The threads for the center caps in the wheels have been guesstimated at 5/16-18. Well they're that now. Where the fuck am I going to find bolts that size... Should've just jammed the M8 tap there instead.
Also the center caps are receiving a bit of a freshen up, polishing the chrome and repainting the silver bits.

Yes, I think the centers on there make it look better even if they don't fit perfectly.

235/75r15 seems to be an odd size over here, small selection and kinda pricy. Most options are All Terrains or dummy expensive, so basically the choice was down to Vitour, Nankang and Linglong. Nankangs and Vitours were both about 40€ more per tire and were whitewalls. The Linglong GreenMax Ecotouring tires I got were 93€ a piece. Supposedly they are a good tire for the price, the unbalancedness just doesn't strike the confidence in me yet.Last edited by Arquemann; 05-07-2023, 02:39 PM.

Have seen wheels throwing weights here too. As long as they were properly installed you should not any problems.

Personally, I like it MUCH better with center caps! The wheels look easy to keep clean which is an added bonus. As long as the rims balance well, you've got a winning situation.

Another thing I dunno if it looks shit or not. I'm kinda cheap so it wouldn't be a bad choice.
The stupid chinese knockoff Outlaws have completely random center bores. The car's center bore is 78,3mm, but the wheels have something a bit-too-much larger and without the adapter ring its big enough to put a fist through it. But the 9C1 center caps would bolt on.

need a center cap of some sort, those hubs sticking through the hole mess with the look.

Sommarhjuls aka summer wheels are on! Took long enough...
I'm torn, I dunno if they look okay or if they look like shit. Needs new lugnuts anyways.

The blasting and powdercoating was a hundo, end result is definitely what you'd expect for a quarter or a third of what most places price it at. Garbage.
Old shitty chinesium wheels and cheap tires, wheelweights galore.
