Love that last pic!

Jim, almost a year since first stop by, bought this ones earlier today, japanese version and no spacers, 16x7 et25 on 4x100 :)

Being from Japan, are they a 2 piece wheel then?, most are.

[fporro]

Ah, I can't confirm as yet to receive them.

Jim, any updates ?

Quite a score - as you know this particular wheel is rare as hen's teeth. This is the third full set I've seen in 10 years of looking. CONGRATULATIONS !!

Thanks cactusjacks1, thought German ones were rarer, I've scrambled monies when saw them as really wanted a set,
unlike bbs rs 003's they'll let brakes get a little exposure and color should go very well with my Delphin Metallic iC.

they need a little work, nothing major I hope.

What size are the caps on them? They look bigger than the hartges I have.

Shameless plug... I'm getting caps made (130mm of the top of my head) up if anyone is interested?

If that damage is done to the 2 piece setup, you'll be looking for complete new barrels, or barrels and lips.
I'm nearly 100% sure all the jap market wheels were 2 piece.

They kinda look like a three piece wheel. I had not heard that the one's from Japan were two piece but I am always learning new things about Hartge. There were lots of changes with their products.

As you well know, the search for, and then finding the hen's teeth is so rewarding my friend.

I had heard about, but have never seen the ones from Japan. I think that they are a later edition than the German one's but still vary rare. Your's need a little work, nothing major. That can be fixed to be made to look like new and should go well with the color of your car. Congratulations!!!:up:

I agree the caps look different. Mine dish inwards and those look like they are dish outwards. The cap bolt looks different also but it is hard to see in the pictures.

BTW, There is someone that has already gone through the CNC process. I just got a set a couple of weeks ago because my plastic ones were going bad. If you have not paid to have the work done shoot me a PM and maybe I can hook you up or maybe he will respond if he see's your post.

I hope that he finds that they can fill and machine down the lips to make them look great. Replacements could be hard to find. I will be interested to see if the Japanese wheels are 2 piece.

Cheers,

Jim

this guys are from japan too, 5x120 as 16x7.5 et19 and 16x8.3 (8.5?) et22
and 73mm centers

different looking lips yet same 32 hole count

Ive got a set of 15x6.5 +20 in the Jap Hartges, they are a 3 piece design but they weld the barrel and lip together (wheel centre is sandwich fit)

The only way to pull them apart would be for someone to split the weld, and then you would need to get custom lips made up if you wanted anything new...

That's what i meant when I asked if the were 2 piece, as they do this to any 3 peice wheel, even rare BBS ones:hitler:
