After a set of wheels for the winter folks, preferably some 18's but I think 17's may also fit???

I'm guessing that my pristine 108's will evaporate into white powder if I use them through the winter. :cry:

Pref with tyres but anything considered.

Thanks.
 
Yeah they'd be fine if the tyres had good tread but Peterborough is too far for me to collect sadly.
 
Would you be willing to travel up to Sunderland? It's a nice run out :thumbsup:

Got a set of 17" Double Spokes with decent enough tread on most of the tyres, would need to go and look at them properly though to establish tread depths (sorry but they're in the garage and it's cold!)

A bit far again I'm afraid. I'd happily do the drive in the Zed but I'd have to stack them on the boot with bungees so that's a non starter. :D

Do the M wheels fit? Seems to be plenty of them about but I'm sure I've read that they're a different offset or something somewhere along the lines. :?

135M style? I might be interested.

Yes OEM M wheels fit - I've got a set on my Si coupe at the moment - and lots of other forum members use them.

The Si coupe sits lower than 'standard' 3.0s - I'm not sure if that's the same with your Si.

They have a different offset so they sit a little wider than the standard Non-M wheels - this combined with a higher profile tyre on the M - and the lower suspension setting - mean that you can get occasional rubbing on the arches when pressing on (I've not noticed in normal driving - only on forum runs!). But reducing tyre size back to standard non-M might fix that.

Hope that helps.

Great stuff, sounds like an option then. 8) Anyone got a set of M wheels lying around???? :D
