Re: 19" Lugano Wheel & Tyre Swap

Hi mate,

Yep, still interested... Just having a minor cash flow crisis ATM which means I probably won't be able to get my wheels refurbed.

What wheels are you on?

Re: Creaking brakes

I don't suppose you've changed your rear brakes have you... I dropped a b*ll*ck and removed the 16 splined bolt holding the caliper onto the knuckle, refitted it and discovered it was a stretch bolt... only to have it fall out some time later. Learned that lesson the hard way. Otherwise, it could be...

Re: Creaking brakes

Where does the creaking noise come from - as in what area of the vehicle, N/S, O/S, etc? When you say a complete stop, does the noise start when the vehicle is stationary? Is this after heavy braking? Short journey? Long journey? I may not be able to solve it, but I might be able to help you ask som...

Re: 19" Lugano Wheel & Tyre Swap

Yeah, mine aren't in great nick either. They're all in working order, but one has a bit of a flat spot, another has a pretty good nick from a manhole cover. I'm planning on getting a quotation for a full refurb and we can take it from there. Hopefully I'll get PM's enabled soon ish and then we can t...

Re: 19" Lugano Wheel & Tyre Swap

That wouldn't be a problem for me. We should probably arrange a meet to check their respective condition... somehow photographs won't really do it justice I don't think.

Re: 19" Lugano Wheel & Tyre Swap

@ bryand - Thanks for your PM. Because I'm a newbie for the forum, I haven't got PM enabled atm. I'm working on it.

In the mean time, tread depth is good (I'll measure in a bit), Yoko S-Drives all around.

Where are you based?

Re: 19" Lugano Wheel & Tyre Swap

@candy I'm in Oxfordshire.

I think they're lovely wheels, but I think they probably did their final chassis tune on 18" maybe on the basis that this is what most people would buy.

My DCC settings are 'HARD' and 'SLIDING DOWN CONCRETE STAIRS ON A TEA TRAY'...

19" Lugano Wheel & Tyre Swap

Hello All, I've had my Rocco for nearly 4 years now, and love it. However, whilst the 19" Lugano alloys look great, I do rather feel that the chassis hasn't been tuned properly to this set up. Even in DCC 'Comfort' mode it's teeth-chatteringly crashy. Add to this the fact that at the first sign...
