[s-cars] question about pic [was: Spark plug thread refurbishing]

Hi Taka,

Yeah, I noticed those center caps are different.  It makes them look like they are something else.  But the wheel bolts look real enough, and the shape of the spokes look authentic too.  If those are knockoffs, then I wouldn't mind knowing what they are anyways.  The LLTek website doesn't show them in the wheel section.

By low offset, do you mean those wheels on the car aren't runnable, or a lower offset than those?  Is the situation any better/different on a 200q20v (with G60's).  I imagine it's exactly the same, since the strut housings are supposedly the same as an urS4. 

I would like some lip around that size on my 200q20v, but when I look at the multi-piece wheels for it, such as BBS, the lip is much smaller (i.e. not really there IMO).  The RK single piece wheels look better, because there is a lip between the spokes, but at the spokes they are still shallow.  I may just get some A4 Bolero's in 35m offset.

Cheers,

Ken
