weslangdon Posted August 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 I ask because they look like a enlarged 14" Lupo ally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Some have reported that they fit tightly, others that they needed to reem them out with a flapper wheel; go carefully though, it's only .5mm you need gone.I always thought they would suit the Lupo. Thewy are like a cross between Lupo Sport and SEAT Arosa Alloys.You will need to fit different badges though. Do those pop off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Some use a router with a suitable bit to to this. you need the right bearing on the end of the straight cutting bit to give the correct cut of 0.5mm and if you have little practical skills then i would advise you pay a machine shop to to do it instead. You want the wheels hub centric so it needs to be done carefully and quite accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 My mistake, i thought it was 1mm difference, it's not it's 0.5mm, (56.6mm vs 57.1mm) so it would be 1/2 that or 0.25mm if using a router. As it is such a small difference you could just try them and see how tight they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, if they don't fit, taking it to a shop and having it done properly would be important imo. You'll end up with them not sitting right otherwise.

Silver! Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 You could always bore to a size larger and use spigot rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people say the central bore is only there to line it up and others say it's a load bearing part and it needs to be spot on. I personally don't agree as most spigot rings are plastic but it depends on what you believe. I personally think the nuts or lugs take the weight therefore bore it with something and stick a spigot in as silver says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
