Wanted: Wheels - 17" Or 18"

Rob's Lexx · February 21, 2009

Hi guys,

Seems i'm not having much luck on getting the wheels i like - either through them having already been sold :tsktsk: or just the fact that their condition isn't great.

Does anyone have any available?? I'm not set on a particular design, just wondered if there are any going at the minute from members on here?

I love the chicanes, but not holding my breath!!lol!!

either post here, or drop me a pm.

cheers in advance chaps.

If offset 35 ? they will not fit :o

Rob's Lexx · February 22, 2009

aye, think the offset wrong for mine....shame as they are nice. not sure black's the way i wanna go, but could be swayed. lol!!

if anyone hears or knows of any wheels going, then please update this thread. I'm open to suggestions on what to get. wanting to keep the standard 5 spokers as winter wheels and have something a bit different for summer.

cheers

Think this thread has the info you need.

Rob's Lexx · February 22, 2009

cheers matey.

i'm a bit confused with offset etc. i take it the higher offset then it sticks out past the arches?? and the lower is the opposite??

so for the IS, its about 40-45 offset??

No Rob, the lower the offset the more its sticks out the arches :winky: :winky:

For 18inch wheels Rob, your better off with 42+ offset

Only got 9 standard IS rims and the ones i've just taken off mate but they all need tyres?

The 5 spoke ones i've just removed need the edges tidying up but i may refurb them yet as its not a lot to do on them?

What happened to the Grandstand ones you were looking at mate?

Rob's Lexx · February 24, 2009

i was offerred them and then told someone else had taken them :tsktsk: :shutit:

tis life i guess!!

what size were the one's u've just taken off and are you selling them?? 18's?? tyre's isn't an issue as i'm getting some new rubber this spring.

not really wanting standard 5-spokers, but anything else would be considered kinda thing, lol.

The ones that were on my car before were only 17" matey, but looked bigger as the spokes went to the edge of the rim to give the impression of larger rims

rajesh · February 24, 2009

ormi · February 24, 2009

very nice set of 18's for sale in the for sale section!!rob

Rob's Lexx · February 25, 2009

yea saw them mate. not something that i would pick normally i don't think, but will have a think. The corrosion looks pretty bad around the centre caps - so would be close to another 200 notes to get them refurbed.......
