Wrecked Alloys!!!, Just had to replace all my wheels on my Celi.... Options

[Racer_J]

Hi guys/girls

So I'm driving down the road the other day on my way home from work when I see something emerge from under the car in front. By the time I realised what it was (a brick), I'd hit it. Now I'm doing like 70mph at the time and didn't have much time to avoid it. Anyway, there was this gut-wrenching BANG!!! followed by a wobbling of the steering wheel.

When I got home, I took the drivers side front wheel off and inspected the damage. Only thing was, there wasn't any! So I put the wheel back on and thought nothing more of it until the following day.

Next day I went out in the car with my Girlfirend. Straight away, she started going on about the wobble on the steering wheel and a low frequency "buffetting" noise and said she thought there was something seriously wrong with my car.

So I swing by my usual wheel/tyre place and have them check the wheel balancing. He puts the wheel on his machine and hey presto - bent as a £7 note!

Had to replace ALL of my wheels there and then! B*llocks!


Anyway I settled for some Wolfrace Triads.

I've got no pics as yet but I'll post 'em as soon as I have.

Rant over!




P.S Does anyone fancy buying 3 really good wheels and ever-so-slightly buckled wheel for their Celi???.....thought not

No doubt .. these must be nice as well only pics are not as reality sometimes. Is your suspension stock or are you little bit lower ? My celi´s way to low and unfortunately roads in Czech Republic are not friendly to these type of suspension. :-(

I´ve pm´ed you ..
