DanSV Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 so basically i really don't like my wheels!They came with the car and at first I thought I could live with them but really starting to bug me all the time now, hate the fact they need ridiculous spacers lol.Thinking of going for a set of G60 steels, nice and simple. Any opinions or other ideas would be most welcomehere is how it is at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 What spacers are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Revolution 5 spokes. Nice classic wheel. I would spend the time to get them fitting right, rather than opt for G60 steels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Not if you don't like them lol Any ideas on what style of wheel you do like Dan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiea7x Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 some smaller tyres on those wheels would look ten times better, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanSV Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 thanks for all the suggestions guys, appreciate it with regards to the spacers, I aren't 100% sure what they are, I know they're not hub centric though. Only need them to clear the calipers. Should really have measured them when i had them off the other day.Any suggestions on how to fit them better? May have a rethink if i can get them sorted, also what size tyres would be best suited, am due to replace them in the near future so may as well do it right!

Pete91 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 If they're non hubcentric I wouldn't bother getting them machined cos you can pick them up proper cheap. Roughly how big do you think they are? Anything bigger than 5mm and aren't hub centric is a ballsy affair!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanSV Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 well if I had to hazard a guess I would have to say they must be an inch wide (25mm??) they seem mahoosive. Would smaller spacers do the job??If I can get them to fit a little better I may keep them and get them tidied up a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 I hope you're using extended bolts with them spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete91 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Surely they're hub centric? If not then that is proper mental haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanSV Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 pretty sure they're not hub centric.It is a bit crazy tbh, at least I can say it wasn't my decision to fit them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 What's the sizes including et on the wheels? You'll get some better advice if you put all the figures up.They look like 14s, so it's a bit strange they are fouling the calipers, but maybe the backs are the wrong shape for the Lupo. You can shave some metal off your caliper if it's just a touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanSV Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 they are 15's btwi'll have to find out the et and other figures when i get a chance.they do catch on the calipers fairly badly so it will need spacers I would have thought.

DanSV Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 just out of interest, does anyone know how much the wheels would be worth?They could do with a refurb ideally, although they do come up ok after a good clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
