S4s wheels on a GT3?

[armynick]

Will these go on ok with no rubbing or any other problems?

[GKP]

Yep. The rear ones are touch and go as to whether they are legal because they can protrude outside of the wheelarch a weeny bit. Hence the bolt on arches of the S4S/V8s etc.

Sounds good, I just need to think about getting the wheel arches put on then. When I find some wheel that is.

Thanks

Mate, I kick myself I didnt get a set at the parts sale in Avonmouth, for a set of 4 brand new polished rims WITH new tyres they were selling for less than £600! ( i think it ws about £550ish)

They only had the rears at the sale.

What sale was this?

[Tentenths]

Lotus had a massive parts clearance sale down in Bristol earlier this year. More details here

I know Punky bought a full set, saw them all in the back of his car, they look stunning.

remember US S4s wheels are 17's and dont need the rear fender lips.
Euro S4s had 18's like the V8s


I bought a full set of US S4s wheels at the sale. But my car finally sold with them.. it looked stuning, new wheels really made the car look totally new.

I have the old set of S4s Wheels they need to have the polished lip re-done.. the clear coat has lifted in a few places.

They are for sale....

So you have front and rear euro ones for sale? Can you send pics?

He did buy a set (I was right behind him in the queue) but the front wheels he got were the federal spec fronts which are smaller 7Jx17 instead of 8.5Jx17 non fed spec.
I my self bought a pair of the rears what a nice price too

That's the sale that a moderator on this forum decided was advertising and locked all chat about, for your own good obviously :-)
