Hi Guys.
I've just bought some 4 of these wheels

They are the same stye as the standard 13" just in 14"

Just out of interest any idea what they were fitted too from standard? Also any idea what there worth?
 
They also weigh a shed load. If you have a standard 1108 you'll find the extra rotating mass will kill your acceleration and your car won't feel anywhere near as "nippy".
 
The original style Cinq wheels are not that heavy design are they? I would have thought the extra diameter wouldn't make that much difference.

I have some of the revolution rfx 13" wheels and they ARE heavy!
 
Got them for a bargain price with 4 good tyres so I'm happy. I don't think they will drastically reduce the 'nippyness' and I think they will make the car look better.
If not or I just don't like them they will go on ebay.
 
yup, tempra is the only car they came on. They only come up rarely. Some people know how rare they are and want lots and others just see them as some old fiat wheels they have lying about and sell for like 60 quid. They do look awesome on a cinq (y)

iirc Lee got his for not much, my dad picked them up and delivered them due to fortunatis of them being right near my dad house and him going to right near Lees house when they were for sale. Lee has clearly put many many hours into polishing them though so he is allowed to ask for more lol.

These arrived today. In amazing condition so just a quick wash, bit of a light T-cut and then a polish then have a go at fitting them to see if I need spacers/bolts

The guy I bought them off said he was running a standard suspension set up and didn't need any spacers and they didn't hit or rub anything??

To be fair there's no marks on the tyres so fingers crossed.

So anyway.....

Trial fit proved conclusive dispite what I was told by the seller. Rears rubbing on trailing arm and fronts fouling on track rod ends.

To get them to fit i need to buy 10-16mm spacers and extended bolts.
Might just stick with the Speedlines. Shame
 
love the tempra wheels! but also love the speedlines. the speedlines in 13 are pretty damn rare as well.
If it were me I'd just keep both sets, spacers are not hugely expensive afterall.
No space to keep them I've already got a set of standard 13" Sporting wheels stored in the roof of my garage as that was the last bit of space I had!
Not sure what to do with them now, don't have the £40 for spacers and extended bolts to fit the Tempra. Could see if the missus discovers them under the bed I guess. ?
 
Hey jay. Whered you find spacers for £40??? Sounds good value!

I thought the cheapest steel hubcentric spacers were about 60 for a pair.

Hey mate henseyseries3 put me on to some kits on ebay they included only 2 spacers but came with the extended bolts.
