I have Team Dynamics Jet 17" in White - they look pretty good in my opinion...

Like the pics Nel (& the car, good colour ), especially the one with the crane grab thing.

Good luck with your search for new wheels.

I went from 25lb S spokes with Pirelli runflats to 20lb R90 replicas with non-runflats and the difference was very noticable. So if you go to TD's 1.2s that weigh 17lbs you'll make a big improvement. All weights are approximate before someone picky corrects them.

Some people are like a Slinky ........ not really good for anything, but you still can't help
but smile when you shove them down the stairs

England Go Black!

I have just taken delivery of my John Cooper Works with R113 cross-spoke whells in gloss black. Of course I'm biased but the do look great.

And as I have no idea how to post a new thread on here... Any know some ideas on how to attached a Tomtom 730 to my mini without using the usual windscreen method. My windscreen has the heating element in it and I'm not sure it will be good for the Tomtom or the windscreen if I stick it on there. Any advice would be good.

And damn, that thing is mighty fast!
