Ive been offered some magnesium wheels that came off a saxo/106 but unsure wether to go for it. Its for my track/road 306. They look like old scooby wheels in 15". Does anyone have any experience with these type of wheels?

I was worried about handing the money over for these for that exact reason. I thought i would ask you lot first and im glad i did. I was suspicious of the price too as he is asking for £300 with the 4 near new dunlops on them. Bit suspect 'ey!Cheers for your help guys  ________________________________________ DIABLO GTI-6 - Legend - NILE GTI-6 - SoldCHERRY GTI-6 P1 SUPERCHARGED - Broken up BLACK RALLYE - Sold 205 Dturbo xud9 work horse - Dead CHERRY RALLYE - new toy |

I got a set of those in my garage, they do weigh a lot, but are good strong wheels, good for rallying. Look good too although most need a refurb as the original paint/laquer doesn't seem much cop. ________________________________________ Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 1Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 2 Lap of the 'ring |

Wont be doing too much rallying in my 6 once its on the road, unfortunately. Maybe the odd thrash around a field but it wont warrant these wheels  ________________________________________ DIABLO GTI-6 - Legend - NILE GTI-6 - SoldCHERRY GTI-6 P1 SUPERCHARGED - Broken up BLACK RALLYE - Sold 205 Dturbo xud9 work horse - Dead CHERRY RALLYE - new toy |

Even though these are not mag if you come across some genuine mag wheels you really need to have them checked my a magnesium refurbishment specialist. Mine are from a circa 90's group a rally car. The chap who refurbished them said I'd have a hard job even cracking them the road! Cost £70 a corner though.________________________________________ 205 Van SC'd GTI6 - because why not309 Goodwood V6 - sold 205 Rallye GTI6 - Bent |

Raceline RL7's are very prone to cracking behind the spokes. Loads of Ford RS boys have had to have them welded/repaired over the years.________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ (now gone...)2004 Aegean Blue 206 GTi 180 (also gone...) 2006 Skoda Fabia vRS in Sprint Yellow honestly3k wrote: Do you wrestle for a living matt?
