que pics of Marco's car

 

 

 

Another to help you, looked such a shed back then. Can't wait till its all finished

 

Cheers fellas
Got some white ones coming Friday
Are those 17's or 18's Lee?

 

good man spadge, i take it you brought spiky's ones? the newer shaped ones?

best wheels for a 3dr IMO.

 

Yes mate
Have been comparing them with the ones above and can't see a lot of difference to be honest

 

spokes are pretty equal width from centre to rim on the new style.

older shape RL7's have tappered spokes, think thats the only difference mate

 

God I love those rims!!

 

17's spadgeroo.. VERY sort after wheels. Everyone is always trying to buy mine. Worth £600 I reckon at least and I know you would have never paid that for em so Well done

 

Keep those Escos as well for Slicks for track use!!!

 

Did it used to have midland down the side instead of reyland?



G

 

here are mine the night i got them, if this is any help?!

 

pete i want ,i want ,i want

top wheels guy's

 

I've got a friend with 6 RL7's 2 brand new still in box the other 4 only done 500 miles on with Bridgestone expedia rubber 17in

But they are drilled for Rover fitment can they be re-drilled for Ford say between original holes (to make them say multi fitment)

If so maybe they could be of some use to somebody if they can - please let me know

 

i may know someone that might be interested in them as rover fitment

 

Will try and get some pics tomorrow

 

Lol you saying i am a cheap skate Lee
I did actually agree to pay a little more than that actually

 

Glad you got some sorted Spadge they are the best rims around thats why I've started my collection of them

 

well done spadge great choice

anyone else selling a set at all??

 

Cheers guys
Will get some pics up at the weekend

 

just sold a set of 18inch .cheers nomad

 

i should have kept my 18's instead of give them to the RL7 man, and we all know who that is.

But its all good i'll have them back soon enough

 

Has anybody any ideas about re-drilling into multifitment as they are drilled for Rover

Theres 6 in total 2 still in boxes all are brand new with Bridgestone tyres

 

White RL7's on Black 3dr's are HARD

 

id modify the hubs on the car not the wheels.

 

Ford PCD = 4 x 108 with an offset of 35...38

Rover PCD (assuming 200, 400, 25 or 45 model) = 4 x 100 ~ 35...38

You would need to move each hole out by 4mm. There don't look enough room.

Better to try and sell them as Astra Mk 3, Calibra, Cavalier or Vectra wheels as they also have a PCD of 4 x 100 and offsets as 35...42

 

you can get special bolts cant you that have 'floating' collars the are tuv approved that allow fitment of wheels that are 2 or 3 mm greater offset than the hub.

 

I didn't know that, any more details? where to buy them?

 

all I can find on them is this
http://www.leightyres.co.uk/help.htm

read near the bottom about FIAT wheels. I know SW autodesign sell them as thats where I first heard of them. AFAIK they take up about 2mm in pcd.

 

Thanks, interesting that

 

They wont fit on a cavalier (just tried) but will fit onto a rover 200 series
