haha been there.... they are the wrong centre bore the first 2, they are vaux which is 54.1 so i would to try and get them rebored. and the ren ones are too big on the centre bore so will need to have a spigot ring of some sort. I MAY have found some very light wheels with rubber for just over 400 that fits the bill, im awaiting a reply to make sure they will fit, so watch this space. if they are correct ill let you all know hows a 6.5" x 15 tipping the scales at only 5.5kg....
What would you suggest for light weight then Chris? ATS DCT? 7x15 or 8x15? Wonder if they do low low et's too. can get 4 of these for 279.5 with the VAT off!
Have a look at www.wheelweights.net for light weight wheels. Surprising how heavy some of the so called light-weight wheels are!
Renault centre bores are too big, but having a Vauxhall set bored (56.6mm I thought, btw) isn't out of the question if the price is right. ETs tend to be 45/49 though. ATS or Team Dynamics - no question whatsoever.
Just having a poke around on wheelweights, and found that Enkei make the RPF1 that will fit Mk2 Golfs. Only 4.4kg (9.8 lbs)! Bit expensive at 167 per wheel. OZ Ultraleggera/ATS DTC are 5.6kg, Team Dynamics 1.2s 6.9kg.
A few more notes, which were dragged off www.wheelweights.net whilst trying to decide on minimum wheel weights / max spend for the Golf GTI Championship (all 7x15): Rota GT3, 100, 6.9kg Compomotive CXG, 131, 7.12kg ? Pro race, 7.28kg ? Pro 2, 130, 6.60kg ATS DTC ?90?, 6.28kg Rota Grid, 6.19kg, 88
Chris, you dont know where the Rota Grids were from do you and the offset? as these are the wheels i want, but the few places ive seen them dont give any info on offsets...one place in america said et40 which is no good but thats all
Try here: http://www.alloywheelsinternational.com/4-100-15inch.html Rota Grids in white, 15" (not sure on width, but imagine it would be 7-7.5") 4x100, ET35-45 without tyres: 395
ive seen them for sale for 455 with tyres, on the offset front its a shame i need around 28 as thats what i have to the mo with no issues, but im pretty close to the coil overs, spacers may still be needed then
ATS DCT's it is then, Waiting for price from local motorsport firm. Well there behind a certain gear set kit i'm after.
RESULT!(ish)! the place i went o see on sat have got back to me and they no longer do the Rota Grid in white, or the Slipstream and the Grid only comes in ET40, but the Slipstream does come in ET28 as i need, down side is they are black but I will live with that and also theres a 10 week waiting list.
I found them on ebay but they are being sold by a company loacal to me, http://www.topgear.co.uk/acatalog/15_Rota_Wheels_Slipstream_Black_Alloy_Wheels.html they come with Nankang tyres fitted, so not too shabby. i just need to sell my wheels now..
i found nankangs to be very slippy on my bmw , not sure if you will get the same result though, can you upgade the tire package?
yeah you can upgrage to toyos for 25 but im going to be streached to afford these at this rate its looking like it wont be on the road due to lack of funds anyway. i had nankangs a few years back on one of my old mini coopers, and even in 145 ditch finder size they were pretty good in the dry, so that will do me. the cars only coming out of dry days any way and will prob do a track session too when ive done uni provided i get my job
sorry to hijack - but does anyone recognise these wheels?? They are made by Vesta apparently although they have OZ Racing stickers on them. Cant find any information on Vesta wheels whatsoever! Need some centre caps for them ya see. Anyone??
