Home Page > ES#2143408 18" Style 628 - Set Of Four (18x8, 5x112, Et35, 66.6cb) Gunmetal / Machined Face - 628-1
I've been looking around for new catback exhaust. Would be nice with a little better song from the beauty.
Watch out for curbs, they are unforgiving on polished rims!
I have this set on mine and they are all knackered, plus two are buckled (from previous owner) so not sure about strength in pot holes etc compared to OEM.
OEM alloys undergo extensive testing, whereas aftermarkets are spewed out of molds in China.
Saying that I'm about to buy another set of aftermarkets! Lol

Went to view the wheels today it's not them it's the gloss finish ones gutted. Tyres hotline are saying they can't get them any more. And Ecs tunning don't ship to uk. Can anyone help with finding out who make them/ supply them?

Think I may have got the last set then Nally, sorry!
I put the wheels on over the weekend after giving them a coat of G Techniq C1, 2 coats of FK 1000p and a coat of Poorboys Wheel Sealant (yes, they bead like CRAZY
).
Came to putting them on and I realized there were no wheels nuts which I had totally forgot about. I checked the existing nuts and found that they would fit fine, so used them.
Upon fitting I also realized the centre bore did not match and the wheel and would require spigots to fit snug to the hub mount. I aligned the wheels and screwed the nuts in regardless. They drive fine as they are, but at around 60mph a little vibration can be felt which I believe is due to the space between the wheel and the hub mount. I've been told spigots should sort this out and make the wheels sit tighter. Maybe someone can confirm this?
Anyway, here are some pics (apologies for the iPhone quality and the dirty car):
Oh and before the "moon buggy" brigade come through, yes it is sitting high! I am looking to get some springs sorted shortly!
Look forward to hearing your thoughts and in particular any advice about the spigots!
