2Toledos Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Well, as I have two Toledos (no surprises there !) and they're both sporting Dolomite Sprint alloys; I guess you can deduce my personal preference from that. However; I should also add that - Sprint alloys do not look right (again, just my personal opinion) unless the car is lowered. To me, they just look out of place if the car is sitting at standard ride height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeks Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 I think that looks pretty good ... far better than my GT6 did with these 15 inch compomotives on!The photo makes them look worse than they actually were though, and the fact that I was standing on a forklift gives it a strange angle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 I reckon Toledos look best with 5.5J spit/GT6 wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toledo Man Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 The Spitifire wheels look great on the Dolomite so they should look just as good on a Toledo (any spare Spitty wheels for mine?) Check out the pic below of Quentin's Dolly with his Spitfire wheels on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toledo Man Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Wherabouts James? Remember, I travelled to Aylesbury to collect this Toledo (thanks again for the lift Quentin if you're reading this!) so I might take you up on your wheels and we'll soon find out what Spitty wheels are like on a Toledo.

Andrew Lacey Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I actually think spitty wheels would look great on a toledo, hope you can get them. I know every-one has there preferences in what wheels they like, and I will probably offend a few people, but I cannot stand minilites, I don't know why but there is just something about them. I do like the sprint alloys, also wire wheels.Tina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Im in North/east London - a fair way for some wheels, even if they are only for beer money!... however I do know someone with a set of newly blasted and painted wheels - with new tyres... and he's in Bradford...He wants some cash for them - but they are nice and shiney - and they have new tyres...I think he still has them.. I'll enquire for you if you want...I'm with FX4 on minilites - they hurt my eyes... some cars look just about ok - others often look terrible... they do look superb on a mini though...James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotten herald Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 Thanks for the responses, i'll send some pictures soon.Sprint V8, some of us aren't lucky enough to have stag running gear, although i must say they look great. if i could just change the running gear, i would try set of tr6 steels, they look great, have them on my 260z, lovely.Anyone got some marina tc steels kicking about?

Toledo Man Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Is it anybody I know of? I'd appreciate it if you could find out. It might work out cheaper that a trip to the capital (ain't been since 1996!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
