Title: Wheels bought. Help needed.
Post by: bazza2541 on November 16, 2008, 12:00:24 pm

From having no wheels for the 165 I now have two sets.
So opinions are needed.
AZEV A or Venom?
Car is a black 165 both sets are 17inch in diameter.
Cheers.

Yep, been a busy wee day.
First I had to convince the seller to allow me to bid on them (no easy task as he insisted I'd need to see them). Then had to find a courier. Then courier couldn't contact the seller, another palava.
Then find a crowd in Americaland to sell me some PCD adaptors and get them shipped, and then get back to the seller and so on and so forth.
But (hopefully) its all sorted now and by my rudimentary calculations, the wheels with the PCD adaptors will give me the look I am after.

Next step is to gather the 205 bits for the conversion. (I think)

I think you should put the first set on your 165. I reckon the venoms would look quite good on a faff
