Knock on wire wheels on a 340?

Post by **volvosneverdie** » 23 Nov 2008 12:14 am

Aye up all.

has any V3M member ever put knock on wire wheels on their car?

A lad up the road is selling a set of 14inchers which look absolutley beautiful.

And ive seen 4x100 'wire wheel adaptors' on a few websites but dont really know if that is all you need?
will the adaptors push the wheel out further?
Dont really want to shell out for wheels and adaptors to find that theyre useless.

Bit of a novice really, so looking for a bit of advice.

Will they poke out too far? fit at all? impossible? anyone had any sucess?

Yeah Baz, i mustve seen the same set on RR.
Mentioned it to a mate and he said his birds brothers been trying to shift some for ages.
Theyre too cheap to ignore but i dont want to splash next months ret if theres no way theyll fit.
Come on genius's, someone mustve tried before.................

You have to get ET of these wire wheels..aything from et 35 to 15 should fit..depending on how wide,,

If you aren't gonna get them I'd be interested. They'll only look good if you slam the ride height too.

Use the formula:

Your Car + {(Suspension - Height) + (Wheels + [3xWidth])} = THE WIN

Yeah John, planned to drop it a bit anyway in good time.
Once sorted money out for blocks and whatnot. And now wheels. Which'll need some tyres.

Oh dear. think I feel an expensive project coming on.

Still, look on the brightside eh? at least its not the run up to christmas or anything.............

Wire wheels might work on a Mk1 - but would certainly look dodge on a Mk3 IMHO
