The Tot Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) New wheels came today. Lenso D1Rs, BUT, they sent the wrong tuner nuts!. Love how the rear wheels are recessed! £825 from LKPerformance including fitting kit and 215/40/17's - Falken ZE914's. I compromise dry grip because I consider myself a bit of a wet-weather maestro on both car and bike - smooth and stable.

InsolentMinx Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) oooh, very nice! shame about the nuts though... I've always wondered about staggered fitments and dished rear wheels though... what happens when you need to replace the tyres on the front wheels? 'They' say that new tyres are meant to be put on the back axle, so do you have to remove the tyres from the back wheels and put them on the front wheels? And then put the new ones on the rears?

Joecard71 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Manifold nuts, gaskets and cat fitting kit, just waiting on the new downpipe so I can get on with full exhaust replacement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tot Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) Well, LK performance are sending me the 12mm x 1.5mm tuner nuts FOC in the post! Only problem is, WILL the deliver in time before I head over to Silverstone for my Lotus Exige experience day tomorrow! Can't wait to have the fitted - Falken ZE914's are going to be dope in the wet! I suppose I can "rotate" the tyres and not care . Main concern is not having locking nuts for the tuner nuts, but hey ho! Perks of multi-stud fitment is that if I do convert to a Nissan or a Honda again, it'll have the 5x114 fitments! Do like the wheels though!

Akuma77 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Yeah by paypal.. they are $1.50 a set of 6, so $4.50 for 3 lots then the postage was $4 I think? I'm not sure, once I had it all in the basket I just clicked pay by GBP and not US and it came to £7 something. I am not going to pay £8.50 for one set when I can get 3 sets for less.. so I'll support whatever is more convenient and cheaper if the same quality. so alex do you have to find bolts to go on the end of them to hold engine plastics etc or do they come with nuts too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James7 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 To get them to hold the engine plastics you would need to weld nuts to the mounting brackets underneath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex991 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 so alex do you have to find bolts to go on the end of them to hold engine plastics etc or do they come with nuts too I think you mis understand mate. The plastics surrounding the engine bay I use normal plastic clips. The anodised bolts and washers replace the bolts holding the VVTLI cover to he head. Also I replaced a couple of 10mm bolts holding the headlights in and the wings etc. I will try to get a pic up at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
