Thinking of getting some 15" Foosh Wheels

Post by Damo7 »

Does anyone have any idea if these wheels are any good? Do they crack? Just like to hear if they are any good before I buy some! :pimp

Never heard of them...can you supply any details
Ie:
PCD
Offset
Centre hole diameter (for the grease caps)
Load rating (a T25 is a heavy beast)
Size

ET20 offset is too low for a T25....from memory it needs to be 30 - 35? something like that.

Projekt Zwo wheels had an ET of 22 so 20 is licking the sticky bit on the edge of the envelope.

ET23 actually but eh it's only 1mm. ;)

Regarding ET30-ET35...those offsets don't work with 8" wide wheels so the width of the wheel is just as important as the offset.
ET23 is perfectly ok to use with 7" wide alloys.

Here's a photo of how the Projektzwo 7"X16" ET23 wheel sits.

Those Foosh wheels are only 5.5" wide so they won't sit as far out towards the wheel arch as the Projektzwo's.

As for strength....according to the MW's website they are fully tested and stamped JWL(Japan Light Alloy Wheel) so they 'may' be upto the job of a 2+ ton van but I'd suggest asking MW's for the actual load rating before committing to buying them.

As for quality...Midland Wheels and the word 'quality' doesn't usually get used in the same sentence!
There's no 'r' in bought!
