Re: I think these new Mini wheels might fit. Help / advice please

Thanks for confirming my thoughts.

Looks like I’m stuck with the moonbeams for now. I think it’s a sign, I do like them!

Other option I saw was some Porsche Cookie Cutters but low ET of 23, might post about them separately to see.

Thanks all.

Re: I think these new Mini wheels might fit. Help / advice please

Thanks everyone, yes it’s definitely going to weigh a lot less don’t know if there’s anyway to find out the load rating. They are from the new generation mini after 2015. Nothing stamped on the wheel and apparently BMW haven’t released any data on them? Thought it might be too good to be true, with ...

I think these new Mini wheels might fit. Help / advice please

Hi guys, I have found these wheels going for a song and think they might fit with no issues - what’s you’re thoughts? They are brand new for £20 a wheel. They are Mini 15” wheels 5x112 with 66.5 centre bore and 46 ET offset with 14mm bolt mounting. Only issue is I can’t find any details on load rati...

Re: Will these Audi A3 S-Line alloys fit ok?

Yeah those were my thoughts originally too. Decided not to go for them mainly because the centre bore would need to be machine widened and don’t fancy getting that done.
Thanks!

Will these Audi A3 S-Line alloys fit ok?

Looking a little bit of advice please. I have been looking at getting some alloys for my T25 Xplorer and these ones have come up at a good price of £70, genuine Audi A3 S-line alloys recently resprayed in gunmetal grey (although I would prefer silver) just wondered if they would fit without much mes...

Re: Viking Roof Latch - need longer thread

Hi, sorry I took a look at them good find but I thought the collar round them would not work as it’s quite wide.

Took another look and perhaps I was being duh, do these unscrew out from the bit with collar so I can discard that bit and just use the screw part? Ah ha! Cheers!!!

Re: Viking Roof Latch - need longer thread

Thanks fellas!

I’ll measure the thread and length when I have the van out at the weekend to see.

The hook part is more of a right angle with a slight curve but as you say Rob with a bit of heat might work although might have to hack a bit off also but good find, closest thing yet!

Thanks

Re: Viking Roof Latch - need longer thread

Thanks Diabolov! I was hoping that there might be some off-the-shelf thing that would work if I can just match the thread width. Not sure if bending with heat will keep its shape without weakening it as it is under quite a bit of constant pressure but maybe worth a go??? If anyone else has any other...
