Great find, hopefully this comes off

Quick and nasty photo chop to give an idea of the look in silver. I've made the front wheels slightly smaller than the rears to get nearer the 16" sizes.

Just had an email back, The centre bore is the exact size but there are no centre caps. To sum up; 1. Correct offsets, so no spacers needed (and AP 4 pots will fit) 2. Correct PCD, no wobbly bolts 3. Correct centre bore, no spigots. 4. Lighter than stock rims 5. exact same fitment as VXR sppedlines. 6. Any colour you want at a small extra cost 7. A bargain of a price at £475 for the set

Ok mate out me down for a black set please.

PS - I just noticed that there is a bit of fanny in that black car

haha....yeh, i suppose thats a good point. I'm actually wondering what the gold wheels on black car would look like aswell. does anyone know a webite where you can choose your car & fit any wheel & colour to see what it look like?

Have you asked them if they have any other wheel option (lighter too) with these sizes and PCD ?

The "Day A" model looks like their lightest offering but our correct sizes are not listed... maybe they do exist

Just wheels. Not sure if they do tyres also.

[Guy182]

C&S tyres in middlesboro for r888's, £450 for full set i think or £425

[MOz]

Do you have the guy's details available. I'd like to order a black set for my car. Can someone summarise the exact fitment measurements we require for the VXT please as I have no idea wot PCD, offset, centre bore etc etc means..... Thanks MOz

[SteveA]

The guys name is Alan you can contact him on sales@advancedautosport.com.

The specs are as follows

Front wheels 7 x 16 ET23, 110 5 stud PCD and 65.1 centre bore.
Rear wheels 8 x 17 ET30, 110 5 stud PCD and 65.1 centre bore.


A quick guide for those who don't know.

7 x 16 refers to the diamater of the wheel (16") and the width of the wheel (7")

ET23 refers to the wheel offset (23mm). This is the distance from the centre of the wheel to the bolting plate.



PCD is the pitch circle diameter (110mm required on VX's)

and the centre bore is the hole that will allow the hub to fit through to get a correct fit.

Hope this helps

Cheers

Steve

cheers for that info steve. who has these wheels on their vx at the moment? can anyone post up photos of them on the car or links to photos. i'm really tempted by the ones shown in the photoshopped picture above, but would like to see an actual photo of them on a car. Cheers Ro

[SteveA]

I think Noble has a set of black ones on order. Im buying a set when I get back from my hols (in about 5 weeks)

[NOBLE]

I could not get hold of the guy last week and have not tried this week as im away on holiday on saturday. a set will be ordered when i get back and have the time. they are nice looking wheels.. specially in the black - Noble

[roy]

yes....i agree, they are good looking wheels!! Can anyone with photoshop abilities be able to do me a favour & post a picture (same as the above photoshopped picture) but with the wheels in gold on the black vx? Cheers Roy

[SteveA]

I've done a one on the same car with the gold wheels. Will post it up tonight if I get time.
