I've been looking around over the last week or so for info on wheels and off sets ect.... Think I'm sorted in that department - BUT who the hell makes wheels that'll fit.

I'm not talking about 2G's worth of wheels here, I want some 17's maybe 18's at a sensible price - around

Mr Marshall sent me this link a few months back. Its quite old but a start.

http://s2000.byteserve.com.au/wheeloptions/

Although its an American site, you can go to tirerack.com and see what wheels are available and look at them on the car.

Hope this helps
Marc

 

OK, cheers Marc.

 

Looks like an australian site to me the .au gives it away

 

Thanks for that Mr Eagle but I was referring to tirerack as being an American site

I fancy the superleggeras, anyone got a URL and also when you get them how to you check they are the correct size, is there some kind of code stamped on them like you get with tyres so you can be sure you've got the right ones

 

Paul, see my response on the "alloy wheels" thread - Halfords have come up trumps for Superleggeras!!

 

OK, the off set that the Super Leggera's come in is 8X18 +45mm front and 9X18 +55 rear.

According to this calculator ----> http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html that offset will leave the wheels sticking out 29mm more than the OEM wheels - Is this correct and if so surely that means if I lower the car by say 1.25" things are gonna rub - right ?

 

Screw the Super Leggera's - !!! Wallet Warning !!!!

Check these out - http://www.speedstar.co.jp I just died and went to alloy wheel heaven !

Looks like they'll do really big off sets too
