Look like Rota Grid's

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:

you're kidding right?  :shocked:

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

yes
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

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:
