Hi all,
fitted a set of tr7 alloy wheels to my ital after cleaning,rubbing down and repainting in silver.
just wondered if you guys liked them??? :roll:

just finished another set with metallic blue torquiose inserts
going on one of my other cars when i get round to it.

PICTURES WRONG WAY ROUND :?

Best regards

They look great, especially with the coloured inserts 8) 8)

Full pics..!!

Very smart what wheel nuts have you used.

Looking good Barry 8) , although we could do with seeing some pics of the whole car to get the full effect.

Hi im using dolomite 1850/sprint steel nuts 3/8 stud thread with a fixed washer.
front hubs have had original studs removed a swapped for some others that are threaded all the way down so that the nuts can wind all the way down to help locate the wheels.
original studs have a recess/shank part at the bottom for locating steel wheels
rear studs arent a problem has rear drums cover the recess/shank part.

no problem screaminglordstokes will dig it out of garage for a full picture for you mate
picture of wheel nuts im using!!

Good stuff Barry Good old Rimmers eh!

Full picture for screaminglordstokes and kilroy
Camera ran out for drivers side but will get some more pictures.
Best regards

Wow, they look fabulous Barry. Stunning car So what size tyres have you fitted ?

Hi mate
Running 175x70x13 on the front
and 185x70x13 on the back
thats the widest i could go on the front without using spacers and not keen on using spacers
I think your dasmak 1.8 would look nice with a set
Ital is a cinibar orange/red SLX started life as a 1.7 but was converted to a 2.0 auto several years ago by myself but still retains its original 1.7 axle/diff so accelerates quicker that if it had a 2.0 diff.
i'll put some pictures on again soon.
Best regards
Barry

The 185s on the back look nice Barry, fill the arches out nicely don't they, like on Budgies saloon. I'd certainly like a set of those wheels for the coupe, when I get eventually it back on the road :roll:
Do you plan to attend any rallies this year with this car? I imagine its relaxing cruising on the motorways with the 2.0 litre engine.
Must nip over to lincs and have a butchers at it close up soon, looking forward to more pics in the meantime.
Cheers Barry.

Cheers Barry, yes I'm still looking for the rear door trim (near side), thanks. I'll try and get over there soon. Let me know what day/time is best for you. Crikey, yes it'd be nice to catch up - not seen another Marina-ite all winter! :roll: I'd do my nut if it weren't for these forums - even though my next door neighbour has a pair of Maxis and next door but one has a Triumph 2.5PI its just not the same.
