Title: New wheels Post by: Fastbrit on January 29, 2008, 13:17:10 pm JG Torkers – I like 'em (and I like the colour against the blue...). Offset is perfect at front (with stock-width beam) but am using 8mm spacers at rear with short axles/adjustable spring-plates.
Weigh fifty times more than the race-weight Ercos, but just fine for the street! :) Tyres are 145 and 205/70s Rear sitting a little high at rear (positive camber) as had just backed it down slope from garage.

Title: Re: New wheels Post by: qubek on January 29, 2008, 14:05:34 pm Non German wheel which has a good offset for a stock width beam? Now this is great! ;)
What is the rim width? 5 in? 5,5? Do you know the ET? As for the looks, I alway liked those wheels and indeed they fit really well on this car. Title: Re: New wheels Post by: louisb on January 29, 2008, 14:44:45 pm Nice! When does the berg 5 go in? ;D

Title: Re: New wheels Post by: alex d on January 30, 2008, 09:32:13 am looks good, but to me it seems like it would look even better if the spokes were a lighter colour (at least in that picture), oh, and are you keeping the chrome trim or are you planning to dechrome it and turn it in a proper looker? just kidding ;D
Title: Re: New wheels Post by: Fastbrit on January 30, 2008, 11:30:29 am At present I like the contrast of the darker spokes with the paint, but I'll see how I feel in a month or three's time. As for dechroming... You pay for the body and paint and I'll do it. Deal? ;D
