i will be buying a set from jasmine is now retracted as they are asking £1250 for just the wheels so i have located a set of solid turbo wheels and will be travelling to surrey to get them tomorrow. what are peoples opinions on hollow or solid wheels?

James,

Whatever you buy make sure the rears are ET65 offset as these are what you need for a narrow body car.

If you try to fit ET40's as per the Turbo model and then lower the car the tyres will rub on the wheel arch lips. I found this out at my expense..!

Turbo twist are available in both offsets.

Sorry we missed you at Porsche and Picnic, winters here now so looks like the meets will dry up but try to catch somewhere. Hows the new car going, you pleased with it?
