    Well after finding out my Zeemax wheels were buckled I have been looking for another set of Alloys.

    Only to find out the fitment guide Barry @ Zeemax gace me was sh*t.

    Sent the new ones back and I have stuck my 17"s back on and I'm keeping them on.

    It's enough to put you off modding cars if I knew then what I know
    now I would never have started.:disapprove:

    What's your prob with the wheels?? If it's width, I can advise the use of H&R spacers, even though Barry will tell you they're useless etc etc, they're TUV approved, work a treat, and make your wheels look braw!!
    Besides that, I'm really sorry to hear your dilemma, I almost had that when I received the kit as it was so poorly made, the bodyshop at JC's refused to touch it and for some reason, Zeemax would not take it back

    Good luck!!

    I now have 19" mille miglia rv-s fitted with yokahama prado. But with the 5 stud hub and spaceers I have on they rub against the body kit. I am going to get them machined down by 5mm when I get back my hols. I will keep the 17"s momo GTR's on until I get them done. Mind you they might not look as smart or fill out the arches but the ride is loads better.

    Nice choice!!
    Why not get smaller spacers, reduce having any problems with balancing, alignment and strength and sell your old ones!! Worth a try!:clown:

    I wish!! but as usual Barry makes things very difficult. The spacers/hubs are all inclusive with my five studs not easy to replace so say minisport anyway best option to machine so they say.
