I'm pretty sure these are going to be marmite on here but I fecking love them. A guy is selling an anthracite set on the Rado forum with adapters to 4x100 and fresh tyres for £550. If I had the money going spare I'd be picking them up tonight!

theyd defo be very wide!! et10, not sure how they would look on a dub?? they seem to be jap drift type alloys.
I reckon though, on a slammed-to-the-deck mk1/2/3 golf, they'd look PHAT!
tbh though, i wouldnt spend that much on 'em.
LL ;)
p.s. another photobucket account filled?!?!?!

Here thay are fitted to an E30

oooh 8 wide and what, et-15? look pretty mental :grin:
-
wow, yes i like them a lot now!!! look good an e30, so wow, must look amazing on a golf lol!
did the "see them on your car" thingy, where you upload a pic of your car and put the rims on it. after some fiddling i decided i need white 16's on it!!!! mayb the rota grids, but too expensive for me...

eewww yuk..look good on the beemer but not my cuppa tea on a dub bit of a chav wheel imo :lipsrsealed:
-
i agree Horney nice rims, you wanna look at wider ones on the back and narrower set on the front, that would look sweet on a rado!
-
Well it's all a pipe dream as I could never afford a set.

not to my taste mate but if ya like um, my mate has got similar ones on his sklyline r33 actually got them from that site!

One of the biggest pieces of information about those wheels is missing (or have I just missed it?).
The weight of the wheels.
As this has a big impact on how the car handles with the wheels fitted I don't understand why so many companies don't list it with all of the other stats.
Nice enough wheels, shame the PCD's not right for VAG fitment.
-
Would the weight of the wheel have such a bearing when its going to be used on a road car rather than thrashed around a track? After all the speed limit is 70 and I dont see to many tight S's on the m6 :laugh: :grin: :evil:
-
it can actually make quite a difference to fuel economy.. used to get tons of posts from people whining that they had engine problems when they lost 10mpg after fitting heavy 19" replicas to mk4's :grin:

in the lad's original post he said he had adapters. obviously not ideal to be running stuff like that while pushing hard i'd have thought. a lot of the rota wheels are available in 4x100 though cos that's what hondas use.
i think the rota's are reasonably light in general, but not as light as the original wheels they're based on (mugen, rays, enkei etc.)
you found out the weight of g60 steelies yet?

is this to do with the "unsprung weight" or is it the "sprung weight" can never quite mind also taking into account the brake disk/calipper and the hub etc??
-
they're nice but i could dream of better :grin:
-
nice wheels :smiley: have you photoshoped em yet?
-
if they are et 10 without hub adapters they are going to effectively end up with a negative offset by the time the adapters are fitted. i cant imagine a car designed for et35 to drive very nicely!
they do however look hard as feck on the e30!
-
These look OK

should be able to change the spigot rings to allow for that, iirc the honda ones are slightly smaller.
