New wheels.

[Don C]

The one thing I’m not over keen on are the standard five spoke wheels so I’ve been on the lookout for a set of sport wheels.  I’ve found some on eBay and they will get my all season Goodyears next week.  More pictures to follow.

There we are, that looks better imo.

Looks good Don. Are you selling on the original 5 spokes? Our used Takumi car came with both fronts a little kerbed by the previous owner. Could live with them, but have been checking on eBay for clean replacements to see if it’s economical to swap vs refurb (or just live with). Thanks Jim

Sorry guys, but i think this is a 'should have gone to Specsavers moment' or am i missing something?

To me they look identical to the original set you have photographed, so is it the size, style or colour you have changed?

I imagine that the wheels in all of the photographs are the replacement wheels that were purchased from eBay, pre and post fitting. 

They are the same as the wheels on my F-Sport.

The original’s on the Takumi look like this. Both pics above would be the news ones before and after fitting

It says in the text Scott that I’m not keen on the original five spoke wheels.  It had those Jim shows above.

I could sell them Jim but I don’t really want to split them up.  They are all unmarked new wheels of course.

No problem Don, that’s understandable. Are they now rims only, you mentioned about swapping out your all season tyres? I was intending to replace the stock tyres for cross climates in due course. The tyres have decent tread on them but surprised how cracked they are for being only 2 years old.
