2118's on order !!!!

[Guppy]

just orderd them from tweeks. cant wait to get them. coilovers next.
i drive a ff 182 with cup suspension. can i get fk coilies or do i have to get GAZ or H&R because of the 60mm hub bolt spacing??
help would be appreciated

 

[Steve]

Did you spec ET 43?

 

[ben_p]

do not get GAZ. h&r ftw

 

[Fred@BTM]

make sure you've ordered the correct offset, as tweeks have a habit of thinking 182's use the same offset as 172's

must be ET43, NOT the ET38

plus the ET43 is a stronger wheel!

 

[Fred@BTM]

^elaborate

 

[Steve]

Palmer motorsport i believe.

 

[HartZ]

Very good choice of wheels matey

 

[fmp_]

Palmer motorsport i believe.

got it in one.

the ET43 was comissioned by palmer sport for thier clio's. The wheel was beefed up and is a stronger item.

And i was told that by Chris Jordan @ Speedline (before anyone claims its BS)

i have been running the 2118 ET38 wheels on my clio 182 lowered on LEDA's and not had any problems.

(mat got there first but i had it comfirmed by David Williams at Speedline UK)

The ET43 wheel is a high duty specification, stronger and heaver than the et38 version and was ordered for the palmer sport clio cups, cost £105 per wheel delivered next day

go for h&r suspension or the adjustible GAZ set up - http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1776

 

[fmp_]

that £105 + Vat Dave?

 

[d4ve86]

just less than £105 including vat and del each

 

[fmp_]

bargain!

 

[d4ve86]

is that not what u paid?

 

[fmp_]

pah! hell no!

but thats still a good price!

 

[philmots]

FK coilies seem to be a good price compramise.

 

[d4ve86]

pah! hell no!

but thats still a good price!

Oi me and u need to have words!

 

[drhowser]

i paid £400 all in delivered for a set of the palmersport ones, but that was direct from speedline.

 

[fmp_]

pah! hell no!

but thats still a good price!

Oi me and u need to have words!

indeed!

 

[drhowser]

and as far as gaz coilies go, i sold mine for £150 iirc!

 

[holly1_7_2]

i've just bought a set of these for my cup

 

[Fred@BTM]

aren't you buggering off to yankee land?

 

[holly1_7_2]

aren't you buggering off to yankee land?

point being?

 

[Fred@BTM]

sorry! just assumed you'd be selling the car?

 

[holly1_7_2]

Nope i presume it will become marks new project car as i need a car here for when i come back at 3 month intervals whilst awaiting my visa

 

[kpowell911]

and 2118's are?

 

[Guppy]

yeah i have ordered et43. did a bit of research before hand. read that if i have clearence issuses once dropped on coilies to use a 5mm spacer which would then be et38???
anyway cant wait to get them but will need the coilies on to look good imho

 

[Guppy]

and 2118's are?

the cars that made me decide i want them

 

[Meek_racing]

Any other pics of this car from the side? Looks sexual I must admit!

 

[drhowser]

^^ that is like a mirror image of mine now! almost identical, but the ring sticker is on the other side. (and it's a bit cleaner too)

 

[Meek_racing]

can you post or email me any pics please drhowser? are you running coilover and at what droppage? thanks.

 

[Guppy]

they came today :star:

 

[ben_p]

nice

 

[d4ve86]

snap!

 

[fmp_]

oooh me me!! i got pics of them too...

hehe!!

 

[Guppy]

^^^different

 

[mark.k@GDI]

holly picked hers up on saturday

 

[geordieracer]

Does anyone think these will look ok in white on a cyclone blue dynamique? I have considered them but dont want to purchase in case they look wrong.

 

[Hoppy]

i paid £400 all in delivered for a set of the palmersport ones, but that was direct from speedline.

ive contacted speedline and they told me £117.50, does that mean yours were £400 excluding VAT?

 

[Hoppy]

just less than £105 including vat and del each

how?where from?
as said above i contacted a wheel supplier in my area that put me through to speedline corse and they quoted me £117.50 oer wheel. Is this probably because the middle man has added some on?

for a 1.2 mk2 ph2 expression should i go for et38 or 42?

ive been advised 38 previously

thanks
