Superleggeras

Could anyone with Superleggeras on a Dark Silver/Black Cooper S post a pic to show me what they look like?

Thanks in advance

Close but no cigar ...

There's a picture of a Sold Black 'S' in the FAQ on aftermarket wheels:

Darren id advise u dont look at the picture in case u like it , the Superleggeras are not available at the minute due to some produtions hick-ups, i searched all over for some 7x18's and found the last remaining 3 in the uk and found another in germany and they all werent even the same colour , that was just out of depseration though!

My wheels are currently getting specially coated in a funky finish so ill post a pic for u when there on

Cheers,
Paul

Thanks for the replies Paul, Jionty. I've been thinking about getting the 16" x-lites just because they're lighter and give better ride and handling, but I'm not too keen on the looks. But I reckon the Superleggeras would look great on my car, plus I could still have seventeens (or maybe eighteens?) without the car feeling like the springs have been removed!

Cheers,

Darren

i am looking to replace my 17" run flat and alloys for either Superlegerras or team dynamics pro race 1 ( similair look) and think that the loss in weight and softer sidewalls on the tyres should reap handling and ride rewards. My supplier will let me know which alloy wheel becomes available.

Both the SuperL's and TD pro race 1's look great IMO.

Initially I was after SL's but found out that they are not available in white in the UK. So it was either get a set powder coated or go for the TD's.

Happy with the results

White TDs on B/W MCS

btw - Looking forward to seeing yer new beast Dinks

Stop ruddy rainin cos the 2nd Cam needs a thrashin !

I happen to have a Dark Silver/Black Cooper S with 17" titanium grey Supperleggeras. You will find a few photos at my personal gallery.
