Title: Alloy wheels advice please
Post by: Shark1e on 05 December 2010, 15:57:44
Hi All

Picked up four of these alloys today - (http://www.tenby-holidays.webspace.virginmedia.com/Images/alloywheelnew.jpg)

Tyre sizes are 225/55-16 w will need replacing fairly soon

they are 7J x ET39
my old alloys (http://www.tenby-holidays.webspace.virginmedia.com/Images/15-alloys.jpg) were 205/65-15 v 7J x ET33

will the different ET i pressume is the offset cause any issues?

i have driven round the block and hard left and right and no rubbing or odd noises.

thanks rob

Hi. The offset (ET) for Omegas are between 35 - 45, so the new ones are fine  :y

thanks mate,

they seem ok apart from balancing out on the fronts a tadge, mind you i can feel every bump now what with being lower profile.

does anyone know what year and model the new ones are from? they came off a S reg CDX saloon the seller told me.

need to source another alloy the same as only got four, and flea bay my old alloys, open to offers on them.

Almost certain 1997-1999 & as the seller told you - CDX
Have a butchers on eBay as i'm sure you'll find one there or your local car dismantlers  :y
