Wheels

Post by Alan W »

Does anyone own, had any experience, or know anything about Calibre Vintage alloy wheels?

Was thinking of getting a set of bmw style 32's and getting them refurbed...

However, altenatively I could get a shiny new set of these for the amount that would probably cost?

My car is a 99 facelift so was thinking about 17" rims with 8" width fronts and 9" width rears?

Its a black car with the FF chrome pack so I think these would look pretty striking...

They would look nice on any zed, a classic wheel to suit a classic car. I run similar with BBS LM's although they are 18" but the widths are 8" and 9" and sit pretty well. Just check the offsets, but these will look fantastic on your zed.

My thoughts were:
- That's nice
- Must be a pain to clean
- Central plate would hide brake caliper (if painted)
- But that's nice.
As you mention having chrome package, I think it would suit the car nicely. Pics when they're on?
