[Mk2] [Turbo] 17" Wheels questions

Post by Chris Lynch »

Hi I have a rev 3 turbo with 17" SSR Integral wheels. One of them is buckled. They are quite rare but if I do manage to find 1 or 2 fronts I want to make sure they are the correct off-set and width.

The ones I have don't rub much at all. They are mainly for show and I have an original set of 15's for track days etc... But I plan on a re-spray and a kit soon so want to make sure I have some nice wheels which match.

Also if anyone knows where I could get a replacement wheel from it would be really useful.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Thanks

Chris

PM Leeroy, I'm pretty sure he knows a specialist importer of rare alloys.
The offset of your wheels should be stamped somewhere on the inside of the spokes.

Is the damage bad to the wheel? One option if the alloys are rare is to have them professionally repaired, complete with X-Rays afterwards to confirm the repair is sound.

PM me if you need more info - a friend got some rare 18" rims on his 'Rex repaired after they were buckled by raised ironwork on a road.
