[AndrewBird]

Euroweaves are 15", normal weaves are 14".

no, IX weaves are also 15".. check the offset before you buy it.

I believe you will need adapters.. just try find a set of euroweaves.

[Trptguy]

too bad....found these for $150.

You don't need adapters, just spacers. 15 to 20 mm spacer all around iX weaves work well.

I'll probbably just get different wheels....

Get the IX weaves if they are in good condition. They aren't worth a crazy amount of money, but $150 is really cheap and a good set of weaves looks nice. All you need are spacers to make them work. Google an offset calculator to figure out the size of the spacers you want.

I just obtained this perfect iX weave as part of a set I'm building for the new iX as it has aftermarket wheels on it right now. It's an original spare with the original Uniroyal tire on it. I'm deciding on whether to actually use it. I think it belongs in a museum.

Also, I never noticed there's actually quite a bit of difference between the iX weave and the Euroweave. If you haven't seen them side by side it might surprise you. Notice how the center of the e41 iX weave points outwards while the e24 Euroweave is perpendicular with a nice deep lip.

also notice the difference behind the center cap. rounded/sharp corners.
