dazzyvr6 0 Posted March 19, 2006 those wheels were a standard fit on lotus esprits http://www.lotusespritworld.com/EHistor ... heels.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gradeAfailure 0 Posted March 19, 2006 As taken by Rob aka Musicman but I won those OZ 17s, so once they arrive I might actually finally start a Member's Gallery thread...! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarlett 0 Posted March 19, 2006 yay!!!! the last 3 min of the auction were hell - i had to keep refreshing to check what was happening....!!! they will look fab.... :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gradeAfailure 0 Posted March 20, 2006 Right, pic request time! Who's running 205/40 on an 8.5" rim? I need pics to decide whether the stretch is going to be too much or whether I can live with it... The wheels are 8.5" ET35, so they're gonna be close on a VR with no archwork anyway! 205/40s are just cheaper and more common than 215/40, and that bit of stretch and slightly lower profile may help with clearance... Cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted March 20, 2006 Me. Plenty of pics about, not got any here. jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted March 20, 2006 You will need to do arch work if you want it nice and clear. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gradeAfailure 0 Posted March 20, 2006 How bad do you find the ride with the reduced height of the sidewalls Jay? I wince every time I hit a pothole... (I do avoid most of them but sometimes you have no option!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted March 20, 2006 No probs so far. Done about 15,000 on them with a really nice ride and no probs at all. jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted March 20, 2006 Dave you jammy git - nice rims 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gradeAfailure 0 Posted March 20, 2006 :oops: heheh, cheers buddy! dave the wheel ho strikes again... Jay, what's your effective offset on the 'vette rims with the adaptors? You're running a full wide-track, standard VR setup aren't you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted March 20, 2006 VR Wide setup in a narrow body. :) The effective offset is about 30. Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gradeAfailure 0 Posted March 20, 2006 Cool, well I have a wide body (no jokes please ;)) and ET35, so I reckon I should be ok! Just have to hope there'll be anough clearance for coilies when I can afford them... :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furkz 0 Posted March 20, 2006 in the abosolute worse case scenario you may need a spacer (10mm, when u get coiklovers) and arches rolled,,, i think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bally 0 Posted March 24, 2006 just read this post.. did you get the rims Dave?? If there the same rims Ive saw em before they got furbed lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gradeAfailure 0 Posted March 24, 2006 The rims aren't here yet, and they're coming from Deutschland... gonna order me some 205/40 Proxes T1-R next week... should have them by the RR day :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gradeAfailure 0 Posted April 4, 2006 Well, they arrived yesterday and I'm pretty damn chuffed! They're actually three-piece, not two-piece like the seller thought, and they are gen-ewe-wine OZ as well... got some T1S on order as I know they look good with a stretch, just waiting on some new centre caps and need to get some new wheel bolts too... Just out of interest, I weighed one of them without tyre and it came up at 11.9Kg - is this light or heavy for an 8.5x17"? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted April 4, 2006 May have to come over to yours before No Dice to dribble on them for a while if thats ok dude :lol: oh and yeah thats really heavy - you best just give them to me ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gradeAfailure 0 Posted April 4, 2006 Heheh, not a chance... ;) btw, NoDice is the 12th, not tomorrow... i'm off work with a bad back so feel free to pop over today if you're in the area... :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted April 4, 2006 may just do that on the way into the office later - will have to see how productive my morning is first (dribble at the ready) :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carpoid 0 Posted April 4, 2006 The OZ's look really nice mate, don't like many 5 spokers myself but these are, errrr, really nice !! So all you need to do now is put those 301's in a suitcase and come and see us, please ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scarlett 0 Posted April 4, 2006 yeah, these are a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit nice.... will suit the rado down to the ground.... :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gradeAfailure 0 Posted April 4, 2006 Well, just phoned work and the tyres have been delivered (only ordered them yesterday - can't beat Camskill, and I got a £10 discount for having them delivered to a business address!) so they should be on the car for Sun, provided my new wheel bolts arrive in time... Just gotta hope that the new grille, eyebrow and centre caps arrive soon too, then she'll be ready to start a MG thread! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
