Awesome Bargain & Failure

[deezee]

Well I thought I got myself a right bargain. Some guy rallying a Pug got some wheels (4x108 ET35 magnesium OZ Racing off a Sierra Cosworth) but they were the wrong offset for a pug. So I got them for a steal. I blasted them at work and had them powder coated, then threw some Toyo Proxies on

I was feeling all smug. 4 powder coated wheels and new tyres for a tickle over £300, weigh less than 6kgs each as well. Well until I went to fit them They are Group 4 Rally wheels so the standard sierra studs are too short. So now I'll either have to change all the studs over or get some special adapter nuts.

Don't really know where to go with this lot now.

I'll give you a tenner for the lot, just to help you out!

Get the studs, they're nice wheels, and Rally Design do them cheap.

change the studs. as tt says its easy to change them. they can check your studs are the correct length for the wheels at iva so "special nuts" may not be the best solution.

i had to fit longer studs on my car when i fitted my team dynamics wheels

No problem at all to change the studs, I had to do that on the last car I built. I got mine from Speedshack in Uxbridge. Only cost a few quid, they do them in lots of different sizes. They are just pressed in to the hubs.

Awesome. I'd asked this question on Locost Builders and no one knows a thing.... to be honest, most of the guys there seem to talk crap about everything BUT kitcar construction I had the same, complete lack of advice, when I asked about DOHC clutch information I'll give speedshack a call this morning and see what they can do. Thanks guys
