Recommended Posts

Been away for the weekend but managed to get some better photos. Modified shifter is good but needs adjutsment now. The new exhaust is perfect, so subtle but sounds great.

Might fit those lower caps to the front and go down one notch on the rears.

The wheels really suit the car in a purposeful way, it would be rude not to use your new brake clearance and get some 4 pots :lol:

Sorry to raise a thread from the past. I have been refurbing some BBS RKII's to go on an Audi A3, but when trial fitting them today found that the centre bore is waaaaaay too big for a normal VAG car (57.1mm). When measuring the centre bore I found they are approx 82mm. I have no idea what cars have a 5x112mm bolt pattern, relatively low offset (32mm) and a mahoosive centre bore.

 

I have trawled the internet all afternoon and not found anywhere that does spigot rings to reduce the bore from 82mm down to 57.1, but I have a glimmer of hope because in the hundreds of web pages I have visited, you sir, have had the same issue and are the only person who seems to have written online about it.

 

Please, please, please could you fix it for me to find out where you got your 82>57.1 spigot rings from, as mentioned in this post:

 

New daily. Gave it a wash and polish today.

1.8t with a few extras. Handles not too bad with Koni suspension. Sitting a bit low at the rear as its got the new wheels sitting in the back. Just need to figure out spigot ring sizes as the centre bore is massive on them (82mm!!)

 

Yours hopefully, Tim

 

PS - yes I did sign up just to ask this question, but since there are some pretty cool cars in the galleries etc, I think I'm gonna stick around.

Hi, I went on ebay and found a company that manufactured metal spigot rings to fit into the wheels. They were spot on and fitted the car perfectly. It was a while ago but there are still some folks on ebay as I enquired about some not that long ago. Failing that a good machine shop should be able to knock them up.
