Thinking about buying a set of 17" tsw Hockenhiems or something similar for my series 1 do I can get myself some nice big AP racing brakes! Just not sure what they would look like or if they will fit the brakes?

Anyone got any pics or know if they will fit AP's

 

sorry cutch no s1 pic ,but heres a 17 inch hock with 330mm and ap 4 pots so should be similar for the s1 mate

 

dont really have any good pics of the side on

 

Gus - that looks sexual :clap :

 

Gus , Hocks allways look good, but on yours they are a bit more special looking

 

They suit the car very well.

 

not hocks but similar

 

one i used to own

 

I don't think they suit the s1 very well IMO

 

Whats wrong with the diamond cuts or multi spokes you have ? ?
as they both look sweet on your car

 

Are mad or blind or both??... lol

 

That looks sweet on those hocks , not so keen on the blue centre nuts though . Ive just bought some original Evos and was toying with the idea of doing the nuts blue again like they were when new !

 

I dont think they suit at all either

 

I've got 17" black Imola's, not sure wether to put them on mine or not hmmm

 

Neither, they look shit

 

Cutch your car looks perfect with the diamond cut 7 spokes mate

 

 

hocks are getting rinsed every other car has them now

 

Cutch you should be able to get AP330's behind your spokes , Wully had them behind his soft spokes but think they might need offset bells and brackets. I think a set of 17" Rondells would be perfect on your car.

 

I put them on a series one years ago and they looked crap,dont suit the car one bit,look too narrow and chavvy,although their not a wheel I liked much anyway.
I put 17" momo arrows on mine and it looked immense,but that was back in 1996/7 and they may not be so cool now,I loved them though!!!

 

Cheers mate, now i know they will fit them if i go with them,

really nice gus, your car was one i was thinking of when i had the idea.

I have been told that the AP brakes dont fit behind the diamond cut rs7's and the multi spokes are the same as the ones shifty used on his car (and the diamond cuts) i dont want people to think i am copying him so wouldnt mind getting something different.


Thanks mate, i think so too but want big brakes and cant get them in behind them
.
Gibbys convinced that we cant fit big brakes behind the diamond cuts mate, i am too, was hoping that someone on here might be able to prove me wrong but i put a thread up a while back and nobody knew of any that fit. Soft spokes are slightly different behind and they fit but daimonds dont. Yeah rondells are nice might look for a set of them!!!


oh and what size are the hocks in the pics above?

 

Mine are 8x17's

 

im not feeling them fella

told you go for 5x112 hub flanges and the worlds your oyster !!!!!

especially if your going for new brakes on the front , just have the bell drilled to suit

 

Gus yours look real good. They don't look like they are too big if you know what I mean.


Beefy I fkn love yours mate but I ain't copying anyone! Was looking for the hubs mate but can't find any.

 

Cutch if you want some to try I have some 4wd bells, brackets and Porsche Brembo calipers lying that your welcome to try.

 

yeah i would love too mate. would help out alot and hopefully answer a few questions!

 

Well im home from work on Tuesday so will look the parts out then and give you a shout. Im in Fife but could post them up or if your heading down to Allys meet you somewhere.

 

I am offshore for another 3 weeks mate so there's no rush, that's really nice of you to do that!

 

Cutch I have 2 sets of 17" hocks your welcome to borrow one,try a mock up with Neils brake kit if you want bud

 

I may take you up on that offer Russell, would like to try and keep the rs7's with big brakes but I might as well see what it will look like with everything on together eh, cheers mate
