I'm looking at an alternative set of rims.

Does anyone know what the PCD/Offset etal are for an '05 VXR

BTW: If I do get a set of rims, the old ones will be available for sale if anyone interested.

Bought the car new Oct 15...2500 miles

Sadly, front left rim has a tiny raz (about 1-2" long) but as far as I'm aware, they are just covered on brake dust and road salt at the mo.

As for price, I haven't a clue (yet)...would you want the tyres as well?

...........with p/x on old wheels if required.


Doug,

Just a couple of follow-up questions

1. Is the quoted price the full price excluding any p/x allowance?

2. I know you would need to see the wheels before quoting accuratly, but what would a ball park p/x value be

3. What is the price without tyres - I'll use my current tyres as they only have 2.5K on them

PCD is 5x120 offset=42mm,you should get a 9" on the rear,maybe even 9.5.
Alot of BMW's have the same pcd and close offset,so your not limited to a Holden/HSV dealer.

Sorry but I do not believe this to be quite correct, I await clarification from someone on this but the beemer wheels need a little maching to fit correctly, if I am wrong I appoologise now but that is what I have been led to believe




Monkfish1 emailed me this yesterday:-

Diameter, your choice!
Width (j) 8 inch, probably get away with 8.5 if you use at least 245 tyre.
PCD, 5 x 120mm
Offset (ET), 48 mm, should be able to use 45mm Centre bore, 67.something mm. Can confirm the something soon!
