Don't you mean 4x108?

 

hes pre-88

 

That makes a difference?

I want that bolt pattern! I have found more wheels in that pattern that the stupid 4x108 pattern I have.

And OP, if you want a nice selection of rare wheels and aren't afraid to spend a little.... try this.

http://www.memoryfab.com/wheels/

Used JDM wheels, some are 4x114.3 and they are all cool.

 

All of the wheels on that page are stupid expensive for used wheels particularly considering they didn't come off of a Ferrari... why not just buy new ones off TireRack or whatever for the same money, or indeed, 1/3 as much?

 

These for example.

Oh yeah.

Totally c900 right here.

These are all available, used from Memoryfab right now.

 

i love those last ones!! i saw some similar ones on a green mk3 jetta in a eurotuner feature a couple years back. when i get an airflow, it's gonna be slammed on some of those with slightly stretched tires. perfect...

 

Those TE-37s get me all tingly in the pants.

I'd really love to have a set in bronze for my Miata.

 

i wish i had the cash for rays wheels....thats lightweight and strong....i think im goin with rota rb's for my spg...affordable and decent

 

when looking for 4 x 114.3, the trick is two fold, search for 4 x 4.50 which is identical, and search for a more common newer car that uses that bolt pattern, like a 2000 Volvo s40

 

Me likey those white rally looking things...what are they called?

 

They are a Volk wheel of some sort. TE37, maybe.

 

Every wheel on that site is rare and unique.


Tire rack is easy, sure...but some people want more than that.

 

I only looked a bit but I didn't see anything that struck me as "gotta have it", perhaps the model is discontinued but some other company is making a wheel that looks almost identical, somewhere in China

Is it possible to fit Corvette wheels to a 900? One can buy for like 900 bucks on ebay a set of reproductions with the tires installed

I have looked into this.

Nobody will make 4x108 to 5 bolt adaptors except for those super huge air-cooled VW 5 bolt wheels.

There are 4x100 to 5 bolt Corvette patterns, but when I asked why the same company doesn't make 4x108 to the same 5 bolt pattern, I was told that extra 8mm in our bolt circle is too much interference.

So if you wan to go with the adaptor route you can do 4x108 to other 4 bolt sizes like 4x100, 4x98, and 4x114.3 if you like those wheels on Memoryfab.

 

I found some wheels I am probably picking up this weekend. Look for pics in my build thread.

 

smaart aas has been in the Canadian cold for too long....those white 5-spokes are hot!!!

 

I know why 4x108 to 5x110 is difficult, because there is only a 2mm PCD difference, so one of the lug holes overlaps slightly.

The odd thing is that there is a 8mm difference in PCD between 4x108 and 4x100...so I can see them claiming to be able to do 4x100 to 5x110, as the PCD is 10mm larger. So if we use that as a base line as 10mm difference being needed to go from 4 lug to 5 lug then I don't get why we couldn't at LEAST get 4x108 to 5x130, or even 5x120.

Oh well, just use a 4x100 adapter if you want to open up the selection a bit more. Plenty of wheels in that size.

 

But I was looking at Porsche wheels as well (5x130) and I still got the no, they will interfere responce. But the same companies that told me that also make 4x100 to 5x130 adaptors.

I don't get it.

 

You can always just use aftermarket/other type calipers and even discs... that said it's difficult to implement a parking brake

The advantage to the old front-emergency brake design, was that the brake actually works as an emergency brake... the rear-handbrake type and most other cars with similar things, is as useful as tits on a bull to stop the car... the problem of course is the stupid front brake design jams up or gets loose with time.

I don't know about that, I've driven using only the c900 rear handbrake after a brake failure, it's actually not that bad.

One nice advantage to the front handbrake is that you can us it like a "poor mans LSD" if you are having trouble in the snow.

 

Well, I purchased my wheels today. They need some TLC, but I am up for it.

Here is a photo of what the wheels could look like when I am done with them. Right now they are dirty and stained with brake dust and there is a bit of curb rash to remove.

 

DeLorean Wheels?

They look interesting anyway

 

No, they are early fox body Mustang wheels. The ones I picked up came off of a 1987 GT.

 

It'll be different, that's for sure.

 

I'm digging the deep-dish look. Saw a lot of that at the car museum yesterday.

 

I'll try to get them cleaned up soon and take pics next to the car.

 

Maybe it needed to be adjusted?

 

I'm tempted to get white letter tires for these wheels.

 

Yes. You must do this.

Yes.

 

^ 2nd that

 

Ok, I just need to find white letter tires that are small enough.

 

Suppose you have a choice between these wheels:

FWD offset (+40 IIRC?), 17x7.5"

16x8 RWD 15mm offset, 64.1mm centrebore.

Offset ~17mm, 16x7.5"

All 4x108 - which do you choose for a... oh, I don't know... let's just say a burgundy c900 vert.

I think I've made my choice, just want to know what you lot think.

Can ya guess which ones I like?

Oh yes, they are all minty-fresh NOS and the 'leftovers' will be listed for sale here once I get some prices from the current owner.

 

Offset ~17mm, 16x7.5"

Chris,

I am instructing you to buy these.

That is all.

 

The third set is the least ugly.
