Hi all,
Has anyone looked at converting their RS wheels to the 17" or 18" from factory/stock RS 16"?
I see it is popular with the VW crowd.
I am going to look into it more - I have a found a few places offering lips / halves to suit.
I'd probably do it and convert them to a better fitment for the 700/900 from the current offset / sizes I have now:
16x7 et11 with a 1.5in lip and a 5in barrel
16x8 et-2 with a 2.5in lip and a 5in barrel
Not exactly cheap either...prices seem to have gone up!
Some photos I have found attached, this one was a 16" to start. The silver ones I had which I sold to another member here, picked up a set in red a few years ago from a guy who couldn't fit them to a VW or BMW [because...the bolt pattern wasn't proper!]
I like the stepped lip more though. But tire options would be easier
