warning ...wheel spacers
candy turbo:
took my wheels off today for a bit of routine cleaning to find this ......
took the other side off to find that one the same ......
these are not cheap versions they are FK made in germany , they have only done about 300 miles on the car as i dont use it that much and i drive it with care , a few on here expressed concern about fitting spacers maybe you were right !!!
ill be contacting the supplier monday but i wont be wanting a replacement set !!!!!!!!!!!!
those of you who have these fitted (especially if to drive hard ) worth checking them!!!!!
Greeners:
I took the ones the Wheelman (Ben) supplied me a few weeks ago after about 1k and they were perfect. Don't be put off mate, the hub ring does look very thin! :scared:
candy turbo:
not really a safty issue here the wheel was still securely fitted but dont think ill want any more ! the ring has to be thin to enable it to do what it has to do i suppose :surprised:

I'll have a look at mine tomorrow as Im sure there a bit more substantial than that! Hopefully Ben will be along to give his opinion.
