Got some new alloys :D

[manicmonkey]

just got these bad boy superturimos for a steal was looking for white ones, but i can get them refurbed for and still save money!

as the offset is 37, and standard alloys are 45(?) do i need different bolts?

also, regarding refurbing the alloys, do you think i would be able to get the text on the reprinted?

cheers

offset wont effect the bolts you need, std is 42 on a phase 2 172 and 37 goes on fine, shouldnt rub either.

Some companies can print up the graphics for you, maybe go to the wheel manufacturer and ask it they will sell you them rather than pissing about getting the measurements to make a set elsewhere.

i didnt think about rubbing actually :/ ive got H+Rs lowered around 40-50mm. hopefully it'll be ok!

Should be fine, i had 17s with an ET of 37 on my 172 running H&R's and that didnt rub.

do the et42 offsets rub slightly?? ive got same rims and it does scrub with sum weight in the bak and its at the standard ride height (guessing standard springs) but am looking to lower the car....

I think your going to have a problem with the centre bore size. They need to me 60.1mm and very few cars are that size honda almost 100% aren't.

Mine have what I think are spigot rings in them so you'll need to some new ones so the size is right. If you look inside the wheels when you get the you'll see what I mean.
