:grin:. I have to buy one more... The bags are holding the BBS rims right now. So I may need another set.
rex:
Today I fitted the rims on the car to see that everything is ok and that that brakes.
But first I weighed the rims:
9.2 kg opposed to 9.0 kg that TD say. I guess that it is because of the central bore which is 57.1mm opposed to 66mm and it is made of metal.
The strange thing is that fuscobal measured his 8x18 TD Pro Race 1.2 and they also weigh 9.2 kg (with 66mm central bore).
Here are some photos taken during the test-fit installation:
Another thing worth mentioning is that the brake clearance is HUGE. To be more exact 19mm. So, if anybody has the bbk and wants to have 7.5 x 17 it will go without any problems...
Oh... and one more thing... Some H&R spacers don't go well with the custom bore of 57.1 mm. Basically if you want TD's with 57.1mm central bore you can't use H&R hubcentric spacers on the rear of the car.
Top Cat:
Very nice Rex, some sticky tyres to go with them for the summer, and you will have a good leap in performance. :jumpmove:
fuscobal:
Cool, I told you they will clear the brakes easily !
the bruce:
Perfect fitment !! And looks great. :happy2:
Glad you decided for 8.o0" wide rims.
Hope you wont't get issues with fender clearence. Guess you have TT arms fitted
but I remember you wanted to go for wider fenders. :smiley:
