Different size Speedlines?

[Cnut 0]

Were the Speedline alloys on a VR6 ever avaliable to buy aftermarket at different sizes like 16" or 17"?

 

Because I really like the design of the Speedlines but I think they would look alot better in 16" or 17" also in keeping with the original look of the car.

I'd like to know this too, along with - do scoobie fitment fit the VR? As they had some tasty gold or alloy coloured 16 and 17" speedlines very similar to the standard VR ones?

[dinkus 10]

Nope, the Speedies were 15 or er 15. I have a feeling that rumours were going round of some 16's in existance, but I've never seen or heard of them.

 

The closest (and it is a mighty close match) are the Compmotive MOs in 16 x 6.5J. They look slightly different depending on which width you go for, but that particular size looks almost identical, but 16" - and they're the same width as the Speedies too.

 

Otherwise I have a feeling that Scooby wheels are the right stud pattern, but I don't think the offsets will work on a C. Might be completely and utterly wrong though.

im sure the scooby wheels could be made to fit they are 5x100 too that would be a cool look!

[billinjah 0]

yup they are et 48 so could be spaced to fit.

I remember a few years back a guy from the VWCCGB up in Scotland managed to source a set of 17inch speedlines identical to his 15 O/E speedlines

[dinkus 10]

Ahh, so the rumours are true!

 

Boogared if I know where they came from though :D

Bugger, my wheel fettish takes a new turn then. Gold 16/17" scoobie speedlines and spacers. They are really quite cheap brand new on ebay and lots on there. I recon they'd look pretty good.

[dinkus 10]

Is the centre bore the same size/bigger than the Corrado though?

maybe but hardly a big prob!

[NickVR6 0]

Plastic thingies sort this dont they?

[billinjah 0]

yeah or a little drilling but tbh if your getting spacers you can get them hubcentric so youll have no issues at all wkprecision.co.uk are the boys for this sort of thing!

[dinkus 10]

You can probably make the centre hole fit - but it's worth finding out before you buy em ;)

[CoxyLaad 0]

I have a set of OZ prodrive P1 scooby wheels to go on the angry lemon, et 52, and hole centre 1mm smaller than the vw one. so, I am getting hub centric spacers made up 14mm thick, to match th esmaller center hole

[Henny 0]

ah, so the center bore needs enlarging 1mm to fit scooby wheels to a Corrado?

 

Hmmm... *goes off to think about something...*

Hope that hoooooge link works.

 

17" Speedline silvers look pretty similar to me. I was thinking of getting them for my G60 a while back but had no cash.

 

 

edit - didn't work. only half the link is working. Anyone help?

 

 

 

Speedos

I remember a few years back a guy from the VWCCGB up in Scotland managed to source a set of 17inch speedlines identical to his 15 O/E speedlines

 

That's because they were available in 16 and 17" about 3 to 4 years ago. I rang Speedline themselves to enquire about this 6 months after I bought my C and they said they probably still have the moulds in Italy, but won't consider producing a batch unless some unrealistic number of people bought them....and they'd be like £1000 a set in 17" if they did make them :-(

[Kevin Bacon 5]

biggrim, I've sorted your link for you. The Speedo 2110s (almost identical to VR ones) are unfortunately 4 stud Renault, Ford and Peugeot only.... they're not available in 5 stud :-(

 

EDIT - no I didn't, sodding thing isn't working properly, one of the other mods might be able to fix it!

[biggrim 0]

Cheers for that Kev. Bit of a bugger that they're only 4 stud for you VR guys. I've attached a couple of pics anyway.

 

Henny - you don't need ANOTHER set of wheels do you?????

[Henny 0]

no I don't want another set of wheels... I need to sell at least 2 of the sets (and 2 of the golfs I have too...) pretty soon so I can sell my house... :|

 

Anyway, Link now works (in a cheating kind of way!)... The forum doesn't like having a ' in a weblink and trunkates the link as soon as it sees one...

that could really confuse someone... speedlines? on a valver?? and they're 17's?!? *head pops in bewilderment*
