Styling Superlights on a sei

[Todger182]

I know it's been done but i've done a search and the result are good but still leaving me shady.

I'm looking at a set of SL 13x7 with stretched tyres blah blah blah..... EURO!!!

I've looked on the compomotive site and they can do them but i need to know if i'll need spacers (what size), and what other dimensions i need for the wheels themselves like the offsets.

Thanks

P.S: Oh and also are there wider steelies that will fit on my sei and what car are they off? (steelies are temp until i can afford the SL) Who knows if she looks good on steelies i might keep them on

You'll need spacers depending on the ET(see the HowTo/FAQ). With 7J you'll possibly need to extend the arches.

I'd question -- not in this order, necessarily:

The aesthetics of Euro -- why is it good to make tour car look like a 60s VW?
The legality and sense of stretched tyres -- check if your insurer will be happy for you to run tyres outside of the manufacturer's specs.
The wisdom of running lovely wheels for such a reason -- what a waste!

Are super lights not made by Benson and Hedges, rather than OZ?

Back to my second question, does anyone know of any wider steelies for a sei in 13" from another car (any make and model) that may possibly fit?

I can run to the scrappy then and have a ganda for some.

Pain again, sorry

Thanks

Just read a post on that mentioned some autograss weller steels with 7j and 98 PCD (some on fleabay at the mo) Any good?

I don't think you'll find any stock 13" steelies with more than 5.5 or maybe 6J. What on earth would use them?

Wellers might be an alternative. Banding would work, but needs to be done by someone who knows what they're doing and will be expensive. GOK what your insurance company will say.

Have you checked?

Nope it's something i still need to do, I have tomorrow off so I'll try and do it sometime in the morning before i start more work on the sei.

i'll keep an eye out the wellers however then if they will work. I'll have a rummage around the local Dead yards for mini's. (old mini's make me cry when they are place out of their "misery". Been brought up around them for years, mums one used to be a showcar)

Thanks
