new shoes!!!!!!

[RetroMat]

One step closer to a Euro micra? I've just collected these:


hmmmmmmm:

which were formally fitted to this:

Any one ever seen a set before? They are made by Lega and 5.5J 13" and very funky
Not bad for £50 the lad selling even threw in a set of early small micra bumpers in for free! i collected them last night in the torrential rain from a place near silverstone, all was going so well until 30mins from home at 2am i came down a motor way slip road an encountered what i can only describe as a lake which me the micra and my new wheels plunged into at 30mph. Some how the car kept running although it did swallow a fair bit of water. Imanged to limp home with a top speed of 40

Woah!!

They look fappin awesome! Look even better if it was slammed!

[michiel]

Wow, very nice wheels!

[Adam]

Mmmmm get them polished up!

[Ratdat]

Those wheels are awesome!! If you ever want to sell them I'll happily take them off your hands ;D

[bodieanddoyle]

what an awesome set of wheels, speshly for being only 5.5j
they don't suit the tolly, tho.

[slater]

Those look ace dude! Any idea what tyres would go best on them? I'm thinking you want some nice low profiles on there.

(saw you driving passed my house the other day but i don't think you recognised me as i was in my dads motor!)

Brilliant find!! May I suggest a little streched rubber??

They'd have to be 155s to stretch over a 5.5J rim!

Think we spoke briefly about them at CaRS, IIRC they were also marketed here by Brown & Geeson before they got into plastic wheel trims. Got one or two old ad's for them buried in the wheels archive (posh word for big pile which is threatening to fall off the filing cabinet one day and is in need of being sorted out).

They certainly sit just right in your arches.

Lovely wheels - they sit rather nicely indeed in your arches. A polish and re-detail and they'd look tops.

I don't know of any decent tyre options.....165/55 maybe? You'll be lucky to get anything to stretch though - you'd need something like a 135 which would be a bit sketchy. :-\

[SteveP]

Damn... they look absolutely spot on on the Micra!

[Paul H]

Matt - those are very cool wheels!

I used to have 155s on a set of 13 x 5.5 rims fitted to my Sprite ;D

Still didn't clear the rear arches though

Hola Matt! Glad you survived the trek back!

Even happier you like the wheels (& everyone else!) Thought I was sad to see them go until I saw them fitted again. Now I know I'm gutted! Hey ho, moving on...

I have two more sets of wheels going, not in the slightest bit special but they do need a good home, see here: retrorides.proboards29.com/index.cgi?board=FSW&action=display&thread=1155571364
and here: retrorides.proboards29.com/index.cgi?board=FSW&action=display&thread=1155571672

Help me clear more space!

[Keefy]

[JonnySierra]

[RetroMat]

[stuyizz]

[skoda_norman]
