Title: New Daily Hack
Post by: Sam on 12 September 2011, 08:15
Well, the time has finnally come where I have had to sort out my somwhat 'unreliable' transport situation. My lady has moved to edinburgh so I will be doing 600miles of driving some weekends when back at uni. Anyhow, here is a link to my wagon.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230667384072?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_667wt_1139

Im thinking a set of cheap jom coilies, set of decent wheels and a plug in map :-D

Indeed they are, and I dont have a spare 900 quid for a derv estate lol. On a slight side note, would I be correct in thinking that I could buy a set of say 5x100 wheels and stick em on either a big ass lathe or more simply a milling machine and take off 6mm all the way round to make them 5x112 fitment?

P.S would this be a safe option also  :lipsrsealed:

Scary thought for the day... NO im actually not. Anyhow it would appear that the world is now a safer place due to finding reps for £480

EDIT: Is the value 112 the diameter of the centre of wheel nuts? aka 5 nuts makes a circle and that circle is 112mm dia

Post by: golf-sib on 13 September 2011, 20:49
Don't the 112 mean how far apart the bolt/studs center's are from each other? Which is why with a 5x110 to 5x112 you can get away with wobbly bolts but not an ass in hell can you get 5x105 to 5x112?

I'm sure if you put a can of deicer on a lathe you could make some adapters for those wheels, since you can clearly do anything on that lathe.  :grin:

Banter, take it and laugh. I had to.

FYI calling me a "f**k head" is against the forums guidelines. Not that I care at all but it's a bit hypocritical asking them to clear it up while throwing those insults about.  :wink:

Hahaha, so what do people think to the A4 with green wheels that I posted, I think thats the kind of look I want to go for. Relatively cheap to do too if I can get the wheels or a similair wheel cheap enough.

Personally, I think you're on to a winner.

Perhaps a different colour for the wheels.

Its the wheel colour that I like the most, bearing in mind mine car is gloss black too they will be less obvious. Green and black works well, or at least it did until monster energy and mr block tainted the minds of the youth

Post by: Jack3559 on 14 September 2011, 00:32
Yeah, would work well with gloss.

Would be cool if you could get some Hulk bedsheets for headlining too to tie in the green theme.
