Porsche wheels

[wilz]

On my useless search for some bbs wheels i have decided to go for some porsche ones instead. (Yes i know i should have bought your ones David)

Where do i get adapters for them to fit my 4x100? is that even possible?

Cheers

Wilz

u can get them 2nd hand or new from tuning shops.
Think demon tweeks do them.

Google - porsche adaptors

They come in different thickneses. mines are the 2nd thickest u can get (to push the high porsche offset out a bit)

10/15/20/22.5/25/30mm each they come in.

Mines were steel FK automotive ones (better than aluminium ones) and cost me over £120 second hand...

Can get alu ones for about 120 quid new, but i wouldnt recommend it tbh.

Steel ones start at around 150 new unbranded.

You could try and get some made, would be lots cheaper. Jay who brought my old car and my old porka teledials is going this root.

Cheers guys. all i could find was 5X100/5x130 or 4x100/5x100 could not find 4x100/5x130.

Just wish i bought yours now david i have fallen in love with them.


There are a few on the go but none with adapters, a was looking at ronal turbos but they dont seem to look as good.

BBS are like impossible to get without paying a grand

cheers mate, im buying another set of D90s next year, hopefully wider.

Im going down a different route after selling my polished ones. (i wish i hadnt now)

 

[wilz]

So can you get the adapters im looking for, nd to know incase its not worth getting them.

 

[Mckellar]

my adaptors.

BBS split rims look so sweet and yes decent ones are nearly a grand however ive seen some split ones that were made for BMW's ...just replace the centre badge with a bbs signage and bobs your uncle, thats what im looking to for hehe.

 

[wilz]

Boi Ninja that is a bluddy good idea but they arnt like zeros ones though so the porche 90s look the way forward

im thinking something like this for cheap:

plus for the back get this:

EDIT: actually its not bad 7.5 fronts and 8.5 rears so might not need the extended outers to look cool, just adaptors ...if available.
EDIT2: just found out that bmw's have 5x120 ...and no adapters can be made for 4x100 same as the merc wheels. unless i have 2 adaptors ...which is a no lol.

then all you need is an adaptor ....wait all this is valid if you can get adaptors for the bmw fitment ...see i was going to buy:

i wondered why they go for soo cheaply ...then i realised that no one makes adaptors for 4X100 -> 5x112 unless its a custom place ...which i havent found a price for yet, but read its like £200-£400ish. so i didnt bother. ...i also rea the the threads would cross over so i dunno if it can be made custom. good luck.

 

[Mckellar]

you cant make BMW / Mercedes wheels fit without changing the hubs from 4x100 to 5x100 then getting adaptos from 5x100 > 5x112.

I always wanted to get some Brabus monoblocks on mines, they are minted.

Willz, here is a pic of my car on the porsche wheels for u mate:
just my sig, but bigger..

 

[wilz]

Boi Nija i have to say we think exactly the same i was going to do that but also found it to much hassle. I know of a guy thats an engineer also know of a cnc machinest. Lots of engineering firms beside us hopefully mates rates.

David that is pure sex. Will be on my list in the new year for sure. Sorry for copying you.

Just looked up the brabus wheels now they are tidy if only they were 15's and 4x100

For sale section Keskins T4s (spelling) Could go with them so many options.

OH merrry xmas

 

[wilz]

David, Jenk & Boi ninja any1 else i am in need of help,

I missed out on the polished D90s and the bbs Rm were far too much.

Mk3 cupra rims what do yous think? suit my car? can they be polished or may get them painted gunmetal grey or soemthing was looking at your old car jenk and they do look good are they 4 stud or do i need adapters aswell?

 

[jenk]

Cupra rims dont need adaptors, alot of people have fitted them. Be different and get something wide. I would deffinatly buy those keskins from the for sale section

 

[Roelích]

I was going to get Keskin KT4's (7.5" front, 9" wide rears) but I'm weary about them. The quality on Keskin wheels leaves a lot to be desired.

 

[wilz]

Well jenk you are a legend was only going to put on cupras rims cuz they looked good on your car but no, i wont give in.

i have found a website called www.styleddynamix.co.uk they have some awesome wheels still to find out the price though S2 edition wheels look a bit like the porsche twists with a deep dish.

My search continues

 

[Roelích]

Style Dynamix are good

 

[wilz]

Have you had any dealings with Style Dynamix personally or heard good comments about them? What sort of prices am i looking at? no prices on their website

 

[Roelích]

I've heard good comments throughout the VAG scene. A few mates of mine have had dealings with them in the past. Well priced if I remember correctly.

 

[wilz]

As in expensive priced or fairly priced
