the centres on these look quite small (i would have thought that they had to be bigger but i measured a set of rms and there wasnt much in it??)
if i could find some centres in 5x100 then they are on the vr or if i find some in 4x100 then the g60  :cool: :cool: :cool: ,
the et wont let me use adaptors ,(especially as the rears are 9 1/2 inch wide  :evil:)

why would they be bigger?? they are not extending the internal diameter at all, just the external, so the studs are still the same pattern and you don't get more room just because the rims bigger.

I would of thought that the cover would be the same.

right im going to rephrase my question as im getting confugled,
the wheels i have are 3 piece bbs split rims (17 inch)
would the centre sections from 15" bbs rs fit these rims?
also what do you reckon my chances of getting 17" rims of that width on a mk2 g60? (8 1/2 fronts ,9 1/2 rear!)
or do i try and get jv to buy them for his rallye :wink:
