im almost certainly getting tsw 15's for my sei but i like both the spirit and razor's

razors are 6" wide
spirits are 7"

will 7" be to wide? just make to heavy streeing and never want to turn?


what do you all thing?
thanks

I understand that the most for a Cinq. is 6.5" so 7" might be a bit too wide, and will (I reckon) make steering heavy. I dont know about the Sei though, but I would imagine that its the same.

Do TSW make a 6" x 15"? that seem really strange, as i can't find 6.5" x 15"!

6.5" is pushing it, 7" you'll probably have problems as the offset will need to be something stupid like 20mm to accomidate for the extra 1/2", not gospel tho!

Try phoning R-Tec or Extreme in Harlow to see what they say.

ok so i bought some 6.5" wide alloys
got them cheap!!!

offset is 35 so do i need 6mm spacers or even more cos of the width of the alloy?
hoping to fit them tonight so would be grateful for a quick response

6mm might be enough.

I would certainly try it before you use bigger spacers. Most places will take the spacers back if they're not thick enough, but check first. Using spacers is bad enough, but big spacers are even worse.

Bear in mind that if the spacers are quite big, you'll need extended bolts.

Is the PCD 98? if its 100, you'll need wobbly bolts, and with large spacers you'll need long extended wobbly bolts.

The bolts and spacers are going to add to the cost of your wheels, make sure that they dont turn your cheap alloys into expensive alloys.
 
i need some new wheel bolts to go on my alloys. with a 6mm spacer on the back will standard fiat bolts be long enuff

also are the fiat wheel bolts for alloys different to the wheel bolts for steelies as my steelie bolt dont seem right in the alloys

thanks

ok i bought me spacers, had to get the stupid 9.5mm ones but i can get them taken down on the lathe at work no problem

went to the tsw dealer in grimsby today and he told me there was no point in him selling me bolts as no tsw alloys fit a seicento i tried argueing and pointing out that i have already had them on but he wouldnt admit he was wrong
then he started saying fiat use about 12 different threads and he doesnt know what i would need

any idea were i can order some from? really wanna have them sorted by the weekend!!
 
Yes Demon Tweeks are great for that sort of stuff.. plus they keep everything on file so if for some daft reason you need to order the same again a year down the line, they can just check back on your records!!

fABULOUS, fEMALE aND tOTALLY fLIPPED
 
how much did you pay for your alloys and how did u manage to get 9s PCD Tsw whells as i have been told these do not exist and that the only AFTERMARKET wheels i can fit are Mile Miglia Spiders on my cinquecento
