16" Speedlines or Softstars on a MK3

[Alex]

Has anyone got either of these sets of wheels fitted to their mk3?

Speedline Allesio's:

Irmscher Softstar's:

If so any pics and also anyone local to me so i can possibly try a wheel to see if it fits over my 300mm Wilwood 4 pot setup.

Also thinking about the possibility of a set of 17" Comp Mo's, as seen here:

But would prefer either of the top sets as they are 16's so would be better fit for the purpose i have in mind, anyone help out?

Steveturbo's Let

308mm brakes iirc

on your car alex it has to be soft stars as IMO the others dont cut it. oh i remember that pic now as its mine

 

[Alex]

I must admit i was leaning towards softstars, bear in mind whatever wheels I do go for will be finished in gloss black

 

[rickisgrate]

the comp mo's would suits yours i think

 

[ashgsi]

Yeh comp mo's are a lush wheel.

 

[Alex]

They are lush, but would ideally like 16's as easier to get track tyres for

would need to space speedlines a lot to get your brakes in im guessing, they needed spacing on my old astra with 256mm on the front so the calipers dont catch on the spokes. my softstars didnt catch on the nova with 256mm on front with no spacers so im guessing theyre the easier to fit yours behind.

Softstars Alex, Looks the business.

Can you only get Comp Mo's in 15's and 17's?

 

[Alex]

Dunno, but Comp MO's aren't that easy to get hold of

 

[ashgsi]

Yeh i noticed while searching for them

 

[LukeC]

also my bro had 288mm brakes behind softstars with no problems with them catching and that was without spacers

softstars are the worst wheels ever...

Im putting a set of 17" Comp Mo's on my GSi..

It looks like this:

But out the two top wheels, id go for Speedline Allesio's

 

[Alex]

I do like the mo's and if i can may get a set for regular use then just use the 16's for track use
