    Lee, me luverly, lad.

    No I have not got them as yet. They are still with your SBro, Parz.

    Hopefully he will be able to bring them with him on a visit here or to the Isle. He should have plenty of room in his new, 2007, Heap Cherokee![xx(]

    Otherwise they will have to wait 'till SMa and I next visit Belfast.

    I am an uber patient person.

    SDa.

    so long as you dont have rusty bolts and missing hub nut covers or bolt covers i think they do look alot better without the flush covers.

    The R8's are getting a lot of love, Kind of begs the question...

    Would anyone be interested in an 8j x 15 or even an 8j x 16 OEM+ looking wheel?

    Just a thought, we are looking to expand our cast wheel range and this could be a direction we choose to go in.:thumbup:

    (The above images are just rendered CAD Models to see how popular the idea could be)

    Thanks.

    Matt.

    I have only just realised that these are ET45![:$]

    If they are yours, you are a lucky 5od! (Need an envyous Smily here)

    They will suit a conversion to Audi 80 hubs perfectly!;)

    Dave.

    B-Star.

    What we need is flat spoke designs in both 6 x 15 and 7 x 15 with ETs ranging from 38 to 45.:thumbup:

    These of course should be forged Magnesium Alloy by Fuchs.;)

    Price should reflect my poverty status! 100 per corner!:lol:

    Dave.

    I've been having thoughts about selling my 15x6.5 R8's to get money to fix my mk2 but I know I would regret it

    Joining this club again, briefly had a set of 6 x 14's sitting around but then had to sell them on sadly.

    picking up a set of et25 7 x 15's at the weekend.

    happy.

    QUICK QUESTION - standard vw bolts ok on these? advice welcome - fitting to one of my mk2 roccos with rear drums.

    cheers

    My dad used to run his rally Nova on the 14" ones - never paid over 10 a wheel from the scrapper for them - back in the days when B2 Audi Coupes were around...

    The hubs on my 6 x 15s are about 9mm thicker than those on my 14 P slots. So, I shall used longer bolts.

    Can't state for sure that all R8s have thicker hubs. It may vary with offset?

    Your Da was lucky that Corsas use 4 x 108 to use Coupe wheels.. We who have 4 x 100s would be flipping fortunate to find the very early B2 GTEs in a scrappy!
