Wire Wheels & Seats

[m.derry]

Hi,

I've just become the proud owner of a Sportster and I'd like to start putting my own style ideas onto it.

I's realy like to put some nice chrom wire wheels onto it, has anyone else done this?

Can anyone you advise me what the dimensions are please?

The car has Cobra bucket seats that are too tight for my well padded behind, can someone recommend some reclining seats which i will fit into, I'm 14.5 stones, 6ft.

Many thanks.

Hi Sue,

Many thanks for the information, yes I will be joining the club later today. Are there any other members in the North East of Scotland?

Re: Wire Wheels & Seats

Thanks Sue,

Dundee is the closest to Aberdeen - about 70 miles south.

Quick Geography lesson for you:

Looking up from England, Edinburgh is halfway up on the right, Glasgow halfway up on the left, Fife a bit further up on the right and Ayr the same on the left. Aberdeen is way way up on the right!

Hope that helps a wee bit!

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone at the Scottish run although that is about 250 miles south of me..

I've sent in my membership application and waiting for a reply.

Thanks again.

Kind regards
Mark

Hi Mark

Thanks for the geography lesson! The only one I know is Glasgow as I had to go through to get to the Scottish trip last year and will be again this year. Hope to see you there. Will you camp/B&B?

Have a look at the Wire Wheels thread under Berlinettas. Chris in Dorset has fitted them to his, and he has attached phots which show his car looking really good

Using Google to translate, or should I say mangle this site

It would seem that they sell a wide variety of authentic looking wire wheels with bolt on adaptors. It looks like they do a 4x100 as well, probably for all those wannabe gangsta rap stars out there in the Fatherland pimping out their e30's

Anybody speak German? If so, could someone drop them a line and see whether those adapters fit the e30 hubs?
