Alloy advise

[JMG]

I am interested in buying these alloys. (See link below). The width are only 6.5. What are your thoughts Pepps?

Not sure what input you are after, style, fit etc?

I prefer these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-x-Team-Dynamics-Pro-Race-1-2-Gloss-Black-Alloy-Wheels-7-x15-ET35-4x100-PCD-/141755785899?hash=item21014da2ab

I'm not a fan of mutifit wheels as the extra stud holes make them look cheap.

Cheers for link Sauage. I have been told I can go 8 width is this true? Or do I go small? I want to avoid having to mod the arches.

[Sausage]

Wheel / tyre fit depends on offset and tyre choice among other things.

I doubt you will get 8 inch wide under the arches without mods tbh, but i havent tried it. maybe if you are running silly amounts of stretch on the tyres.

is your car lowered? How much?

it might look shite with nice wheels if it isnt lowered already....

I didn't notice the set of wheels I pointed out were multi fitment so thanks for pointing that out as I didn't want that.

Can u say what et/ offset I can go to ? I don't want to modify the arches, this I my first Lupo so still learning

I no I can have 15" alloys and that standard width is 6" and just wondering what the standard et is and what I can get away with..

I haven't lowered the Lupo yet but will be I'm thinking 40mm lowering springs, don't want the Lupo totally slammed but dose need to be dropped from the standard height.

make sure you understand what offset is and how it is measured, before buying.

your best bet is to lower the car 1st and see what your standard wheels look like and how much room you have under the arches.

Hi sausage, in the link above is it Basicly saying the most u can go without modifying arches is et35, I no JMG and I no he don't wanna start rolling the arches or be messing with stretched tyres.... Do u happen to no what et / offset standard the alloys are ?

Basicly I no he wants a 4x100 obviously and he wants slightly bigger alloys in 15's what offset and width would he need to keep things standard / no rolling etc ..

Cheers

I have two lupos at the mo and they are both on 6x14s et 40 with 185/55/14 tyres so I'm not the man to ask as i am still a lupo noob. I am looking for wheels for my TDI too having missed out on two sets of cheap OZ superleggeras over the last few weeks.

My TDI is lowered probably 60mm and i dont really think I'll get much else under the front arch without rolling the lip tbh, 7s will probably go with the same tyre width, but having your tyres cut into by the arch isnt fun.

As long as the offset is high enough it should be ok, but as said I have not fitted anything to mine yet so cant confirm. You can read the threads of other peoples cars and see what they have to get an idea though.
