Re: Wheel Size

I don't know what type they are but I found them on eBay being sold by a breakers yard.

They caught my eye straight away - glad you like them. :)

Re: Wheel Size

Right, I have new wheels and have been using them for just over a week so thought I'd offer some feedback. I replaced my 17" wheels with 15" Rover alloys which, crucially I think, are offset correctly for the car. I also fitted four new Kumho Ecsta Spt tyres as a new start. Here's a rather...

Re: Wheel Size

Hmmm...it has now been suggested to me that it might be the fact that my wheels are offset (correct term?) more than should be for a Rover (it doesn't have spacers) and so the steering geometry is out causing extra-understeer.

Wheel Size

I have a Cabrio that had 17" alloys with low profile tyres fitted when I bought it. The ride I can cope with but I've been led to believe that having smaller wheels (15") and higher profile tyres will see the tyres take some of the flex that's currently going through the body and lead to i...

Re: Rover Cabriolet

They are a bit of a worry. My last three cars have had stiff suspension so I don't mind that so much - it's just trying not to kerb them all the time that annoys me.

Rover Cabriolet

Hello, I've been a open-car addict since 1998 and since then have owned an Escort Cabrio, two Mini Mokes, two Mazda MX-5s and a Smart Roadster. The impending arrival of a baby in the family has meant that 2 seats have had to give way to 4 and so a couple of months ago I bought this Rover 216 Cabriol...

Re: Header Image

It wouldn't be that much trouble to have a random image header.

That way headers featuring all six bodystyles could be made and they would pop up randomly each time.

Just a thought.
