Keyo 47 Posted March 19, 2020 Need some wheel pervets help here if I may. Have been told these have been refurbed white. Are these Vento competition 16 Speedlines ? Quick response would be appreciated. Im concerned they are Subaru ones or speedline 2110 Cheers, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted March 19, 2020 If you could find out the centre bore size that may help, pretty sure the Scooby ones are larger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seanl82 23 Posted March 19, 2020 They would be smaller than 57.1 if thick paint was on them...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted March 19, 2020 Matt (Sexy bourbon) had Scooby wheels iirc so he would know more. Pretty sure they're 5x100 though, just different centre bore and offset Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted March 19, 2020 I'd say they're cups, Subaru usually have an offset around 50 (ideal for VW with spacers), date is around about too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) These are old wheels now with both competition history as well as pot holed streets. A thick coat of powder hides a multitude of sins and finding someone who'll sell a single alloy to make a set is nigh on impossible. The last set I saw for sale were rough, without centre caps that are obsolete. I've been trying to buy a set for 20 years..........

Keyo 47 Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) They are a set of 4. I will add evidence shortly to prove they are most likely the real deal. Just got to do the deal first folks. Edited March 19, 2020 by Keyo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Dox, I imagine the stock corrado centre caps fit though if the bore is 57.1 ? Could just use the ones from my stock speedlines ?

Dox are you sure the centre caps are different there are no picture of the caps on that link. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted March 19, 2020 I can't find on, racing cars didn't have caps because they fly off. The A59 Golf prototype have black caps on? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fendervg 32 Posted March 19, 2020 Nice find - look the part, but you'd need to compare the part# - as for the caps, there are plenty of places that have for sale, or will make up caps in any size you want. I'd kind of agree about the white powdercoat potentially hiding a multitude of sins, and the first place these would be going if they were mine would be to the wheel shed to be blasted and dipped.

Keyo 47 Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) Ok I found the centre cap on a video it is a VW Motorsport cap . on the Mk3 A59 prototype http://vordermanvw.blogspot.com/2018/08/watch-sms-takes-legendary-mk3-golf-a59.html Edited March 19, 2020 by Keyo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dox 23 Posted March 21, 2020 Buyer beware, I tried to buy these 2 weeks ago, the seller said £350 needing a refurb, which puts them at £700+. Today the same wheels appeared for £220 ono with this picNot as hard to find a spare of these as the speedlines, but that could look much better with a grind and thick powderCoat?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keyo 47 Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) Im sure they will hide a few sins under the white paint, but all the Vento cup alloys have been on a track I reckon. However I will get them correct. I know Nothelle alloys and the BBS RS are sort after but to be fair these are rarer and are from VW motorport issued to the race teams, but rarer then a VSR and has racing history. so on paper are the Holy Grail of Corrado alloys- that is just my opinion because I'm sure everyone has their own favorite. I imagine most of the wheel released to the race teams are half dead. Edited March 29, 2020 by Keyo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
