Any one seen these before? What you reckon..
They will be available as 8x16 - 4x100, 5x100 and 5x112
I quite like them but at £180 a wheel i would kind of expect some sort of centre cap..

Discuss :smiley:
-
£720 a set :shocked: would not be my choice.
Original P slots are cool, these are not that good looking to me.
:smiley:
-
I like them but have to agree on the centre caps. Would look much better with caps.
-
good but to expensive!
-
Not keen, think these fall into that category if you have exactly the right paint, bumpers etc etc, then they look good but their only suited to a particular style car,, not even sure about them on that mk2 :undecided:
-
Old news was in pvw a few months back.. Too expensive for what they are
-
Gotta get me a set :cool: I like them. Probably the next wheel to be an OEM+ item?
-
I like them (on the right car!)
let's see how popular they become as there a fairly decent price compared to a decent set of bbs etc
-
as bbs ays i would rather a set of bbs for that boney but i think they would look awesome on my car
-
made by compomotive, look great to me and the price is what a proper set of new wheels cost, can't compare to no-brand replica stuff!
-
The wheels I really wanted were Compomotive CXN's which were £256 per wheel so yes that is cheap!
-
made by compomotive, look great to me and the price is what a proper set of new wheels cost, can't compare to no-brand replica stuff!
This. Proper wheels, proper price.
They will look epic on the right car and it's a great way to update the originals.
-
im liking the lack of centre cap on these
-
Was looking to go 8x16. Would look awesome if they came in staggered dish :smiley:

Agree with both comments, although I feel they would suit a small bumper car.
-
Been looking at getting a set, the price seems reasonable to me, would suite a SB car better I think... wheel photoshopped onto Russ Whitefields C4RBD make them look like ATS Cups with P slots, and would look better in the flesh, me thinks

I love those!! :cool:, would look very nice on an ultra clean slightly lowered mk1 campaign.

Thought I was in for a poo covered weekend!

Will this push original P slots prices up then? :undecided: or make them cheaper :rolleyes:
-
I really like these. Reckon they'll look any good on an MG ZR? :grin:
Nick
-
This MG sh!t needs slapping out of you, boy.
Go outside and sleep in the MK2 until you feel better.
-
:grin: Tis for Mrs Horney though really. I think we're going to look at one on Saturday to see if she can actually see over the steering wheel. Usually she can't so it'll probably be ruled out. So far the only cars we've found she can drive comfortably is a classic mini and an Alfa GT. Everything else she needs a booster seat.

Nick, they are not a good choice, diesels are ok but petrols eat head gaskets etc.

Headgaskets, blah blah blah. Dabbled with a few K's in the past and never had problems if you keep an eye on coolant quality and levels. It's people who don't look after them that have a problem. Any signs of dropping compression or coolant loss and it's a quick dowl replacement and the proper gasket and they're good for another 100K. THe VVC ones are pain to do the gasket but the non VVC ones are a doddle.

Plonk the lower temp thermostat in and they'll be fine. The Elise boys swear by them.
Still not a good look Nickers, you'll have people pointing and laughing.

I'm used to it bud, with a boat race like mine it happens all the time :grin:

I like them. As said, if the quality is top notch then they are priced the same as any other quality wheel... P-Slots are pretty much dead, BBS spokey wheels are almost the norm and these new slots bring them back, they look great and are well suited to older dubs. It's a fresh take on a classic wheel and they look harder without caps, they don't need them. :cool:

I like them, if they came with 9j then i would seriously consider them, although i still am and i reckon i could pull them off in the mk3... :grin:

Ooooo, just realised that the price is INCLUDING VAT not that it make any different to anyone else but me...means i got about £120 off... :evil: :evil: :evil:

The 'K' is back from the dead in the new MG6, apparently revamped and uprated.

The more I look at these wheels, the more I think they'd look amazing on my Corrado.
And I don't 'do wheels'.

those are very nice wheels, big fan of the originals on mk2's. dont think they would look as good on any other model though.

Lupos and Polos look the bees on P slots.

I agree, a guy down the road from me has a little silver lupo, lowered on black split rims and i love it.

Hi,
Thank you for the kind comments about the Concept P wheels, I designed them so its really nice to get honest feedback. I agree, think the Concept P would look great on a lupo gti that had been lowered a bit. Looking forward to seeing more out there on peoples cars.

I managed to get hold of one of the first sets for my car, took the pic at the pod this weekend :smiley:

Think they sit well on the Mk1.
Also don't know if you have seen it but there is a set up for grabs in this month's PVW

Yes... Yes I do, convert your car to 4x100 and we can go halves :grin:

Always got new designs on the go...
A gent from the Fire & Ice de forum wants to do the estoril type wheel but as a 7.5j x 17"
(http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/s720x720/293958_206723892729010_187424441325622_488181_1862676657_n.jpg)
Another is the 8.0j x16" RA which I've shown shopped onto a nice Corrado.

these are comming out in the next few weeks (delayed from earlier in the year) as an 8j and 7j x 13" with more sizes to follow

And it was these that caused the delay...... the 8j x 15" is cast and ready to be machined, painted and delivered with the 7 and 9" coming along straight after
these are historic porsche 911 rsr race wheels but can be supplied to suit many other applications'

that does not work for me at all
they look ok on the MK1 tho. but not as good as i expected.. :undecided:
-
Think that may be down to fitment rather than the actual wheel design really...
A spacer or bit more dish at the back to get it flush with the arch and it would be awesome.

Dude its good to have you on here. What cad system do you use and what do you use to render?

you could be correct mate
they deffo suit the MK1 more tho

i would love those last wheels on the red gti if you could make them more like zender turbos ie with a vented centre cap :cool: in 4x100 and 15in to fit a mk1 golf
i still think zender turbos are the ultimate mk1 wheel

I reckon the MX5 boys would go nuts for these in 15" 4x100:

Hi,
I went for an easy fit. My car runs the std arches woth no mods at all, I have to use the back seats the car is my familly daily driver so I went for the simple ET35 all round with 195/45's rear and 185/50's front.
The mk1 in the pic's runs ET19 front and ET15 rear with 195/40's all round so its a bit more of a tight fit. Think the best way would be to have 175's front with the 195/40's rear with the staggered offset and run it lots lower then they would look really good.
The wheels themselves are manufactured from ET15 to 35 in 4 or 5 lug so can be supplied as a staggered fittment without spacers if thats what you want.
Also the design software we use is Solidworks with the add in Photoworks package.
Hope this helps
Chris :smiley:

i dont reakon you will sell half what your aiming for on the p slots :undecided:

Hi,
Firstly thank you for the feedback, its all welcome valued, important, good and bad.
The Concept P wheel has been introduced by Venom Motorsport, the whole point of it to be an exclusive desirable wheel that is not intended to sell in massive numbers as it is only intended to be a limited production run. The first batch is out there now and this is just 15 sets, yes the plan is to sell more than that or it simply isn't worth doing but to give it some perspective Compomotive who are a relatively small wheel manufacturer produced in the region of 30,000 wheels last year.
Best regards
Chris

Hi,
Good question, The wheel obviously CAN NOT be marketed labeled or sold as a BBS product as it quite simply is not. The style of the wheel is inspired by the old BBS RA which was never manufactured as an 8.0j x 16", as long as the wheel is not an exact copy in every detail then the product is a new design in its own right.

Yes....... Yes they do and I think that particular version would be even better on a different or more OEM colour car, say Black or White! They'd look ace on mine although i'm now very drawn to

How much and how soon? :drool:
Edit: Just noticed 5 stud 18" (booo!) any plans on 4 stud 15"/16" ?
-
I'm with Chris, droooool... they would look awesome on my car in a 15".

Hi,
4 stud is nota problem but Venom were looking into this as an 9.0j x 18". If you like the idea let them know or comment on their Facebook page.

how much i want these 9j 18s on my mk4

Think it all depends on if the Concept P's work out as planned for them so no price as yet, wouldn't hurt to let them know you like them though..... :smiley:

Hi,
These have just been given the production Go ahead this morning.
Welcome to the new Compomotive motorsport MVS-1890 & MVS-1810 wheels, As the name suggests they are Nine and Ten by Eighteens and expand upon the light weight Mvs range, the offset range has not yet been confirmed but its a safe bet that it will offer the same fitment options as the equivalent sized MO's.
This is the 9"

Here they are with the current 8", showing how the extra width has been placed on the front of the wheel

-

+1 Love the Concept T and RA'S
Chris, Would love to see something like the Zender turbo's (the polished concave face, 1 step type)
I am loving the way wheels are going today!!
PS : rotiform wheels ...from 600 a corner!! P slots are a bargain!!
-
Would be interested in the RA's.
But not for the price...
-
Has he confirmed any prices? He is only the CAD engineer
-
Nah, but seeing as compomotive are a 'proper' wheel company you can guarantee they won't be cheap.
-
you get what you pay for....
-
Definitely.
I avoid reps as much as possible.
All my wheels (bar one set) have been hand me down OE wheels like Porsche or VW BBS or Audi Ronal.
