Wheel shopping

[Alexdaredevils]

Looking for some wide wheels, 17/18s x 8,9,10's in the 4x108 pattern

Who's using what?

Who's selling what?

I'm sitting on a set of imola's that could be part ex'd in any colour of your choice

There's lots of threads regarding wheels on here if you want to read other experiences regarding sizes, tyres, wheelarch mods. Here's a couple to start with:

Thanks Ian, but my main question was what wheels are available if i'm honest

Seem to be stuck with either £2k+ customs, £400 ebay china specials or Team dynamics 1.2 that every ones got

Looking for alternatives

I need 18x9-10 wide at the back

Would you consider converting your wheels to five stud hubs? Plan your stud pattern first, as there are several available, as I am sure you know.

5 stud hubs gets you into RL7 Cerbera wheels. Peter can tell you what is available.
What are you doing to accommodate the wide rear wheels?

I should of but just rebuilt the lot on 108x4 and really can't be arsed to take it apart again

Go 5 stud like A says.... All that work, time, and agony you've put into this Alex, not to mention dosh... Taking the old lump out seems like ten years ago now......

Compomotive don't come wide enough Daz otherwise I'd get a set

Team dynamics have come back with this

Pro race 1.2 lightweight performance

8x17 in black at £118.25
9x17 at £134.75

8x18 in black at £118.25
9x18 at £140.25

Colour options (plus £10.00 each)

I really don't like the look of Pro Race 1.2 even though they tick almost every box

Unless I can find a better alternative I will be buying these up at the end of the week

'Griffith 500' What offsets and tyre sizes are you running?

Thanks guys

[Griffith 500]

Daz is knows all about Wheels, they are Compomotive MO6:s. You can get up to 10x18. Rear ET 40 255/35/18 front ET 25 215/40/17, I don't have PAS.

Why would you buy wheels you don't like ??

Just convert over its not much money then you will be spoilt for choice.

Easier to do it now

Yep, Alex………………I'll say no more!

What about Japan Racig JR3 (see photoshop for 17X8 ET25 Front & 18X8 ET30 Rear)

I am in the same situation as you are and trying to find wheels let me know if you find something

[Alexdaredevils]

I did see those Japan racing, nice but not to keen on the 345345 multifit holes on the wheel, might try them as a spare set later on

I finally ordered up some Pro race 1.2 in 18x8 offset 30 and 18x9 offset 35

225/40/18 and maybe a 235/35/18 front

255/35/18 and maybe 265/35/18 rear

Not the best looking wheel, but it's the right size, light, strong, proven and came in at £668.40 inc vat, delivery and 16 new nuts

And I finally have decent tyres to choose from now!!

PS get your order in asap as they will be casting a set in a week

[Manolis1978]

is this price including the tyres as well??????

[Manolis1978]

from where did you get them

[Alexdaredevils]

No tyres

You'll need some new nuts to drive that car once the mega turbo is fitted.......
