Which offset to suit Cupra without fouling arches or brakes? (Pro Race 1.2's)

[Poverty]

And the weight according to my bathroom scales and two bits of wood are

OEM wheel - 26.5lbs
Pro Race 1.2 - 20.5lbs

Thats a saving of 6lbs per wheel or 24lbs of unsprung weight.

Love the finish on those alloys

Andromeda 12kg
Pro races 9.3kg

Figures as per horace converted into kgs

Total weight saving 10.9kg of unsprung weight.

The OEM wheel is filthy admittedly so its not really a fair comparison for appearance

The Pro race still seem heavy. been looking at the OZ website and can get some Alleggerita in 18" that only weight 6.40 Kg each!!!!

6.4 kg is the weight of the 17's

Doh!

Interesting link here

The Americans are saying they are around $400 or £285 per wheel although they are 2lbs lighter than the 1.2's right enough

They look really good Allen.

Wheels just arrived at work. Quick delivery

Still not sure on tyres. I have F1 Assymetrics in 225 just now, but I fancy something sticky and possibly in a 235 configuration, but I defo want rim protectors.

Suggestions welcome

When i got my summer tyres fitted yesterday got a price for the 235-40-18's of £140 fitted

3Kg's weight saving is excellent, with lighter 2 piece discs you should notice a big difference especially with the LSD

 

[DanGB]

bearing in mind, the more negative camber you have, the more likely the whels will clear the arches.

Ah nice, he kept that quiet.

 

[Al]

Ha ha! So quiet I never even knew about it

There was a swap box with a diff already fitted available from AMD in Essex but that is way too far for me to go to get it done.

Ha ha, i suppose you got to leave something to look forward to.

 

[holty]

TD say 8 x 18 with ET of 40 will clear the arches and calipers, but I will be finding out tomorrow what Revos car fitment as because they dont know themselves

Getting a deal on them though - £464 delivered inc VAT

Bloody hell!
I paid rather alot more than that even though I did have FK452s fitted with them!
You must have mafia links ?

Might look at doing that if the clutch starts to give up admittedly
