Look good B) They should be fine with the 4-pots providing you get the right offset, the spokes seem further out than the TD's I got Compomotive to double check with AP before ordering mine, so always best to ask the question to the manufacturer thumbsup

Update. Got some info back from the company. The 7 x 16 ET26 & 8 x 17 ET35 combo will be £477.22 including VAT for the set. White and Gold are non cost options but I am told there is a choice of colours available at £23 per wheel. They are in the correct 110 5 stud PCD If we can get 10 sets on order he has promised a 5% discount (£453.36 std colour, £545.36 choice of colour ) Delivery within the UK is £14.50 a set. I need the size of the hub centres before we will know about spigots. Looking good so far tho

65mm I believe. Same as all other 5 stud vauxhalls, some of which we share hubs and brake discs with.

Shame they don't do Silver as one of the standard colours, but looking good otherwise.

Good work so far (though can't believe silver isn't a standard colour) thumbsup

I think the centre bore was 65mm which I picked up when looking at spacers the other day. I'll have a look and see if I can find the info again.

Just checked the Eibach spacer lists and they say 65mm - does that make sense?

I will call them tomorrow to ask about

1) Prices with ET26 Fronts & ET35 Rears

2) Colour availability

3) Spigot Rings

4) Discounts for large orders.

5) Lead time and delivery costs.


Are those standard ET figures? If the wheels are wider then that is fine, but ideally i'd want a wider stance so a lower ET...

Thats 7 x 16" ET26 and 8 x 17" ET35 The offsets can be chaged to whatever works best at no extra cost. The wheels are tarmac rally wheels so are made in white as std (like compomotives) The gold were done for Sccobys i believe.

Deffo r888's, will have to look into sizes etc. Probs 195/50/16 (£92 each) for front and 225/45/17 (£145 each) on rear. Looking at the sizes of the VXR we might have to spec ET23 on the fronts and ET30 on the rear to deal with the wider rims.

No word from the guy about hub centres yet. I think a group buy would be a bit of a waste as it's only 5% and they will only deliver them to 1 location. So the £25 we would save would be spent posting them to different locations around the UK. When I get an answer on the hub centre sizes I will post the guys contact details and deal info so anyone can order a set.
