate you!

 

[T1ny]

have you fitted your wheels yet?

 

[Zenithus]

Sorry T1ny not yet, they need refurbishing first so they go on in brill condition, and I need to get the spacers/studs sorted out.

Don't worry, as soon as I have them on I'll be straight online with the pics

 

[Zenithus]

Updated first post with new ideas and conquered mods

 

[T1ny]

what is st170 offset?

you might want to talk with flashbastd who had some front hub spacers for sale...

 

[FlashBastd]

Thanks, we have corresponded.

 

[Zenithus]

Thanks T1ny, I have PM'd FlashBastd but the problem is that I would need the extended studs as well with the Eibach spacers, and they do seem particular hard to come by around here!

I will be having a bit more of a look though, I want these wheels on before Ford Fair!

 

[FlashBastd]

I am pretty sure these are what you would need;

I would contact the seller to confirm though.

 

[T1ny]

quote: "Standard plus 25mm" from ebay ad for studs

the spacers are 15mm... so a bit of simple maths says these will be too long by 10mm....

 

[Zenithus]

ST170s are fitted. Going to keep it a bit of a secret for now and not take any photos until I go down to Ford Fair at the weekend. They are a bit scuffed (they were cheap) and I'm going to try and get them refurbed this week if possible.

Unfortunately, the f/n/s wheel bearing is knackered, it fell to bits when the garage took the hub off, never a good sign really. They managed to bodge it back together but haven't tightened the driveshaft on as much as it should, so thats getting sorted out straight away tomorrow morning.

So now I'm left with a set of 9-spokes lying around, in pretty good condition. Does anyone need any, or am I going to be hanging onto them for a while?

 

[FlashBastd]

Did you fit spacers at the front?

Are you happy with how it looks?
