Been after some 02 alloys for a while now, finally got some sorted...
Needed some 5mm spacers to clear the hubs as it's an early car but I'm happy with them.
Only a quick phone shot but you get the idea....

5163


EDIT: Spacers are required on earlier cars with smaller standard brakes, to clear the brake caliper and not the hub as all hubs are the same size from '91-'05. I was able to remove my spacers as I have later size brakes.

Did you managed to exchanged them in the end for straight ones?

Car looks great BTW, did you get them from Prime?

Cheers,

Still waiting for a straight rail!
Wheels were from the UK '03 being broken at the mo.

If it is the ones I am thinking I hope you got a good deal on them. :)

Probably paid more than I should but I wanted them. Worked out about the same as getting some from the USA. . . But a lot less hassle.

Simon,

Nice, I'll interested in f&r photos when you get the chance to see the impact of the spacers on the stance of the car

Regards, Paul

I think these wheels are only going to get harder to find. I blame the over-hunting of the LBB. Their number have depleted :-( Makes me wonder how many facelift cars are actually left? In the last three or four years I can think of 4 LBB's, a couple of silver cars and a red one that have bitten the dust.
Seriously though, they're great wheels and with the current exchange rates, less than a set of good aftermarket Japanese rims.

I'd like to know who bought the snakeskin seats;-)



Cheers,


James.

I saw the snake skin seats when I picked up the wheels. . . Crazy. Bet they'd sell on prime though.
