B.RAD Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 Beauty! Those wheels might struggle on a 165 trailer, have they got some standard steelies or standard 7" alloys they can chuck on to transport it? Mk2 5 spoke alloys are good and light! Quote

BenD Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 I have a friend with a bigger trailer who has kindly been roped in to picking it up with ne Quote
BenD Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 @BCF this 5 spoke wheels are the 15s? Do you know what offset they are. Quote
B.RAD Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 It's these ones mate. No idea on offset, I'm sure it'll be online somewhere though! Edit to add - just had a quick Google and the common mk2 standard alloy offset is et40 1 Quote
Dommo Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 I've got a set of hollowspoke 14s if you fancy... 185 section tyres for the win :D 1 Quote
B.RAD Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 You can get cheap road tyres for 14" rims, we got some UniRoyal RainSport for our 14" steelies for peanuts. Less of an option on semi-slicks though. @Ben (bunje) I've got some used semi-slicks in 15" you can have for a tenner a tyre if you like? They're close to the wear bars but will happily do a few trackdays and you can't beat £40 all round! Quote
