bernie1033 0 Posted March 9, 2010 picked up these rims a couple of weeks back and now trying to find 2 centre caps as theyre missing,the cap is a screw on type with a seperate cover to cover the studs,if i cant source the proper caps im going to get flat caps made, anyway the specs are,, 3 piece splits, 16x8, et 34(i think), 5x100 + 5x114.3, made in japan by weds, whats peoples opinions on these on the corrado? any help appreciated.

V-Dubstar 0 Posted March 9, 2010 Yeh I reckon they'd look pretty smart too :shades: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bernie1033 0 Posted March 10, 2010 flat caps or hold out for the original? maybe satin black centres with a gloss black lip and polish all the studs as they seem to be s/s, my rado is flash red. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kempy 0 Posted March 10, 2010 you might never find originals, just get 4 the same :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bernie1033 0 Posted March 10, 2010 looks like im in for, 4x100 to 5x100 conversion, sort some flat caps, full strip down and refurb on wheels, wonder what to do to the car after that :D does it ever end :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted March 10, 2010 oooh i like the wheels. Think they would work quite well on a rado. Where did you pick them up from? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bernie1033 0 Posted March 10, 2010 was given them foc, brother in law donated them to the cause :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Bowen 1 Posted March 10, 2010 they look very similar to the lenso RS5 wheels, i wonder if those caps would fit? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
V-Dubstar 0 Posted March 10, 2010 they look very similar to the lenso RS5 wheels Exactly my thought! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bernie1033 0 Posted March 10, 2010 thinkin of black,satin centres with gloss lip, all the studs on the wheel polished can get four flat centres sorted so think thats the look ill go with, think they will suit the rado better with the flat caps, could colour code the lips with black centres?

bernie1033 0 Posted March 10, 2010 had a bit of time to spare this evening so decided to dismantle one of the wheels, also got a price on getting these sandblasted €100 for everything so all going well they will be fully striped next week, few more pics,, now to source the parts for the 5x100 conversion.
