Shipping to the Pacific

That's who I orignally mentioned. I have never done ocean transport with them. but will call them for estimates once I know more about how many people in Australia actually want sets.

If a pallet were shipped they would all have to go to one location. I will NOT ship these wheels to a single member unless that single member makes payment on behalf of all the other members. Meaning someone would have to organize a mini groupbuy for Australian members, collect funds, send payment to me, and then distribute the wheels among the buyers once they arrive. This method would also make it easier to lower stated values of the shipment ;)

Hi Eddy

I was mentionned by a customer in Singapore that this company can ship individual small pallets (like 4 rims) and charge the customer for shipping when parts are delivered.

I'll have to double check. I seem to remember ET27 being the magic number, but there was some room for a couple mm in both directions.

235/50-15 R888s fit. an 8" wheel should be no problem. :p

I think that I have some room on the strut side maybe et33 might be okay also. I'll take some pics here at the end of the week. Those coils help a lot I'm sure

the offset will not be anywhere in the 30's. it will be 25mm +/- a maximum of 3mm to be determined.

et25 is the offset used on e30 fitment by German manufacturers such as Ronal, Alpina, Schnitzer and Hartge. They must know something about wheel fitment.

And I was replying to Eddy.

Owners of iXs can get wheels made for earlier VWs MK2 and 3 with higher offset and correct center bore.

et28 would be about as good as it could get for us if its et25+/-3

added bmwlover0725 to the list.

Is an et25 going to clear the strut? Here is a picture of my 16x8 et20 wheels with a 205/50/16 tire.

Eddy, currently we have 16 wheels Australia bound, 2 lots of 4x100 and 2 lots of 5x120

thats providing the 4x100 comes to life

[PaintPro21]

will look into that further. I do believe that the strut tube is not 100% parallel with the hub, and so a 17" wheel will be further away. This is why I am not set on the offset yet.

They would ship separately though. as the 5x120's will be here shortly.
