Dbo wrote:bore size is take a ruler with you m8 ;) mine were 67.1 rim bore and 64.1 hub :D
but the Ats i had were 64.1 rim and the Boss redlines i have now are 73.1 rim ;)

aftermarket alloys love messing around with hub bore so measure that they are bigger than 64.1 and do as i did and took one rim in carparts centre and tried all spigots till i got the right ones :lol:

2 sets of spigots i tried were right size whole but the rim bore was camfered angle on whole so had to match the 15% degree on spigots :D
Bugger, I should have read this AGAIN, I ordered 73.1 to 64.1 spigot rings ..I have a feeling that I have got the wrong size :x - all info I could find online about Konig wheels said they all have a 73.1 bore

just measure one of yours m8 ;) maybe the hurry2 you have as per blue sticker are 73.1 as made after they all agreed to a standard bore hole size :D

my email from them stated that they would fit prelude as were standard fitment for a mitzo lancer and as such were made to fit their oem hubs at 67.1, but if yours were made for anyfit aftermarket they probaly are 73.1 :P

So far the spigot rings that were on my original 18s have fitted three other sets of wheels including my konigs

I popped the old spigot rings out last night, they had 73.1 stamped on them, thankfully!! New SR's should be here tomorrow, then I need to get the old tyres swapped over from my current wheels and paint the lips white :)

Change of plan here - the new spigot rings arrived so I gave the wheels a good clean up and some paint started flaking off the centre around the bolt holes :( so it looks like I'm painting the whole wheels now and not just the lip. I had the tyres pulled off this morning on my way to work so I can get busy with the sandpaper later on :)

hahaha no mate, while I do like flock, I think I have enough on my car already.. plus if I ever wanted to strip it off it would ruin my paint underneath, especially on the sideskirts. You can buy velvet vinyl now though which looks and feels like flock but is on a self adhesive sheet!

My plan is to paint the wheels satin black with a gloss white lip :)

Decisions, decisions.. although with my black flocked bumper and black windows, I think black and white wheels are the way to go.
