New Wheels

[Rosco906]

So the struggle for alloys continue

Nicely found a set of these

Very Tempted

Only seen them on a few motor's ( icecavern's)

Does everyone like these or hate them?

Think they would give a good euro look

look smart, but not original...

ToXXin had some on his silver beeza.

[rashcupra]

my thoughts exactly on this one

 

[Rosco906]

rash ive looked at porka rims but there all wrong offset's etc.

What would be best way to go for change my hub set up for porka one's?

Sisson thanks for that website, the silver 1 with them looks stunning

You need hub adaptors, 5x100 - 5x130, cost about £130 for set of 4 and they are about 20mm thick.

As Ad Lav says, you need PCD adaptors such as http://www.performancealloys.com/alloy_wheels_adaptors.asp

Porsche wheels are a high offset, normally around the 50-60 mark, but the adaptors will reduce that because of their thickness and equal it out to about standard offset.

[Mr Max]

Perfect! With a 20mm adaptor you'll be sound, though I'm not sure if 25mm is the lowest you can get- you might be lookin at a little strech then...!

205/40 on a 7 will be barely stretched
205/40 on a 8.5 will be nicely streched, but not what I'd call extreme...

 

[Rosco906]

Unsure now, i take it the porka rims i posted no 1 has done before?

still prefer the audi 1's tho..

Bud like been different.

Might end up selling my body for parts at this rate, dont think she'l be happy tho lol

 

[tommmineh]

Never seen the porka's on a Mk4
No-one's bidding on them either! Could get a bargain, but factor in the price of adaptors (~£120) Though a set of TT comps (polished) will be around ~£350 I'd say

If you wanna be different, go for the porkers. IMO they'd look really really good (especially if the cars was lowered!) I'd pick those if I had the money etc...
Though go for TT comps if you prefer them, depends on how original you want to be!

Have to agree mate

 

[Rosco906]

Tommmineh i can get adapters the now for £80 new

Thing is got a limit to the funds the now

for 1k i need coilys, wheels, the colour coding, Might do it maself, and possibly a remap

 

[rashcupra]

^^^^^^ good luck fella! you will get the coilovers and fitting and maybe the sidestrips for 1k for all the things in your list going cheep ul still be forking out a good £1500-2000

 

[Mr Max]

dont think they do 205/40/17 re-moulds, as the rash fello says, good luck!

Cool.

Well...

Jamex Coilovers = £299 + fitting

Wheels.... don't forget about the tyres! That's an easy £200 just for them! + whatever you spend on the wheels.

Colour Coding = If you're doing it yourself (it's not hard) £20 for new sidestrips + £30 materials. then obviously depends what else you want to spray...

Could just squeeze it under a grand, depends on coily fitting really.

Never going to get a remap aswell for that though

 

[rashcupra]

remap= £300-650
coilovers=£300-500+
fitting coilovers= £250-350
sidestrips= £50-70
tyres=£200+
wheels=£200+

 

[Rosco906]

lads lad lads

i was an apprentis mechanic

Coilovers = Price on coily's fit them myself,
Bump strips and door handles = Possibly mate who paints will do it
Remap getting it for £350+vat
Can get 4 205/40/17's hancook's for £180

Wheels is just depends what pops up, could be lucky with getting a good set with rubber or bad.

remap is not important.

would be happy with coily's and wheels.

Unsure on buying the James coily's

emailed the person who's selling them, not heard back yet
