Lenso Evo II
18" fitted with a 10mm spacer on the front and an 8mm spacer on the rear. The rear didnt need a spacer but the increase in track can only help the handling

Jimbo, they look

you need to change your signature too

Most porsche wheels are about a 52ET, & 8/8.5" rim width
As you'll be converting from 4x98 to 5x130 if you them select the spacer/adaptor size right you'll fill the arches nicely and most importantly should clear the calipers with no issues.
Some of the corrado lads fit porsche rims as an option to clear the brembos they fit off the seat cupra r

fox evo 17s no spacers or wobbly bolts straight on

There was a set of Mille Miglia Action 17 in wheels for sale on ebay but they were sold before I bought my new coupe. The new owner confirms they fit without spacers on the front. The ET is 35 mm. I've tried loads of wheel suppliers (ones that have ET 35's) and all say have nothing to fit the 20VT. This getting a joke. I take it there is no guarentee that ET 35's will fit without spacers as I assume it will depend on the curvature of the spokes. Is this correct and with ET 35 or less is it a cert. they will fit.

No, its not a cert - it depends on the design of the wheel. Its more likly a certain design will fit without spacers if the et is a lower number, but not a dead cert.

could be because they aint got many 4x98mm pcd wheels and they also aint willing to guarantee they will fit over the 20vt bremvos so are playing it safe

You can get 4x100 wheels re-pitched to the 4x98, costs about a tenner per wheel.

So how is re-pitching the wheel done, I know it's only 1mm but!.Is it a better option than fitting wobbly bolts, there isn't much cost difference.
The wheel companies tried are mainly mail order so I can understand their reluctance to say they will fit. Problem is even the wheel manufactures web sites give little information, especially regarding the ET.

The basically re-drill and counter sink the wheel bolt holes to give the correct spacing, its such a slight difference from 4x100 to 4x98 that you can hardly see it.
I think it may be a safer option than wobble bolts as your running a propper full sized bolt.

Hello,

It seems that Binno B1 fit correctly on the Coupe, without spacers :

B930
B970
B980
B1000
B1030
B1040
S4600
S4900
S5600

Binno Wheels

Spanish site to buy the wheels (official dealer)

Anyone bought these as looking at a refurb or new wheels and "em er wheels look dam fine"

Do you know they will clear the brake calipers or are you just going off of the PCD and offset?

mattB> I am sory but my english is not perfect and I don't understand exactly the meaning of your question.

Have you actually managed to try these wheels on the Coupé or are you just going by charts?

In fact I was to my shop and the buyer give a call to Binno Distributor.

In the catalog that my shop have there are only 3 models of Binno wheels and the distributor confirm that the B930 fit on the Coupe T20.

I was interesting by the b930 but after I gave a look to Binno site I think the others models fit too. I will go to my shop with the different models I've found and will ask him to call again the distributor.

I will keep you informed

No problem. I was just curious as a lot of wheels it's difficult to know if they will actually fit without trying them on the car.

While the numbers for the wheel might be correct, that's not always the end of the story.

MattB> My shop confirm that the B930 are real 4x98 7,5x17" ET30. I can not confirm for the other because they are not sold in France. I will buy them this week if I can have the "Hyper Silver" ("HP") finition.

But I really think that the list I gave to you is good. I have written a mail to Binno compagny for their confirmation. For the moment I don't have any answer.

If the wheels are good for the Coupé I will be great because there is choice and they are very cheap

Good luck

The Binno S4600 looks superb.

But 3 problems:

1. Although it will fit the 4x98 PCD and probably have the correct offset, I wonder whether it's actually been tested to fit over the Brembos' on the 20vt...

2.Importing wheels from Spain is surely going to be ££££'s
...

3. They appear to only go up to 17" size. So for us "used to 18 inches folk" that's no use...

Ah well. The search continues for a clean 6 spoke with the hub nuts covered.

Best wheel style for the Coupe?
Maybe a stupid question but! 4 bolts and odd numbers of spokes, expecially 5, can look naff to me because of the asymmetry of the drillings. These could look ok on wheels with a deep dished hub centre. What about multispoke say 9 or more? What about those that have centre covers so as not show the wheel bolts? Are the covers just plastic and fine till they break when prising them off, or are my thoughts here non-founded. I don't like multifit types with masses of holes, think that may be what I have now or the other holes may just be dummy ones. Given the PCD, ET and even then they may not fit, any comments?

Ordered these this friday, only 8 days of waiting now. offcours in the most male size of them all, 18''

They are called "Bellini Bella" and the color is HyperBlackSilver. And if that don't make grown men cry...
Comes with ET40 and 4x100. Just bolt on then. Will come back with more pics when they arrive.

Have a nice day.

ET40 and you think they will bolt straight on !!!

yeah 40 is std för 20VT

4x100 aint tho

And 4X100 ain't no problem with wobbly bolts

You mean the ones on the yellow coop in the pictures? They look fantastic !

Nope, if you klick the link it's the them on the big picture in the middle of the screen.
