The below are high performance summer tires (made in Korea). These are bestsellers in the US.

I did a search on the internet and found these pics for the 5zigen RSX-6 rims.
They look cool!

I also found these pics of the Racing hart CX wheels

Dave,
Any hope you get a deal on Rays (Volk, Graham Light ...)

Found these CR's on a Granite IS:

I like These look too dark to be gunmetal though?

Dave are the alloys you get the one's with the studs round the sides like in this photo or the smooth one's like in the spreadsheet? Can you get the studded ones?

Also I saw some stunning Lowenhart alloys by Hart - can you get any Hart alloys or just these?

Thanks mate

are the CR ones one piece or multi piece

what colours do they come in ??

I will try.

The ones I have on offer are a one off

Will ask around

barrie,

They are one piece & come in gunmetal or shiney silver

Dave

Aido,

Can only get these at the moment.

Am 99% sure that they are only the smooth ones but will ask

yet another question mr PROLEX-UK

do they come with bolts and locking bolts ?
or even nuts ?
sudden lapse of memory means i cant remember wether they should have nuts or bolts

but any way do they come with....fastners to hold them on with

mr dobedo I think you will have to use your own nuts to hold them on







Will ask

Nuts

i like the RSX-6 for my car hp

EH, lad! And I recall the days when my Citroen DS23 had nice big shiny hub caps! I like a 'solid look' to a wheel myself.
I'm about to single-handedly change wheel fashion! Going to have my (standard) LS400 wheels done in body colour (Graphite grey!) . Chrome and alloy out! Colour in!?
Picking up a spare set next week.
Or...should I do them in glitter black.....Hmmm

latest update on these wheels

these 2 rims (RSX)are also suitable for the GS or LS. You can mount 235/40/18 on these wheels.
These are one piece wheels.


Btw on the Racing harts ... the ones that I have are one-piece rims and are the smooth ones (without the screws/pins side). That one is a multi-piece wheel and much more expensive (prob. 2 - 3 times more expensive).

Dave

would like to see a pic of them

the smooth cr`s

when will these be available?

soon

OK,

My supplier sent me the following email in response to barries nuts question


First on the wheels, new normal chromed nuts are approx. GBP6 for 20
nuts, but I asked the supplier to include these.

As alternative, they can also buy these special light weighted forged
nuts. You can get these in red, blue, silver, titanium color.
These are GBP40 for one set.

Pic to follow

Going back over the thread these are the people interested

from what I've read daveellen,dobedo & supracharged are definates

could I ask the others above or anyone else interested to PM me ASAP.

Shipping is £500 for 8 sets...........which works out @ not a lot as they are coming from Japan....by canoe (may be gone for some time )

Roll up roll up !

Dave

Closing date for this order is this monday coming at 5pm

I'll pass on the alloys please Dave, sorry mate but I prefer the multiple section one's.

So those prices.......... that is excluding customs and tax right?

how much for a set of graphite nuts all in?

cheers

oli

definately want a set of the titanium nuts. can i ask what that open ended thing is about tho? will my wheel wrench be able to fit over it to gain a good seating?
and will it being open ended let in water and cause a seizure especialy once we get salt on the roads in da winter?
can we source some rubber grommets or sumfin to go in there ?
but i stillwant a set tho!

mr prolex

will these wheels be available in any other sizes
or at a later date

have somone else very interested for a set

but he has a few commitments to pay this month

these wheels are a one off at the moment
my supplier has offered them to me as a starting incentive
hence the low price
i am not sure that he would be able to offer these prices again
they are japanese alloy, known as the finest virgin alloy around

await for the last minute rush to order




couldnt you lend him some money Barrie

i said i knew him
didnt say i liked him

will let him know

Hm not sure these will now fit the race car.being as low as it is

you know what..........ive even posted a guide to offsets in the wheel section..........ive posted all the possible offsets available, and what offsets fit what wheels etc etc......................

yet i still dont understand offsets.......

what is the concequence of the 48 ...... offset on the car, my Volks are an offset of 45 front and rear

am i right in assuming that a 48 moves the mounting face away from the centre line by 48mm.., there fore meaning the wheel mounting face is......3mm further away from the hub than with my Volks.

can someone who REALLY understands offsets explain please.

My limited understanding is that the higher the number the further out everything moves...so yes you are correct.

Hopefully Colin will be along shortly.

wrong !!

the higher offset means that the centre line will be in towards the car

the lower offset will push it out


offset is the distance between the rear of the hub to the centre of the rim

so... on mats volkes an offset of 45mm and a width of say 200mm
this puts the outer face of rim 100mm (1/2 full width) less offset of 45mm at a distance of 55mm from the drum hub face

on a 48mm offset this would be a distance of only 52mm

i think they would fit !
but you would have to ensure there is room for caliper clearance

another bit of information :

on a 45mm offset

add a 5mm spacer

you will end up with a 40mm offset

thats wot i woz told

stand corrected

then these will not fit the race car

why ??
