Gary - yes, I have sold out on triple spokes. If I could get a set like the ones on the TWR developed NG900 Viggen prototypes, I would. But in lieu of that... [and actually, while your wheels DO belong on a Porsche or BMW, they DO look good... :) ]
Ubipa - before the crash, we were discussing some of the technicalities. I dropped by the tire shop today armed with a spare 14mm wheel bolt. Fitted it to an OZ wheel and it was okay, the holes were more like 15mm. So I don't think drilling will be required, and my first choice for wheels, the OZ Crono Evolution, seems to be doable. Now to find the budget...
I think I will avoid the H&R spacers though, they only go to 5mm; will go for the Speedparts 8mm ones instead. That should bring it out to near optimal - the Crono's offset in 4x108 is 42mm. Hopefully Taliaferro or Engstrom will no have trouble bringing the spacers in?
Kevin Yangton, did you get the spacers from Speedparts directly or...? Also, do you have part numbers for the H&R stud kit? Are there any issues with the stud conversion kit, as in bottoming them out or possibility of them coming out?
Hacked together a picture. Thanks everyone for thoughts.
