That's exactly what they do but only to push them out, they are available in thickness from 3mm to over 40mm. IIRC Positive ET pushes the wheel out more, assuming he is going from standard VW offset on the wheel that will be well within the scope of spacers. When going towards 20mm thick it's worth getting good ones that extend a collar for the spigot ring to sit on preferably also double bolted (bolt the spacer to the hub and the wheel to the spacer).
My eyes!
Chav wheels and a carry handle. Tasteful.
Well I like them.
So, Mason was wrong, and has a small penis, and i was right, again :D
And that's news in what way?
I just forgot how awesome i actually was for a moment :)
As you were :)
Oh my, that car looks sooooooo sweet. I gotta have one.Just gotta.
hah ha ha haha

Heh.
Not MSN-ing tonight?
Yea......?
I'm there, where are you is the question clearly :D
What i'm trying to find is, alloys like this:

spoke that go to the edge of the rim rather than to the centre part likethis:

Shame about those TSW's they are et 35 so they won't exactly help the handleing! If anyone sees any 4x100 et 45-55 let me know plz.
Vauxhall don't have any compatible fitments.
They use their own offset of ET49-ish on their older cars (dunno about the newer ones) - you need Vauxhall-fitment rims for your Vauxhall !
Really ?
!
they are massivly soft.
I don't know of one, but the places that sell wheels have this information.
For example,

who have a big disclaimersaying I shouldn't do this... ;) To understand what yer lookin at, the golf (not mk 3 or 4) is PCD 4 x 100, offset between 32 and 38, centre bore: 57.0 Your Nexia takes PCD 4 x 100, offset between 38 and 42 mm, and centre bore of 56.5 mm.
Now I'm not certain about this so I daresay others will pick up on the mistakes, but my understanding is this:
1) the centre bore needs to be the same. A steel wheel is centred when you tighten the tapering nuts which go onto the studs on the hub. The weight of the car is carried by these studs.Alloy wheels are a lot softer than steel so if you did the same thing, the stud holes would wear rapidly and leave you with wheels that moved about. Because of this, an alloy wheel fits snugly around the hub and the nuts are only there to press the wheel against the hub. Because of this they're often flat nuts as you can't allow them to wear anyway.
The wheels you propose have the wrong centre bore. If you drove a few miles like that the wheel holes would be stuffed, and would be rotating around the hub by a millimeter in a circular motion, as the hub turned moving the weight to the other side and back. Vast amounts of friction generated as heat into the brakes and tyres, really not good, this is a direct loss of power, acceleration and fuel economy if nothing worse happened.
2) The offset is wrong as well, the range just touches in both cases but the seller doesn't know what offset he has (it'll be marked on the wheel if you can get him to look) as he just says they're for that car. It's possible they are offset 38 millimeter, in which case that would just fit, but otherwise you are taking the risk they are the wrong offset. Spacers would solve that, however, as it would just mean a few millimeters of padding, if the offset was too large this would be a different question. Had the centre bore been right, you could space these no worries. 3) PCD has to be the same or the studs won't go through the holes. That's fine in this case, 100 mm across and four stud fitting is quite correct.So you are looking for CB: 56.5mm, offset between 38 and 42 mm, although you can space something with a smaller offset. PCD 4 x 100.
Now look at the list. You can fit wheels from most four stud Vauxhall cars, i.e. corsa, cavalier, calibra, etc, and obviously most Daiwoo wheels will fit as well. You can also buy new wheels specifying what your vehicle fitting is and these will fit.
The wheels you cited will fit various VWs, some Skodas, and some Seats, not surprising as they're all part of a larger entity as I recall.
very useful info, thanks man!
Yeah, seriously! He nearly shelled out for it to be refurbished properly, then decided just to attack the thing first to see what happened. Didn't even take it off the car - the most surprising thing was the you couldn't even see where the dent was afterwards. Maybe he was just lucky in the way it bent.
Chris.
lol yeah inbetween 30 hours of school and another 25 hours of part time jobbage it's pretty good :)

Ah, it dawns that it won't fit into a calibra.
