Wheels anyone???

[atco2]

Hi guys and Gals.

I'm looking to buy two cv8 18" wheels. It doesn't matter if they are a bit kerbed and scuffed up. If any one has got some please let me know.

Thanks

I notice a lot of folk buying another pair of wheels. They also say condition is not important. If these are for the track then it is very important to make sure they are straight and true. I got caught out initially with soem "cheap" BMW rims, whcih when spun up were a crock of st. Luckily I got my moneyback.

Just thought you need to just get them checked at a tyre shop before parting with your hard earned.

I heard the CV8 wheels are the same as some fitted to the BM's - is this true ? If so, what model were they fitted to ?

I only really want 2, but how much would you want for all 4. E-mail me if you like. The address is on the register.

you can use BMW wheels if you're choosy about the offset when selecting them but you need a small shim made up to fit the hub as the bmw centre ring is slightly larger than the holden/hsv spec so the stress/loading would all be on the bolts rather than on the hub and bolts, its only 1-2mm iirc but its enough that its not worth the risk without some form of shim/packing to make it a snug fit. Theres a couple of people on here with BMW wheels fitted I'm sure they can give more details.

Hello,

I have two spare VZ CV8 wheels at the moment, one mint and tire with a few mm on it and the other has been previously refurbed (part of the edge was sanded slightly) with a little chip on it (not a good tire).

Open to sensible offers.

Cheers
Steven
