17" wheels

[steve963]

bought some 17`s 225 R40 off a mate for £50 with 3 brand new hannook tyres, which I though was a good deal

problem is I can only just get the socket in, basically it fits like a piston

can you get smaller diameter wheel bolts for the studs?

by the way wheels weigh 10kg withough tyres, not the lightest, and they are a bit larger in diameter than the std wheels

will they be any good or am I best putting em on ebay

yes you can, theres a few options

you can get 19mm bolt head as suppose the standard 21mm.

or you can get the type that you use an allen key style socket to put them on, will find a link now
