Off a mk3 golf?

If so they are exactly same as mine so et43 5x100 2 piece splits
they look sweet man really tidy( good site innit )

yer they just pop out really easy but Bbs centre caps are like 25-30

 

[ALEXZ360]

Oh Right Cool So A Good Alloy Then? They Are Going For £250 On Wheel Hores So Ill Have To Find A BBS Centre Cap Now

[Rhys_]

These are my BBs.

 

[ALEXZ360]

They Are Really Nice Rhys.

Get A Pic Of Your Old Ones Up, I May Be Interested

And If My Current Alloys Are 5x100, Do They HAVE To Be 5x100???

 

[Gooner_Mike]

And If My Current Alloys Are 5x100, Do They HAVE To Be 5x100???

YES... for a simple bolt on fitment!
NO... and use adapters to make them fit (could get complicated!)

 

[Rhys_]

Ill take a close up of all the wheels as they are now as soon as i can but this is them on the car just before i swapped them over.

 

[suj]

don't get the BBS RXII's alex, they are wack (na i don't like them lol)
them RC401 (or 402) are lush
i think something with a dish, or a monoblock (like the TT's) would suit it

the RXII's (the white ones you posted) are like a mix, and don't suit IMHO
(sorry I am a wheel-w.hore )

and no you don't need 5x100, i got 4x100, yet i am running porsche d90's (5x130) i got adapters
only thing is you gotta work out what the offsets will work out to be when the adapters are added

Offset is as simple as this = backspacing (from the rear lip, to the rear mounting face of the wheel) - centreline (so if you got a 8J wheel, it is then 4J or 100mm (25mm in 1 inch))

so for example again, my wheels have 152.3mm backspacing, and are 8J wide
so my ET = backspacing (152.3) - centreline (100mm) = ET52.3

for example, my 8J porsche d90 = ET52.3
but i am running 20mm
so real offset = 52.3 - 20 = 32.3
(as really the backspacing now decreases by 20mm, but centreline is the same)

Cheers Mike,

And They Look Sweet Rhys. Might Have To Rob Those Off You

Inovit redlines? That's what I'm after.
Quite like most of the inovit ones and theyre not too dear either.
