Have you checked the inside of the wheels? I believe the 16" direct fit Ultraleggera wheels are ET16 IIRC so quite possible they are the same.  ________________________________________ I Live for the 306 TEAM CHERRY PINK RALLYE 2008 BMW ///M 320d |

i bought a set of 16"'s for £150 without tires don't really need a refurb so I'm guessing between £200 and £250 if there the same as mine then there et37 spacers are required!  ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |

Are these spacers? If so then they are welded/ bonded to the wheels.  ________________________________________ Beef Beyond Belief |

ET should be stamped in the rim between the spokes. If not, probably on the reverse.________________________________________  |

They are indeed, even more annoying when you have to roll the car forward to get behind the calipers. Thanks for the advice. I wash mine once a week, if you could give me the name of that product I would be greatful.  ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi 6 (Standard) SoldPhase 3 Supercharged China GTi 6 (249.8 BHP) Sold Phase 3 Supercharged Diablo GTi 6 (443 BHP)Sold Nissan 350Z (300 BHP) |

I used it regularly on some mint 106 Rallye steels for a good year and they maintained a perfect finish with no issues with the paint. I tried it on some mi16 wheels too first. It's really smooth/ fine past and you only need a lil bit. ________________________________________ Beef Beyond Belief |

They are spacers, because they are made from inferior alloy it degrades and bonds to the rim. Just make sure you have long wheel bolts fitted.________________________________________ Team Supercharged Gti-6NV Motorsport Automotive Performance Tuning 0121 448 7515 ECU Remapping/ DPF removal VAG/BMW Diag and Option Coding Peugeot Planet ECU coding/transponder programming etc www.nvmotorsport.com Facebook Page Project S6 |
