i would like to ask what are the opinion about this rims?
do they look good on a Stratos.
I like these wheels and think they would make a good alternative to coffin spokes. I'm sure I've seen a Strat with them fitted.
I know somebody that has some of these wheels, and which car they will be fitted to.
There's a very close link between the two.
Enzo knows.
Just looked at the group4wheels site, 10" rims that's got my attention! last time I looked they only went up to 9" should work well with Grp 4 arches.
These wheels look great! This wheel style were on some early Rallye Stratos.
Pre production comp cars with the wind up windows. Like the new Hawk Giro replica.Quote:

I think you've answered your own question, but I'd say they are spot on and you should be very happy with them.

Love them - I might have to tell Gerry he needs a set but don't hold your breath - I doubt he'll swap the coffin spokes off his Giro d'Italia car!
Guy
I know that car :o
Enzo, you bad bad boy! Posting pictures of my car, taken by John Whalley himself, I do not even have the copyright to them :)
I was going to wait untll the old Lancia "L" centerbadge was in place and the campagnolo stickers.....

Car on the left is John Griffin´s pride and joy.
Since Compomotive makes both Gerry´s and Group4wheels rims, I ordered the PAG 15 to the same specs as the coffinspokes.
So the Pag in the picture is satin gold, 15" x 8" with 5x98mm pcd, et00.
And the tires are as Chris is saying 3/62-15 TB15 (270/45/15) at the rear and 18/60-15 TB15 (215/55/15) in front.
Going to put the Pirelli P7 corsa classic on the coffinspokes and use them for the track.

René
Rene,
Yes i am a bad boy, but i need a answer because i will help Marcolino to decide
which wheels we use for the EX Chris Prototipo Stratos.
but what i can see on the pictures, you did a very good job!
i hope you are not angry with me.
Enzo :rolleyes:
Rene, thanks for posting the info.
Enzo, sorry I thought that was your car.
No problem Enzo.Quote:

IMHO wrong colour, but right design.
And with Michelin XVX they would just look great...

Those wheels look great, I'd love to build one of Gerry's new Giro cars especially with a set of them on.
There's certainly a great choice of rims and tyres available these days.

Oooh, they're lurvely!
I can't see a price on the thread. Are they available to buy? If so, where from and how much? What sizes are available?

Jonathan Sage is also a true enthusiast and a pleasure to deal with.
I have no comercial interrest in the company, but I think they are doing a great job getting those old design reproduced.

René
Thanks guys.
:)
It's great to see something new and truly authentic, but coffin spokes still have the edge? (I prefer the look of TBs to Pirellis too)
Like discussing girls ;)Quote:

On the tires, I totaly agree on looks. The baloon sidewall and threadpattern on the TBs looks just great for a Strdale.
Preformanvice, it have not tried them yet, but plan to use TBs for road and Pirelli on the track.
Just 4.5 hours untill the weekend.....

i think Gerry is be greedy! Coffin Spoke are too expensive
that's way i bought my rims in Italy
and i think Jonathan Sage (Group 4 Wheels) take a real price for his rims.
but it's always a price and matter of taste like other things also.
nice weekend
Saluti Enzo :p
Can I just say Welcome to our new user on the site Jonathan (Group 4 wheels) you have started a good debate on your wheels now...
What about a discount for Club members????
All the best and enjoy the site
Welcome to the forum, Jonathan. I shall be in contact with you to discuss buying a set in the new year, that's for sure.
(Anyone want to buy two sets of compomotive 1580s? ) :D
Great looking wheels.
Trust us Jonathan, we are never offended when you offer the club a discount......Quote:
