Hi folks

My rex is still under the knife at RXmotors (a few complications, but we think she\'ll pull through).

Anyhoo, it looks like it\'ll end up with FC hubs amongst other things so I will have 2 sets of redundant alloys for sale.  15" deep dish revvies & 17" Wolfrace jobbies with new 215s.

All in 114.3 .

May part ex FC fitment wheels.

Should be good when its all done.  Lots of new bits like rack & pinion steering & FC brakes/suspension!  :Thumbs-up
Now with added boost!  :burnout

Tim, i may know someone who will be interested in the wheels,   do you have any pics of them.  Also, what are you doing on the rear?, are you going 5 stud on the back to match the front?
400 BHP - 650 KG\'s = 616 BHP Per Ton of Rotary Power

That\'s the way to do it! :Thumbsup!


mr.bishi

Have you got the full dimensions and a price in mind for the revvies?

This is a conversion using FC parts.  (By the way Tony, Tim will be bending ur ear somtime - they are having real trouble with the conversion & you said it was easy! )

As for the wheels, the 17s cost me £600, the n a further £200 for the wider rear tyres.  They aren\'t quite perfect, but you have to look quite close to see.  The rubber is all nearly new (the car lives at RXmotors fort the past 2 years & got there on a flatbed! )

I\'d like a good £250 for the 17\'s, which just about pays for the rear tyres. Maybe part ex a set of your wheels towards them Mark?

The 15s are Revolution RFXs in white with ground & polished rims. These are no longer in production in 4x114.3 ET38, so rare as hens teeth.  I paid £350 for em.  The tyes are all legal, but the fronts are poo.  The rears are fairly new & must be expensive cos they\'re wide (225\'s I think)
I reckon the front rims are 5.5 or 6", the rears are wider, maybe 7 or 8"?

Oh poo. I had a hunch they wouldn\'t but thought I\'d double check because the wheels I had on my Lancia Delta wern\'t quite the right PCD but they supplied these bolts with sleeves to enable them to fit. Aah well,no retro wheels for me. Yet.:rolleyes:

you could fit Tim\'s hubs, it would give you a brake upgrade too and the 114.3 x 4 PCD you need
