Which wheels do you guys prefer?
At the moment I own the SXI's and Cesaro's, but can get the Speedlines fairly cheap with very good tyres, which are also lightweight wheels, maybe even track wheels
By the way, in the Cesaro pictures, the car looks high because it was stripped, its on the same suspension in all pictures.
Speedlines:
Cesaro's:
SXI's:

Nick - not at the moment, but next year, when I get a Mantzel or Lexmaul on it
Ben - its lowered 40mm in all pictures, I'm not going any lower as I quite often drive with 4 people in my car over long distances.
Lowered 40 is fine for me - after all, I am after handling, not looks, hence why I was interested in lighter wheels and why I spent about £350 on my Koni suspension kit.

yea, thats my thinking - if the SXI's don't sell by xmas, by the time I get my V6 brakes on, then I will try them over the brakes and make my decision on whether to keep or sell depending on that.
Still may chuck the SXI's on ebay though, and buy the Speedlines with the money I make.

cesaro's
if leaving it stripped out, throw a set of 60mm's on the rear, if interior's back in, just leave it, as the height is spot on on the sxi wheels

cheers Ste, all the interior is back in now, so its back to the SXI height.
May get a set of 60mm rear springs to chuck on for when I strip the rear for some track use next year though
