Ooh. Just noticed... might want to go down an inch on the size, 17 is a bit too big...unless you can run low coilies and lower profile tyres :p mine's on 16" SuperT's, 195/45 profile tyres and standard suspension. Will make it faster to 60 than if you put 17's on it too... just a thought.

Pro Race 1.2's are insanely light... And also very strong... Hardly a "Halfords" wheel in my opinion... IIRC 17 x 7J are around 8kg a corner...

And a polished rim - Ignore that! Would look horrible!

it's not that i was categorising them in the negative as a Halfords rim, i was saying i have literally seen them on display for sale in Halfords :ban:

Just read your comment as a generic "Halfords rim" post!

I was just saying because they're in Halfords, doesnt make them a bad rim... Theres always a hidden gem within the polished lips and "diamond" cut generic rims at halfords!

it's a personal preference thing....i'd never buy a visual mod which is stocked by halfords purely for the fact that one day i could be sat at the lights and some 17 year old spotty chav clad in adidas classics and a baseball cap pulls up next to me in a saxo 1.1 with the exact same rims...call me aloof but it makes me feel sick :lol:

Understandable! But Pro Race 1.2's are great rims for what they are!

must admit thinking about it - not really deep enough to go shiny edge

with ya on the weight - Pro Race 2's I have on mine are insanely light
