but dont you have any pride? haha

Mate, it's not like Ford alloy wheels are made by Ford....

Of course one would take a flat head screw driver to the Emblems quick sticks.

Cheers for the info ppls

lol sorry champ I should have been clearer, in my case I change my rears fairly often (track/daily) so I dont give a shit what goes on, more important to me is function and price, not what some may think about X rims on Y car.

Edited by Flipmo
the emblems aren't the problem.

would you put holden wheels on your ford? porsche wheels on ya bmw?

didnt think so

Actually some people would do those kinds of things.

great, thanks dude! jsut got to sought out these offsets

yeah be careful, i had a BA xr6 before my axis and I've got two sets of mags in the shed off (a set of 17's and 19's) it but only the 17's fit. the 19's hit the front calipers as the offset is different to the 17's

i had r34 gt-t wheels on my magna. offset was slightly different but they did the job

something else to take into consideration is that the hub centre holes may be different, so you may need egg rings to make them site on the hub properly so that the wheels studs aren't taking all of the load. in the case of the r34 wheels i had to actually make the hole bigger so it would fit over the hub. a mate of mine who put r33 wheels onto his hilux had to do the same

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
