On the hunt for a set of diamond cut 17" rs wheels and just wondered if there's any variations to look out for as I'll need them for a 4x4 sapphire.

Part numbers

offsets

widths

cheers

there shouldnt be any variations other than size.

Be careful as they are a verty soft wheel - i loved mine but had to get rid as everytime you hit a pothole the wheel is dented

i might have some center caps for them - so if you find a set youre welcome to them

Had these wheels on mine for many years, they look great on Sapphires.

I think it was yours that popped up on Google images that made me think "look good"

I didn't really thunk I'd want to change the shark tooths but I fancy a change

Thanks mate.
Pic is in my avatar of when they were fitted

i loved the look on mine too but sadly they had to go as too soft and dont clear bigger brakes

Has anybody fitted the 16" version.....seen a few sets floating about for sale.

I fitted some "16 diamond cuts under my first Sapphire Cosworth. Looks ok.

Only thing i had to do was put some spacers between the front wheels. To make some space for the breaks. 2wd Sapphire.

I think there's still a picture of it in my profile/my pictures.

4x4 they should go straight on, I had to use a 3mm spacer on the front of my 2wd to clear the 4 pots (just!!!!)

Anybody know of any 17" available for sale??

can only find 3yr old adverts.

qed296

Any arch mods needed for these??

R4N SS

iTrader: (6)

no arch mods needed mate - go straight on

qed296

Nice, even better.

qed296

Boom!! I'm now in receipt of these.....just need to sort the caps as nowhere will do them.

Nice! Show some pictures when you put them on mate.

qed296

Will do, won't be anytime soon though. Road salt/grit are not friends to this finish.

Be summer next year now.

looking good mate

qed296

Cheers, just trying to sort these now...

Any ideas on someone anyone making replacement gel centre badges??

Look nice, curious how they will look when mounted!
Now I don't mean to hijack the thread, but what dimension are these anyways? I tried fitting some 7.5x17 ET38 (I think) yesterday that supposedly are off some Mondeo or maybe ScorpioII, and they hit my coil spring perches on the front even when the car was still up on the lift? could barely mount the lug bolts, wheel barely rotated by hand at all - blocked.. stock struts on a '91 2.0i 2wd Ghia.

qed296

Typical...now I've got these sorted a set of bbs splits I'd been chasing have appeared in my garage...

O what to do??

R4N SS

iTrader: (6)

ha ha - i may be selling a set of BBS splits soon too

qed296

Well I've changed my mind now....7 spokes are going....after all that and getting them on for a test fit I'm not that happy...looked at loads of pics before hand but hadn't seen any on in the flesh (my colour car).

Anybody interested??

love these wheels - one of the best wheels for the car pity they are soft as shite and dont cover big brakes
