Great Store for Custom Wheel Nuts

Postby Leeday » Mon May 24, 2010 2:26 pm

If anybody is needing wheel nuts, I just got mine (over the phone) from http://www.speedshack.co.uk/Wheelnuts.htm spoke to a guy named Steve and he was amazingly helpful, even knows his alloy wheels, I mentioned Turbo vec and he immediatly said "ahh made by Wolfrace some years ago, 17mm inner hole for sleve, 20mm deep, etc, etc", Nuts and lockkers are being posted out today via 1st class recorded delivery for delivery tomorrow....
Great service...........
Lee.

Tyres are 205 R 14 (full profile....... no low profile) ... they are rather close at the front bumper when turning and about 10mm off the front of the rear arch............ lol.... don`t matter how close it is, as long as it don`t touch :D

wicked 8) 8) 8)

do the back tyres catch on the sliding door at all :?: you can always fit some 195's or 185's when you used up the 205's to reduce the profile if you wanted :D but i like them a lot and good to see them on a tidy mk3 too 8)

Hi Luke,
Both the side doors open ok.... the back wheels fill the arches lovely, the front ones however are pushing the legal laws... may have to put a slight flare on the front arches, but only enough to be legal as don`t want the big flare look... would have been great to find wheels with with 2 having a different off-set so they would sit in side the arch keeping all 4 wheels looking the same.... but this set of 5 came up and I just had to have them :D

the backs fit as you have the narrow mk3 axle (which is handy) :D the fronts ideally you could fit mk4 wings as they are more flared but i'm pritty sure you'll need the dog leg bit that in front of the door too :)

Sounds good to me, I am hoping to start on the bodywork soon as some rust is appearing so want to "nip it in the bud" so to speak :D
