Umm and arr'd

Umm'd and arr'd but final decided to pick up these bad boys

Have always liked the retro styling of the early acs rims so when these appeared i wanted them.
They are a replica wheel but the guy brought them in 2012 and never fitted them so they have come new and boxed.
8.5 front and 9.5 rear, always wanted a nice dish on the rear a 2.8 longs for it and these will fit 4mm further out without my 20mm spacers fitted so will give me a look i want.


Carn't wait to get them shod and on as the car will have the look ive wanted for a while

Those bad boy will look great once on the car

 

[Grumps]

Are they 18's Ant? If so your pushing the boundaries on the front. Believe me I know!

 

[andyglym]

Nice set of wheels mate

 

[Bozzy]

Thumbs up from me Ant they look great I look forward to seeing them on your zed .
Just a thought,if you're not going to be needing those 20mm rear spacers do you want to sell them ?.

Yeah 18's and it was the umming and arring bit but on the wheels fitted from mounting face to outer edge it is 80mm its exactly the same on these rims bang on 80mm so i think as the rim build is different they actually fit the same.
Mine bow out 12mm these actually bow in even on the front
The over all rim width is less than 5mm in difference even though the wheels are a different width so i think they will fit and be tucked under.
The car as it sits.....

At worse its 6mm on the front and thats not even to the edge of the rim protector on the existing tyre and on the back the offset is 33 so sits the same as the 8j with a 20mm spacer currently fitted bar 4mm more out on the rear so i think they will be perfect

If you have your new wheels on for the weekend could do the transaction at the Derbyshire cruise perhaps,let me know how much you want for the spacers if you're selling them separate from the wheels Ant.

Might squeeze them in then mate. Mine are 18's, 8.5j with offset 41. I have a small roll on the front tyres as they rub on the inner arch liner otherwise. Do like the wheels though mate,they look great.

We need to see lots of pics at different angles when fitted - they should look the business!

[Russell O]
