I'm currently the proud owner of CAV #88 which has 17' BRM style rims running Michelin Sport Pilot tyres.
I'm planning on getting a new set of rims / wheels as part of a cosmetic overhaul of the car and have been in touch with both the factory and Image wheels here in the UK. Both can supply and the prices are comparable.
The first bit of advice I'm looking for is whether any of you guys have any experience of Image wheels and can vouch for the quality of their products vs the CAV OEMs which I guess will be from a South African source.
Secondly, and probably more complicated is.....I'm debating putting the car onto 15' rims to provide a more authentic look. Are there any merits / detriments handling wise with 15's vs 17's and I'm assuming moving to 15's will open up wider options on tyres?
Any views, opinions, do's and don'ts would be gratefully received! :shy:
