Hi guys,
Does any of you know whether it's possible to use 4,5" 4-lug Ansens with orig. VW disc-brakes in front?
Thanks...
Jordy

I really like Ansens jordy, nice choice. Was an alternative for me, have you found the wheels yet? I've seen an ad 2 months ago in case you're interested, i know the guy.
I think i have read that it might give difficulties, but perhaps anyone knows for sure?
On the other hand, i've never seen 4.5 Ansens, thought they were 5 or 5.5...

It's the ad from markplaats.nl , but I already have my Fat Lip Riviera's.. I was just looking for rims which can be used with disc brakes... Since disk-brakes are a "must" with a more powerful engine... SAFETY FIRST...  A powerfull car without brakes is like a plane without a landing gear... |

Did he also have disc-brakes?

Yes, discs on the front and type 3 brakes in the rear. Soon to have 4 wheel discs and 5.5" and deep 6 fuchs.

Yes, they cleared the brakes just fine. And I have to say polished is the only way to go!

Fortunately we differ in opinion. Otherwise we'd all drive the same cars... I'm not such a fan of *bling bling*... I don't like fully polished Fuchs or EMPIs either... Plus I'm not a star when it comes to taking care of the 'shine'. Can't even take proper care of myself... lol..  |

So are you going to sell your Riviera's and buy Ansen No not yet... But I think they're quite nice... And if they're suitable for use with disc-brakes, it would be a nice follow-up for the fat lip Formula Vee rims.. I don't think I'm gonna sell the FVee rims since they're quite a rare sight on this side of the Atlantic... But when I'm gonna use disc brakes I'll have to... That's gonna take a while though cause things are moving slowly... |
