tannerian Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Hi Guys Im considering these new wheels, and would like some advice please. They are called 19" DARE R1 (River i think!), and specs are - 8 J X 19" 5X114 ET38 FRONTS 9 J X 19" 5X114 ET38 REARS They do come with 20 mm spacers to clear the brembos (apparently) [attachment=0]dare.jpg[/attachment] Questions: Does anyone have experience of these wheels or brand Will this offset suit with 20mm spacers What are general thoughts? I have a budget of around £800 by the way! Thanks in advance for your help / thoughts Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M350ZB Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 By any chance are these from DP Motorsport ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannerian Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 yes - is that good or bad?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M350ZB Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 only going by from what i have heard on this forum, might be worth dropping marzman a PM, and i also remember there being a guy who got sent some wheels with the wrong tyres on. Give the search button a tiggle, and im sure you will find all the info you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M350ZB Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Even for a tad more, you can get some great wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1 HNK Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 there was a Zed on pistonheads with these wheels on and they did look good. Not seen them before but they looked quite simple and stylish. As for quality, usuallly you get what you pay for so as people have said worth spending a few more pennies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 They look like the standard rims off a Merc CLS320 CDi..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannerian Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 haha, yeah they do look similar now you mention it!! You've got a good eye - unless you own a Merc CLS320 CDi..... of course!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannerian Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 Im not the biggest fan of the Rays, though admit that they're an improvement on the standard 18's. I wouldn't want a mangled set that needs serious repair though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Save up some more and then contact either CS, Andy or Chilli Red for Wheels. I'm getting a set from Chilli Red this weekend and they are gonna be really really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 IMO your better of spending a bit more instead of getting Rays, I prefer the OEM 6 spokes to the rays. Your budget isn't that far off a set of Rotas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a set with Polished lips in the "For Sale" section, Nice non-mangled condition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannerian Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 I agree These actually look better than expected (IMHO) on a car! [attachment=0]1040198-2.jpg[/attachment] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannerian Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 well, all sorted now. Bought a set of top condition GT4 wheels for a bargain price - picking them up tomorrow, and fitting at weekend. Im chuffed really, as i didnt think id get a set of these for less than a set of 'above average' Rays are going for. heres one of them!: [attachment=0]GT4.JPG[/attachment] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
