Pro Race 1.3's
« on: February 14, 2010, 08:31:39 pm »
I want these wheels, but from what I can see they only do 18's in 8.5inch wide... My tyres are 225/40/18 so they arent going to be suitable, will they do them in 8inch or is it a case of if its not listed they wont do them? I am going to ring them tomorrow but I'm just after some info from anyone whos had experience of them  :happy2:

Also, has anyone seen any pics of these in the silver finish fitted to a golf, I cant find any?

Thanks

Over to JonnyC|  :happy2: If you give them a ring they may well be in a position to make a set of 18*8's up for you as they will do custom sizes.

They only have castings for 18x8.5, they can do custom PCD and ET from 25 to 55 as far as I remember.. You can run a 225 on a 8.5 no worries, and I wouldn't consider that a stretch at all..

Brilliant wheel  :smiley:

VWR do the 1.2 without the writing in the rim - so almost the same as a 1.3 and in the size you want, helpful?

A 225 doesn't look in the least bit stretched on my 8's - I can't see an extra 1/2 inch making much difference.  :happy2:

I'll look forward to seeing these.

Go for the 1.2's if you want the weight saving. 8x18's are 9kg - 8.5x18 in 1.3's are 11kg.

Go for the 1.3's if you want the looks....or wider tyres like JonnyC

Ok going for the pro race 1.2's, I do prefer the look of the 1.3 but I don't need 8.5s and didnt realise the weight... gone for a silver finish without the logo, 18x8 et 45, should hopefully still look good  :happy2:

Just got to wait now, they recon 14days to make them  :mad:
