Kinugawa turbo Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Came across these wheels from a mates garage and I was seriously scared when I took off the centre caps:death: Nice tyres though! Quote
JaiKai Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Came across these wheels from a mates garage and I was seriously scared when I took off the centre caps:death: Nice tyres though! I've seen that before on my old vw bora, so it can fit two separate wheel sizes! It does nt look like a homer so shouldn't worry about it. Quote
PerpetualZero Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Yea I've got a set of 17" wheels on my breaker Zed like this so it has 4 and 5 stud fitment, thought it was a good idea actually :P Quote

These alloys are going straight down the scappy to be weighed in once i get those fresh toyo's off! Quote
Clarkey Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Talk about over reaction. This type of arrangement is very common and there's nothing wrong with it at all. Quote
WelshZ Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 I know a few people who have had fitments like this and have never had a problem. Quote
JaiKai Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 The alloys are designed like this and would be perfectly safe to use ! I would try selling them first see if there's any takers before scrapping them. Quote

Coolq Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 seeing them in the flesh im with kinugawa turbo, the pics do not do the savage work justice, definately some back yard work done here, even the centre cap section is totally distorted in shape, (hard to see in the pics) Quote

dannyfiveforty Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 I too fail to see whats wrong with them, many of the wolfrace wheels and tsw are available in multi fitment with sometimes more holes than that Quote

Coolq Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 I too fail to see whats wrong with them, many of the wolfrace wheels and tsw are available in multi fitment with sometimes more holes than that its hard to tell from the pics, he shared them as viewing pleasure of some of the disgusting work people do, but we shouldnt start a who cares who doesnt war, simply the wheels are awful and drilled DIY. look very risky in real life which i cant stress enough. for the sake of 3-4 hundred quid, a new set of wheel will always be better, yes some wheels do come in 4/5 stud fitment, but these arent those, these are ' oh shit ive got 4 stud wheels and my car's 5 stud........ hmmmm i know let me drill some more holes into them jobbies':innocent: Quote
