loving the centre caps

[the gits]

Fronts are 5kg rears are 6.5kg and they are very cool....

[Smiler]

stop it!.... must resist!!!.... selling the centre caps seperate Graham ?

[chris]

Rear rim is 1,7 kg lighter than OZ superlegera ! Are fixing bolts same as OEM rim ? What is your delivery time ?

[Smiler]

Pretty sure they just go straight on a vx.. There in stock.. s

[chris]

Could you confirm they are confirmed for road use ?

[the gits]

They are perfectly OK for road use IN THE UK. In Germany all wheels need to be TUV approved etc etc. The are a magnesium alloy, so will not like being scratched and left bare. So they need looking after. They are stronger than the VXR alloys, but these wheels are not for those who usauall park by ear (ie waiting for the noise of the wheel graunching along the kerb) If I was using them on a road car I would keep my standard ones for the winter, and get the Speedline wheels with the A048's fitted and use the Speedlines for summer and track days. Alternatively, if you are planning to race a vx, then these are the only wheels to have!

So what is the procedure if you do scrape/scratch them ? is their some kind of varnish to apply ? (not talking about big hits obviously, which I guess would warrant a replacement ?)

And any clarification on them catching fire would be good! In what scenario might this happen and will it destroy them? Also could we have the normal speedline centre caps from the original VXR speedlines?

Don't worry mate, you have to be driving really fast for this to happen!

Well if I get these and lose 20Kg's from dieting that will be enough to be able to go really fast

[Jim_Cross]

From my memories of setting fire to magnesium at school, if they do catch fire, you'll have the brightest VX ever seen

[Tolksee]

...but you'd probably be immediately surrounded by da Saxo crew asking where 2 get dem bling weels.....

[waverunner]

Saw these wheels when I was at Plans yesterday. They are the doggies whatsits but the incredible thing is the weight, or rather the lack of. Never realised wheels could be so light

[i need nos]

id probably have a set by now if they werent so expencive, its putting me off the idea, i went to my local wheel specialist, a&s wheels in chigwell and they can find alloys for around 600 a set to vx fitment some of which are 16 fronts, now i guess around 900 quid with tyres for the lot is pretty damn good, ok there not going to be superlight but looks is what i more concerned about.. if only they werent 2 grand! dam it ive frustrated myself..

[JG]

ok they're not going to be superlight but looks is what i'm more concerned about.. If only they weren't 2 grand! dam it, ive frustrated myself..

sell the vx
