Hopefully i will be picking up a set of the 9 spoke puma alloys to replace my propellers next week and after having a long look and doing some measurements i think i might just about fit them in my puma.

I'm sure one of you out there has tried this, is it possible :?:

Dont know but make sure you cover your seats/boot etc, if there is any brake dust and it gets on your interior it is a swine to get off believe me had too many experiences with this...and i still dont learn ja_stupid.gif

Thanks for the tip, i think i will propably put them in black bin liners to keep my car clean and take some sheets for good measure.

Bin liners are the way to go. But do Yourself favor and do two per wheel - You don't want to get that upholstery covered in crud. Good luck! Post a pic when Yr done!

4 wheels with tyre will fit easily with back seat down and parcel shelf removed. Did it when I bought my 17"s. Put the wheels in the bin bag as it keeps the boot clean and is so much easier to slide into boot than the wheel as the tyre will grip everything.

I think I actually prefer the look of the props, and they are easier to clean. I saw a mondeo with props on the other day. looked just wrong!

I don't like seeing other cars with puma bits on.

To be honest, I like the props as well. Hardly ever like stock rims, but I'm not changing these for a while. But cool that You can get 9-spokes loose!

Get some disposable plastic gloves. Chuck the first pair in the nearest litter bin when the wheels are in the car. Use a second pair for removing the wheels when you get home... that way you don't even need to have the mucky gloves in the car :wink:

Good luck

Maybe it depends what colour car they are on. Can anyone super-impose some props on a milly? Would look cool I think.

I saw one near Stansted airport with them (no idea why), and they didn't look as good as the 9-spokes.
