young un Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 thanks a lot by the way does he have a website steve
payne'e Posted February 10, 2007 Author Report Posted February 10, 2007 no worries. not sure on a website
young un Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 looks like a trip to stratford is in order steve
cortinapaul Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Nice wheels, bet there not cheep
payne'e Posted February 10, 2007 Author Report Posted February 10, 2007 the wheels cost £33 delivered for both sets, which i think isn't a bad price as they are very good quality
cortinapaul Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Do the tyres come with them? seems a good price mate
payne'e Posted February 10, 2007 Author Report Posted February 10, 2007 yeah tyres come with them.you can have slicks or treaded and you can have the wheels centric or ecentric to allow the wheels to make the car lower
young un Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 centric or ecentric wat does that mean steve
Wessie Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 hole in the centre or hole on the piss
young un Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 so they put the hole further down in the wheel so that if it were to turn it would lift up the front and then lower it for example steve
young un Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 surely that would make the wheel look bigger at the top then at the bottom or are we only talking mm here steve
Wessie Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 http://www.dalek.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/1 ... on2007.pdf have a look at the top mounts on here, that shows the difference between eccentric and concentric sorry to hijack those wheels look the nuts
young un Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 yep sorry to hijack i know wat it means when you talk about top mounts but model wheels youve lost me so you could never do this on a road cars wheels (ive spent hours traling through the miltons catologue with my dad and dreaming up my anglia) steve
Wessie Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 if you did it on a road car it would be like riding a clowns bike theyre designed for static models so they just sit there and look nice ig you want the car lower you twist the wheel so you get it right
