joshnz 2 Report post Posted April 14, 2009 As the title suggest ... I have had a google, emailed a couple of places about a pair of 20mm H&Rs but they are wanting $350+GST. Wondering if there are more cheaper but still legal bolt on options available? Rather than getting a place in town to make them, which will take a few weeks .. I kind of need somewhere in stock now, as I am on tight time constraints with the cert/pink sticker/wof issues Cheers guys Josh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CamB 48 Report post Posted April 14, 2009 Yeah nah? http://www.drivenperformance.co.nz/scripts...?idproduct=1416 Pic is different to the heading. Hot tip - JiB has those but 4x100 to 4x114.4 adapters. He couldn't find bolts with a short enough head to fit so had to get very short screw in studs (and used those low profile nuts they come with). You then obviously need a set of regular lug nuts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joshnz 2 Report post Posted April 14, 2009 Thanks Cam, was just talking to the guy who owns that website a few mins ago (well through TME Q&A) he said something about needing hub centric with longer bolts and stuff and a set of those is $600 through that site .. just wondering what the price difference is for?

joshnz 2 Report post Posted April 14, 2009 Gutted ... SELLER'S ANSWER: No, these are bolt on, which are designed for cars with preexisting studs. The BMW ones also have expensive long load bearing bolts with them and are 2 sets (4) whereas this is 1 pair (2) spacers that doesnt need load bearing bolts. You could look at converting your car to studs by buying some sort bolts to bolt the spacers to your existing hubs - that may be a cheaper way of doing it. We may still need to custom make the spacers for you to get the right size hubcentric though. Give us a call. ... Would there be any other alternatives? This is going to be a very expensive f**king cert Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should be okay? Hmm confusing.. Edited April 14, 2009 by E30ONP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joshnz 2 Report post Posted April 14, 2009 Too big and the wheels will stick out too much = illegal Hopefully when I get this all done it should look mint, gonna get some mean guard work done to accommodate the Alpinas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CamB 48 Report post Posted April 14, 2009 E300NP - He bought them from Driven I think. Ask them - don't trust the website. They're the bronzey coloured ones, and he got spacer rings for inside them and in the wheels. BEEMIR - They're $180 a pair, so you need 2x sets (= $360), then you need a set of short studs and some hubcentric rings. It won't be cheap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joshnz 2 Report post Posted April 14, 2009 Sweet, nah I only need a pair for the front, the rears are fine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JiB 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2009 (edited) Nah, got mine from Vaughan Motors. Driven wanted about twice as much.... E30ONP, they're were just nice with 20mm, especially on the rear. I guess an extra 5mm will require guard modification. Edit: Seen the Driven Performance adaptors on trademe? They've really dropped in price! $180 per pair isn't too bad.
