Wheel fitting advice

Post by minimoose » Sat May 11, 2013 11:20 am

I should be getting a set of 7j 16inch rota grids soon with 40 offset! My question is will I need to use spigot rings when fitting to my 5th gen? Also what wheel nuts would you guys reccomend?

Do rarerims supply the spigot rings?
Is it included with the price, or is it an extra?

I think rarerims sent @newkid the wrong size of spigot rings so id double check first or wait for newkid to update

Yeah I've had the same problem with rarerims they don't seem to be able to expand there vision that not all rota rims are 73.1 and ordering the center caps starts off a completely new ball game!

Personally if I want spigot rims I just get them off eBay, much cheaper I expect and do the same job.
