Spigot rings to fit VW alloys to Volvo 3xx/4xx

Post by 480_rocket » Mon Sep 24, 2007 3:34 pm

Anyone want any, because my friend works in a plastics company, and is going to CNC me some and it makes sense to do a batch.

Its to fit the 57.1mm centre bore VW alloys to the volvo 52.1mm centre bore, which its dangourous to do without spigot rings.

VW wheels are 4x100, at least on early mk1/mk2 golfs and other VW from that era.

There plenty of nice alloys that are for golfs that would look good on the 480, mainly because of keeping in style of the mid to late eighties I think.

For a set of 4 I think about £20 inc P&P which is good value for money, not much more than the mass produced rings on ebay. I'll update the post as my friend should be giving me a sample to try tomorrow.

OK, got the sample today, and it looks very strong and well CNC'd. So anyone want any? Most likely I'll get a few done, and then ebay them if no interest on here. Maybe a post on 300mania would be worth a go.
