Anyone Use These?

Postby Classic Finn » Sun Jan 10, 2010 1:11 pm

Here we have a dealer that just got a new shipment of wheels in. Anyone use any of these for their tear? In my opinion they would look good. What do you think?

Nice wheels heiki :thumbsup:
The Empi 5 spoke are very popular with the VW crowd. They look like they have the same wide stud pattern that Grizz is using on the Grizpod.

I like the chrome rims too :thumbsup:

How are your spoked wheels coming along ? There in a totally different league. 8) 8)

Nice to hear from you Dave :thumbsup: I havent done too much with them spoked ones yet. Cleaned em up a bit but not to the point they look real great yet. Just too cold out :)

I wish they had the direct 4 x 100 or 5 x 112 instead of the ones mentioned. Then they could fit directly, however Ive learned how to go about getting around that :lol:

Hello Heiki

have you seen these wheels that you can buy in Sweden

http://www.alven-ingvarsson.se/fälgar/cragar/81-smoothie

If they dont fit your axels you can buy wheel adapters from your lug pattern to a standard 4,5 "

How cold is it in Finland now? We have -4 tonight in Denmark.

Hej Shane tak för det websidan. Jag forstår svenska okså ingen problemet för mej;)

Spacers are not allowed here so Ive overcome that by taking the entire hub and wheel over to a buddy of mine to redo or machine new ones and make fit sort of legally. :lol: :lol: :R Little extra work and pain but its been done on my present tear and the inspectors didnt recognize it at all. :twisted: :lol:
