im rather tempted, i wasnt too sure but since i saw them on a silver VX i want them drooooooool

When it stops raining, I'll get some better pics of mine up. Don't think that will help you much, 'cos it looks even better now I've got my Gaz on and it's got a proper ride height..

Oi stop! haha

Its not fair i put my GAZ's on over the weekend, im so glad its going into BoT on friday for a Geo as it just feels grim and like it just wants to spin the whole time

[Jameshs]

I wanna see what your geo is gonna be like

I have a set of speedlinealikes. Does anyone have marks (dust or pits) under the paint on each wheel? RGds VX

[mandarinvx]

The dish / inner rim has the natural cast finish, but it stands out a bit more against the machined front face and outer rim, this shouldn't be the case on the front face (spokes of the wheel) tho

mine do too - they look pretty rough and ready on close inspection to be honest, I was going to have a moan but then you need to be up close to notice anything on wheels, and after a week of brake dust you'd hardly notice anyway...

The Td's have a much better finish, although the balance of them was pretty poor. Yet to have tyres fitted to these so will see what kind of balance they have before weighting/balancing.

Still happy I bought them though, and grateful for the effort put in by others!

[mandarinvx]

The machining helps to greatly reduce tolerances you'd get with cast only, hence balancing is much better - both my fronts balanced with only a 5 gram weight on each - and that was with the tyres fitted!

Has anyone got a set they don't want or are willing to part with?

good quality rubber is also a massive contributing factor to this though!

Since i have to wait four weeks for the tyres to arrive, here are a couple of pics of 1 of 2 sets of speedlinesalikes in silver.

love 'em

Thanks Jas,

Now while you're here, what did you use for the black screen surround (for the 10th time )

since I've already got speedlaines on the VXR though you guys might like to see them side by side

only noticeable difference so far is that the 17" rears have a 1" bigger diameter dish into which the wheel bolts sit

I'll get some comparison weights up when the A039s come off my speedlines

Pics below, Speedlines on the car, Speedlinealikes resting next to them

Compomotives weight in at

8Kg Front
10Kg Rear

Vs a calculated weight for the Speedlines of

front 11Kg
rear 12Kg

which is pretty impressive

I'll get absolute weights for the speedlines when I get the tyres off
