    I run K1's on 225/50.....15....RA 1's.....real closeto strutube.

    hey rwh.....I use anti sieze on hub...helps a bit w/ getting rings off.

    check out my tight thread (created in search of wheels that were direct fit since my Koseis centering ring likes to stick on my hub... rusty old bastard.)

    15x6.5" ET33. Work without spacers, hubcentric, but too close to the strut to run 225's.
    but unforunately not sure if an ultra wide 205 like an r comp or an Azenis would work

    I'm trying to buy the six and use them as daily driving wheels with 205's. No really reason for 225s unless going for the new RS-2s and Auto-X (and enjoy that cost!), and I'm just going to use Hoo-Hoos on baskets for that hopefully, so its all good.

    If you don't want the limited selection of 205-60-14 on a set of basketweaves, it makes sense. Or just hold out for a set of 15x7 with an offset of ET27 to ET23 to fit 225s. If you want to run Toyo RA-1s eventually for SpecE30, baskets will work on a budget build with take-offs, or full meat on 15x7... anything from et30 to et17 should work. I never put R comps on my Koseis but 2002maniac has 225 Ziexs on his

    there's a lot of others there too. i'm passing on the 6" ones, hoping for 7inchers, but definitely would rock 6.5" if I was wanting to run more 205-50-15
    without spacers ?

    and besides the "e-ballers" on clean slammed show cars and RS's, they are cheaper/poorer than us so you can get some sick deals.


    15"x6.5" ET33 4x100 Factory corrado G60 wheels complete with mint center caps. Minimum curbrash, and a couple bends on the inside lip on 1 wheel but all hold air and drive fine. Located in toronto/brampton/hamilton area.
    Asking $450 CDN for the wheels without tires. [$400 USD]



    15x6.5 et33 is okay to run with 205s on E30s, same width as basketweaves, just you have a bigger wheels for better looks (and more $ tires, but much much easier to get good 205). I'd rock out those with undersized 205-50-15 cheap sticky tires and they would look bigger and a little better acceleration

    http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2672756 - a set of 6 corrado rz wheels. if we buy both, we can both have a set of 5 direct fit BBS RZ's

    VWVortex has nice selection of 4x100, 57.1 centerbore wheels. some offsets are high, but some are okay, just with narrow wheels.

    i was frustrated trying to find euro weaves, so i looked otherwhere for other wheels

    ill need a 5-10 mm spacer correct ?
    also is it safer to go with a stud kit or just longer bolts ?
    15 or 20mm would be preferable. You could run 10mm though, it'd just sit inside the fenders a lot.

    Studs are nice because its almost impossible to line the wheel + the spacer up to the bolt holes and stick the bolts through.

    38 is wayyyy too high. no one makes 5 or 10mm hubcentric spacers, but the good thing is that a 15mm H&R puts you are ET23 which is good for a 7inch rim.

    studs make the job a lot easier. try lining up a wheels and spacer then getting a bolt in. fuuunnnn. you'd need long ones since most medium ones can only fit a 12mm spacer.

    too bad a set of 15mm spacers will cost you about $180-200

    Mine are bigger than that and have the Hyper Black finish rather than whatever that is. The lip on mine is the same as in the picture I showed, which is the hyper black finish as well. They look quite a bit different and really alot better...if I can find my camera I will get pictures of them on my car.

    There is also another wheel made by TSW that fits these cars I believe...the Catalunya I think? This one...again in a hyper black finish.
