Can I be a bit of a dull rivet counter and say.....

... those Freestyle alloys aren't rated for a 110's weight, I don't think it would ever matter and I'm sure you know this but feel like I should let you know just in case.

Thumbs Up

^^^^ +1

They are weight rated, they were a factory option on 300Tdi 110s, and I got a set of 4 in good nick on the bay for £92.

And I think they are better looking than Boosts anyway Thumbs Up pics on my rebuild thread Fully Restored 89 110 CSW V8

great price!! but as much as i think they look OK, i am after something with a more aggressive stance ie modulars, dont really want to do the spacers thing! plus the old 110 is gonna be regularly on the green lanes so steels seem a better option. i had ZU's on my td5 disco which took a hammering!!!(although if i had the money would have a set on the 110 ) My 109 thread

Did your passenger side speaker fit without a spacer ring?

When I updated mine I needed to make a spacer to fit as the windscreen wiper motor is so huge it wouldn't fit otherwise.

Build looks fantastic, did you do the Utility Panels yourself?

speaker went straight in both sides!
no it had the panels in. i originally wanted windows! but getting used to it with panels, and it will allow me to do more in the back! (storage etc etc) i just wish the utility panels were a little less dinged though! not sure how easy they are to straighten out. My 109 thread
