Hmm depends where you buy from, on dubmeister the platin p16/rhcuprad/brock b2's are all roughly the same price depending on the offset depends on which set will actually fit the car. altho the platins are really rh cuprad alloys in different offsets.

the wheels really finish the car off, with the old wheels on it looked a tad wierd with that kit on, now it looks the mutts nutts though!
great job!!!

Got one comment besides they look great Dazz, the offset looks big to me. That will cause a lot of stress on the front wheel bearings and tend to cause bump steer and tram lining.

Thats a visual illusion cos the ofset is actually et50 and ive got 20mm spacers on there so the offset is increased to et30, which from what i belive is correct for a fiat, ???
Oh yeah and they actually drive real nice, no tramlining at all, they actually better than the Alfa wheels for stability....

Not keen on spacers. What material are the spacers made from? alloy or steel? Alloy ones can break, i would use steel every time, and i know on the track, alloy ones are a no no.

im not too keen on them either but when needs must.... im keeping a regular eye on them and inspecting them on my lunch breaks at work just to make sure all ok... yep these are alloy ones....... One question surely if alloy ones break like you say why are they still allowed to be sold?? surely they should be tested and meet ISO regulations...??

Well to be trueful, the alloy ones only cause trouble on the track when you are at 10/10ths through the corners. They should be fine on the road. But for me, i want peace of mind as i do tend to drive a bit enthusiastically especially on familar roads. I suppose they must pass some test, but all the racers i know use steel and this applies to their cars too. The people at Demom Tweeks can tell you all about them. Its a strength thing at end of day. Mind you, some special alloys are very very strong, which you pay for!! Oh another thing, some spacers have many holes in them. Again not keen on this type.

[dazzo666]

i KNOW WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM AND YES SAFETY IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR, IVE USED THESE SPACERS BEFORE IN THE PAST AND HAD NO PROBS ,HOPEFULLY I WILL NOT BE LET DOWN BY THEM ON GEORGE,
I DONT TEND TO DRIVE ERRATIC NOWADAYS SO THEY SHOULD BE OK.. FINGERS CROSSED...

THE MATERIAL FOR MY INTERIOR ARRIVED TODAY AND ITS A REALLY GOOD MATCH TO THE PAINT WORK, ALSO SEWING MACHINE IS ON ITS WAY SHOULD GET THAT TOMMOROW!!

Dazzo.

Good clean design. Was hoping you would take the strips off ! I think it looks alot more purposeful without. Take the other one off !!!

 

[dazzo666]

Nice clean lines, thort it would be an over kill of green, but no it goes well without them, (goes faster too!)
