Its not new to anyone who knows me that i'm always surrounded by lovely old wheels, refurbishing, buying and selling etc etc, and a lot of that was born out of my own interest in proper retro and classic wheels, but struggling to find the styles i like best in suitable PCD stud patterns, sizes, etc to bolt to an array of Alfa's over the years.
This became a personal determination to make the most of whats available, and not have the VW lads have all the fun and the best styles, and this led to all manner of engineering thoughts, ideas, and designs. Some triumphant, some less successful, but i do have a "never be beaten" kind of approach and believe that you can fit any wheel to any car, with enough work and application, and this has led to some pretty wild car and wheel set ups! all within the boundaries of good taste of course
Anyway, to cut to the chase, i have made some excellent but long suffering contacts and friends in engineering and machining etc over years of messing with wheels and parts, and aswell as the usual refurbishing i do, i can also offer these services commercially now.
First of which, is spacers and adaptors.
A common part for most folk over the years, notoriously associated with the Carlos Fandango's amongst us, but more importantly, they can allow us to fit wheels of a different stud pattern to what our cars are currently equipped with, opening up a whole different world of options.
These are my first creations under the new arrangement, and these are to fit a friends Pug 206 gti hubs, which are 4 x 108 pcd, and allow us to fit a wheel i had that he fell in love with, that is 4 x 100 pcd and a completely different offset and centre bore.
and once the fit is finalised i'm going to powder coat the adaptors in a matching gold to look like an extension of the actual wheel.
As a custom made adaptor, it has been machined to be a precise internal fit to the Pugs hub protrusion, and internal bore of the wheel centre, so this eliminates the use of any spigot rings or other parts required to accurately centre the wheel prior to bolting up, which will be done via a full stud conversion and tuner nuts in the instance.
If anyone should require any of these hubcentric spacers, pcd adaptors, or work done to their hubs, wheels and parts, then just holla.
Alternatively, if you just want to throw some idea's around, then use this thread to discuss and we'll see if we can't come up with a method of fitting your dream rims!
