Krishna,

Good ride you got there? It is a definite "PLUS" in Mysore for sure!!

Hi,
The car looks really awesome. What was the total cost.

Desmosedici · 27th February 2010, 03:13

Krishna, do you find any issues after you fir the 235s. Many are advising me against it as it brushes against your leaves. Did you face any issues?

Hey Krishna,
Is your alloys having a negative offset? My guess, it does.
That is the reason your tyres don't foul.
Not sure if Desmo plans to fit those 235s on OEM rims.
Cheers,
Deepak

Desmosedici · 5th March 2010, 15:32

Yes Deepak, i was planning on mounting them on stock rims. but after looking at everyones advice, i decided not too.

i am still thinking about it if i get a good set of alloys. will be checking those out over the weekend.

BTW, how much buyback do we get for stock rims?

Jaggu · 5th March 2010, 16:01

Buyback of steel rims will be pathetic, new ones are available very cheap. So store it proper in the garage.

Desmosedici · 5th March 2010, 16:08

i just spoke to the wheel guy, he said 1500 for the stock rims as buyback, its better to store it rather sell it.

Yes store it. I got my old rim's painted and kept it in my Garage. Those old worn-out tires were sold for 300Rs

krishnathanthri · 6th May 2010, 11:03

Got these on my way back to India from US.

I could not get the knobs fitted as the old one is not coming out. Thinking of cutting it out now.
