R-tec Auto Design

[Chris.S]

Anyone had any dealings with them ?

[AltezzaScott]

Seen good reports about them in the car mags... but i don`t personally know anyone who has had dealings with them Chris.. why what you after from them... or is it a secret??

[Zee007]

I went there with Andy Hart last year to have his TTE coilovers fitted - seemed competent and professional enough....

The brothers who own this place started a company a few years ago and sold it... by the name of "Ripspeed".....

The Ripp brothers - hence "R"-tec..... ;)

[Chris.S]

They advertise the wheels I want and I was after a price, but there is no email address on their site.

Paul (Fargo) got his wheels from there...

If you remember, they supplied the wrong offset to begin with, but corrected their mistake.

I'd give him a PM.

Its only a couple of miles from me if you want me to pop down for anything Chris, its a nice looking shop.

didn't you meet us there in your merc last year rich..... for lunch or something.....?

[ricky_is200]

Yep, took you for a spin in a real car :shutit:

[TonyGoose]

Were these people called something else before ??

Extreme something or other was it ??

Maybe i'm thinking of someone else ...

Hmmm, where's my coat :)

There is also another place, Xtreme Motorsport near me but I didn't think the two were related. R-TECH is the far smarter outfit.

Your right....

It was Keith Ripp's son's.... In Harlow

Then they Sold the name Extreem to C.A.R and Ripspeed to Halfords....

Simular to David Lloyd to Witbreker or something for millions..

Now they own Land in Scotland and Golf courses....

R-Tec ehhh,, yep i had dealings with them..got my wheels from them,, although they sold me the wrong offset, although eventually they did replace them at cost cause by that time i had scuffed 3 of them and after they rolled my arches for free.

They kept saying that they were the correct offset, even though clearly looking at them they were not..cause there 'book' said so.

Anyway talk to Adrian,, he runs things donw there and is excelent at customer care i must say..

Rich if you are passing at some point, I need to find how much the KEI Velocity alloys are without tyres

18" x 7.5"

If I remember correctly isn't the offset 45mm

[ricky_is200]

Might be quickest to give them a call Chris as you'll know what your talking about more than me, but I can certainly pop in and ask anything, take pics of the wheels etc.

[Scorpion]

Could of course give them a ring :winky:

Edited for Ricky.... (only trying to help)
