Wheel Experts. What are they??
« on: 17 October 2011, 18:08 »
Anyone have any idea what wheels these are? They came on a mk2 I picked up a few weeks ago so are 4 x 100, and are 6.5Jx15. Cant seem to find any info on them, and could do with some new caps (and a re-furb obviously).

You don't own a Mk2, you support it.

Looks like they held on with the wrong bolts.  :undecided:

I have a set of those bolts and they are fine if covered over!

They look like a cheap copy of an AEZ wheel.
And if it took that many balancing weights I'd guess that the wheel is buckled or warped in some way!

Aftermarket alloys normally use different bolts.   :rolleyes:

Thanks guys - yes, im under no illusion, they are a cheap wheel, just had no idea what they were as never came accross them before.

They will do for winter, then il be sticking some RA's on the car in the spring.

Still the wrong bolts, I suspect if you checked an alloy you would see they are square taper seat.
