Can anyone tell me whether these will fit straight on to my Ed30?

Not very clued up with off sets and all that jazz. Am also looking at the black Monzas (like on the European models), but they seem to be big £'s, but I know they would go straight on with no worries.
The Team Dynamics on the other hand look fantastic and are lightweight too.
See here, on a VXR, but you get the idea..

But will they fit on without to much bother?
Help!!!
-
Yes, they will fit as you can order them with 112mm PCD and the offset is 45 which is acceptable for an 8" alloy.
-
Ah good man.. What's a PCD? Sorry to sound dum, but as I say, not to clued up in that area..
So you think they will go straight on mate, without sticking out etc or rubbing? I will be putting the original rubber on them too and selling the Tyres the new wheels come with..
-
Not a dumb question :smiley:
PCD is Pitch circle diameter.
If you drew a circle with its centre in the middle of the alloy and the circle outer rim piercing the centre of each bolt hole, then the circles diameter in mm is the PCD. See the pic below.

These are exactly the wheels that I'm looking at, the only thing stopping me at the moment in the rim embossing - I'd like to see a picture of a Golf with these on to see how they blend.
Definitely upgrade the tyres to something more usefull!
-
Yeah, i'll be swapping the tyres off my Pescara's with the one's that come with the new wheels. So long as they fit ok, which they should do I think..
Must admit, i'd like to see a Golf with these on too. But i've seen quite a few different cars with them on and they all look spot on.
-
the only thing stopping me at the moment in the rim embossing -
What sticking out the arches you mean?
-
No, the text around the rim that's embossed in - Team dynamics motorsport. On the pictures of just the wheels only it looks fairly in-your-face, as I'm not a fan of that I'd like to see a picture of what they were like fitted. I'll still probably end up getting a set around the end of march time and just use them for summer wheels, keeping my old 17's for the winter.
-
I do like the TD wheels, but part of the ED30 attraction is the wheels.
Same as my old Lightning Yellow VX220, it had Ltd Ed wheels and it seemed daft to take them off.
-
Why not just paint the Pescara's? Seen an Ed30 around me thats had it done - looked really good
-
I'm just not a huge fan of the design to be honest guys.. Remind me a little bit of the old TSW wheels, which were a bit :sick:. I wouldn't mind so much if the car was black, but I just think a white car needs dark rims to set it off IMO
Can't really get the wheels powder coated/sprayed, as it's a leased car, so doubt they'll be to happy. Where as if I sell them, I can buy a half decent condition set (cheaper) at some point in the next 3 years (Time of lease) and put them back on for when it goes back. :wink: In the mean time, i'll replace them with a set of the TD wheels or the black Pescaras (although at £283 a piece, I very much doubt i'll be getting them.. :embarassed:) and everyone's a winner.. :smiley:
-
sell me your pescaras if you do swap them :tongue: :wink:
