Looking For Some Alloys

[Keir]

Hey guys, im looking for some 16" or 17" alloys. (have to be black or white :D )

I'd love some like this.. link

But I think the price is just a bit "pla!"

So where you do lot get your alloy's from?

As a sideline, the info you require on wheels will be

PCD (spacing distance of holes for wheel studs size) will be 4x100

offset should be around 35mm - 38mm (37mm seems to be about best if fitting 17's)

Bore size (centre of wheel that 'sits' on/against wheel hub) is 54.1mm

Incidently if you do fit '17's then you will 'catch' on the rear wheel arch if say you are caring more than 3 people/luggage.

Thanks by the way, whats this offset thing?

[Twincam.GTi]

Offset is distance of 'hub' part of wheel in relation to 'rim' part of wheel and thus inturn as to how far it sits within the arch (e.g. a smaller offset such as 5mm would have your wheels sticking out from the body work like a 'dune buggy').

ahhh right. cheers

well i av had a 2003 corolla and a 2003 t-sport(present car) and on both cars ive put a 42 offset with 225/45/17 tyres.wen i got the t-sport it had 18" rims with a 35 offset and the handling was all over the place!!

have never had any rubbing/ctaching on the rear no matter how many i had in the back with the 42 offset
