Type R Dan's wheels are the original bronze :) the same colour as on the Torques you originally had. J

Mike, These are the same colour as the Torques you originally had, as I explained on the telephone, the lighting can make them look different shades of bronze/grey.. I think you opened them at the couriers, possibly under strip lighting or similar, which made them look more grey than you had...

On ebay I would say they will go for £350 - £400 They are pretty unusual being the full polished ones. Im suprised that G Man only got £200 for his boosts, we usually get good money for s/h Rota on ebay.

Are the Valves in your volks the standard size, or the 6mm type? I do the 6mm 'jap' valves.. They are £14 delivered for the four.

I would say £4.5k Cars have dropped a lot in the last few months

Wheels will be fine, no issues, tyre size however will probably cause rubbing issues.

245.40.17 wouldnt work without some camber , or a slight arch pull (rather than just a roll) with a et40+ I reckon it could be done J

RG2's :)

Well worth the money, although most places are now out of stock! - Not really worth buying part worn, as the tread depth makes a much larger difference than with 'standard' tyres. You also want fairly fresh ones (not years old)

I was referring to these needing a roll the 17x8 et48 will NOT need a roll, 100% they will bolt straight on :) Et30 will need a roll Et35 you will be very close, but more than likely will require a roll does this help?

I would say highly likely to need an arch roll. J

Absolutely Dave, it just stiffens the sidewalls somewhat, with a soft walled tyre, in my opinion its beneficial, as you dont get the tyre rolling around on the rim.

Falken for example, allow a 225 on a 9.5" rim - you'll have no issues with a 235 on an 8.5" Without trying to start a war, how will having what appears to be a 225 on a 9.5" rim (as ive mentioned above, approved by Falken) make it handle like a POS? The only effect that is noticable from...

The width of the wheel doesnt make a noticable difference when it comes to rubbing, rubbing is down to two things, width of TYRE, and offset. A 17x9 et45 with a 225.45.17 will clear in my opinion, as easily as a 17x7.5 with an et45. The tyre Tread doesnt get any wider with wheel width, and...

Good guy Rob (the owner) works like a trooper Good prices, wont let you down J

My vote is AD08 as a fast road/occassional track tyre the down side of an R888/Ao48 is standing water, and the Ad08, whilst not offering the wet performance of an out and out 'wet' tyre (Eagle F1 etc) are a lot more usable that then R888 etc J

I'll give you a grand :xlol:

I have one of those they were made by a guy on honda-tech.com They were original made for the DC2, I know dixon had one originally, maybe he copied it?

Without getting too scientific, if baked too hot your wheels can be considerably weaker than they were beforehand. If baked at a reasonable temperature, there SHOULDNT be a problem.

Spoke size doesnt really come into it, and p1's arnt exactly thick spokes!!
