350Znismo Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Yes they will, the seller is a member here, i have the same size inc tyres from him £1500, just a different style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 don't go for them, they will need spacers mate, best avoid PLus 20" and they'll weigh 2 tonnes each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prescience Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 pretty sure lomoto has standard calipers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev946 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Axis are a cast wheel. They are nice wheels though but i would be worried about weight in a 20 inch. Look nice though. Not sure about spacers as well. If the are +35 then fitting a 10mm spacer will equate to +25 on the fronts which is the same as my offsets on the front. My rears are +29 on a 10.5, so these will be in the arch about 12mm, which should still look OK. You could always go and see them first and try them on. You could then see how much they weigh.

lomoto Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 yes I,ve got standard calipers, bit worried about what you say about the weight issue might have to give some different wheels a thought now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 mind you it all depends on how bothered you are about full performance and what you do with the car mate. IMO surely adding lots of extra unsprung weight is unnecessary on an already heavyish car like ours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev946 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Tim, Why not check with Axis how heavy they are. Mine are heavier than the standard wheels and they have forged centres and rims. Provided they are not massively heavier they should be OK. The other think to remember is much of the increased weight comes from the bigger tyres. My fronts are only maginally heavier for example.

Hi Kev, yes I,ll give Axis a look up on their website., determined to get some different rims on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev946 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 The other thing to remember of course is cost goes up inversely to weight. If you don't like them you can always sell them on probably for pretty much what you pay for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

350Znismo Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Mike is only 65 miles from you, and always offers to fit so you can see, As the weight, Yes each wheel is 15% more than standard, but the ride is not affected, you can drive mine if you want and you will see no difference, agreed you will see a difference if you track the car but i have the standard wheels for that.

Kev946 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 The Axis are pretty light then. My works weigh 26.5 lbs front and 28 lbs rear. This is actually what they weigh and not a manufacturers figure. Mine are 19x9 and 19x10.5. It says SF challenges which are a good datum, weigh 27 lbs and 28 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
