I have some eBay rears and went for the slightly more expensive ones.. about £17 IIRC.. Had them on for a few weeks now and handling is much improved. Few people have said that the nuts aren't the best so you might be better re-using the stock nuts.

Bought some rims off MikePower last night (cheers Mike!) Was wondering if my current tyres will fit on them. The tyres coming off are 215/40/17, the tyres I want to put on are 205/45/17. Will they fit? And also the wheels are slightly different, mine are 7.5j and these are 7j - what does this mean & will there be any change in stance?

My workmate is looking to buy a classic weekend car. Her original idea was a Morris Minor Convertible. I think that's a bad idea!!! Needs to be very retro, ideally cream paintwork with red canvas I was thinking along the MG / Triumph line of thought.... Budget around £3k - £7k

Sounds like a right deal. I got quoted a few weeks ago for *Spoiler respray *Rear wing gorge-dent fill & respray *Front wing deep chip repair & spray 1st place was £450, 2nd place was £440. Needless to say I've not taken either up yet Also make sure you know where you stand with the VAT, as stated prices are usually without the VAT so he might try to increase the price on you..

What condition are the wheels in? Would you consider selling these separately?

Haha fancy that - found it on the first search attempt on google images Well folks this is a larger pic of the newly identified "Motegi Mr7" 17's. I really like them, but maybe not quite enough to track down and import a set?!?! http://www.cardomain.com/ride/474335/2001-toyota-celica Just looking at their site now, they make some gorgeous rims http://www.motegiracing.com/wheels/?siteid=4&groupid=56 http://www.motegiracing.com/wheels/1/?wheelid=MR1254&siteid=4&groupid=56&page1=1

The urban racers are definitely the closest I've seen - it's hard to tell from that pic but it does look like the spokes haven't got that groove running down each spoke, plus there's the holes between the studs. I saved this pic on my phone when i was searching once, suppose I'll have to search through a few dozen pages to try to find the original site!

Can't find a bigger pic folks, sorry! They look like 18's to me - anyone agree? Angus, they are similar but I think yours are thicker I'm not sure what to do, don't think I'll be getting a kit or lip/skirts, or bigger breaks. That means I'll have to be careful having too much gap between the spokes.

Any ideas or is there anything very similar about?

Well volunteered!
