Well yesterday he got his new shoes - R56 17" Crown Spokes!

I loved the S Spokes, but they needed a refurb and these were pretty similiar to them, but just that little bit different, I'm really pleased with them, is it me or do they look bigger than 17"?

Very nice mark, is there any advantage with the crown spokes over the s spokes. IE lighter/fitting bigger brakes etc

by **MiniMpi** » Tue Mar 31, 2009 5:24 pm

The crown spokes look the business on your ONE Mark :icon_rr:

There is a weight saving over the S Spokes alright, .5kg i think

by **Sportspack-Mark** » Tue Mar 31, 2009 5:56 pm

Cheers guys

Aye they seemed a bit lighter when i compared one over the other

so its all good

I think they look sweet

No to keep them away from those kerbs lol

The actual pipe needs cut, knocked up and welded back up to bring it up into that cut out in the trim

will hopefully get that done this week

Excellent work there Mark, I guess my cunning ruse of cleaning the bonnet, wheels and roof didn't work - damn judges looking round the back of the car - I mean, what's the world coming too!
