peterrosey Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 This may sound like a mad one... but I'm struggling to find a set of alloys for my Megabusa build. I'm after a set of modern five-spokes in 7x13 ET24 Ford 4-stud 108mmPCD. Preferably in black - but I'll get 'em painted if not - and made by a reputable motorsport type firm. Ideally they need to be around £400 per set (ie not split rims and not magnesium). And yes I've checked Demon Tweeks (road & motorsport), Compomotive, Image wheels, Midland Wheel Supplies etc. The choice is either £250 a corner split-rims or magnesium Dymags at around £300 a corner (ouch!, or Revolution five-spokes which look a bit dated. As I'm going to use the car for track days etc it seems mad to spend £1000 on wheels and them hammer them over the kerbs... I've been offered minilite-style wheels everywhere, but not motorsport-type five-spokes. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Billsberry Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 Hi Pete You won't get motorsport sec wheels for a £100 a corner. Brand new Motorsport wheels are built 4 lightness and strength so U CAN batter them over kerbs,thro' rally stages etc... thats why they are normally £250plus a set (mags) Have a look in Motorsport News u might be able 2 pick up a second hand set... might struggle getting the off sets tho'. Otherwise u'll have 2 struggle with standard alloys which are well upto the job as they are designed 4 1200Kg + road cars...... so on 500kg+ skate board they should be well upto the job............ Hope this helps Buzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chazpowerslide Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 Try Damien at Tweaks, he did 7x15 Compomotive MO in anthracite (special oder) with Toyo T1s for £725 inc vat and carrage for 5. His direct dial is 01978663079. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
