Nick Heer Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 Hi all i have finally got my 1300e on the road mechanically in A1 condition thanks to Ray who has done a wonderful job on it i am debating which alloys to put on and my heart is set on the original MK1 RS alloys but am finding it very difficult to get hold off them so will have to settle for RS4 alloys as the capri laser ones i had on it gave me nothing but issues evening breaking the spline twice in the front hub so i had to get the hub replaced twice if any one can tell me what size can i go to and what size tyres that involves i would appreciate it the car has been lowered 1 inch in front and rear is standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to put 4 spoke alloys on anything .... buy another car !!!! Just ...NOT ..on your 1300e . Only my opinion . Regards Dave . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 keep the original steels, then use the money you save to go towards having the body re-sprayed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 those alloys would be good on their side, to watch this 1300E in your garage https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sony-Trinitron-TV-KV-1300E-13-Rare-German-model-Works-but-no-red-in-picture/323134308505?hash=item4b3c4e4099:g:2V4AAOSwqblapR4p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vista Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 The steels do look fine as is in my opinion.......but go with whatever look you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich T Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 Im a closet minilite fan. So if it were mine id go for minilite, standard or the Mexico steelies. Seems a bit odd that you want wheels that'll get positive reactions from others around you. Alla RS 4 spokes. Get what YOU want, not others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
