I should be getting a set of 7j 16inch rota grids soon with 40 offset! My question is will I need to use spigot rings when fitting to my 5th gen? Also what wheel nuts would you guys reccomend?

Do rarerims supply the spigot rings?
Is it included with the price, or is it an extra?

I think rarerims sent @newkid the wrong size of spigot rings so id double check first or wait for newkid to update

:x Right then Newkid looks like I'm jumping on your band wagon just got home and after this post went and checked my spigot rings in my one wheel not sent off to be rufurbed and guess what.... Yup too big for hole! Have been sent 73.1 looks like I need 67.1 :( pissed off now coz was picking my wheels up on tuesday and wanted them fitting aswell!!! :evil:

Yeah I've had the same problem with rarerims they don't seem to be able to expand there vision that not all rota rims are 73.1 and ordering the center caps starts off a completely new ball game!

Personally if I want spigot rims I just get them off eBay, much cheaper I expect and do the same job.

Asked them over the phone! I commented on there traders section on Civiclife and got no response so went direct.

Haha I'm just going have ring up tmoz and speak to them! I need centre caps aswell so that's going to be even more fun to sort out! What rotas have you got newkid?
