Digsy Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Off to Demon Tweeks today to get some Mintex Extreme brake pads fitted and thought I'd take the opportunity to have my new spigot rings put on and change to the black Gorilla spline drive lug nuts that Adam's supplied from the States. Pads went on fine but neither lugs nor spigot rings were the correct size! This is the third time Envy have sent me spigot rings which don't fit(including the set which came with my rims) and I'm at a loss as to what they find so hard in supplying rings that fit both car and wheel. They are supposed to be the experts when it comes to these things!!! I'll give Z1 some leeway as this is their first **** up but I have waited weeks and they also hold themselves out to be Zed experts. Felt a complete tw@t as every time I'm at DT something doesn't fit that they haven't supplied. On the bright side pads are much better than OEM giving more bite and excellent stopping power. Quote

Adam@Z1auto.com Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 we'll have new ones sent in the AM, again, sorry for that mixup..I've scolded my guys (so used to sending lugs to the UK, typically for evo custoemrs!) Quote

No problem. Thanks for the quick response. Don't suppose you have any suitable spigot rings, as my local guys who supplied the wheels don't seem to have a clue. Quote
Adam@Z1auto.com Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 ah....typical alloys use a 73.1 mm outer bore, but the RP03 and a couple others use a 75mm outer bore. I don't stock them, would have to order (takes about a week or so typically) Quote

Adam@Z1auto.com Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 no charge for them...not a problem, we will send together, I'll call Enkei this AM and order them up Quote
