alync406 4 Posted May 18, 2008 As the title really, has anyone ever heard of these being available in the peugeot et of 15-20... or am i just dreaming. I had a set of OZ Titans on a 306 and they came with a spacer kit from Oz to make them fit.I think they were ET42 with 26mm spacers,which made them ET16 but i got another 3mm machined of the spacers to make it ET19. I expect that the Superleggeras probably come the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR20516V 6 Posted May 18, 2008 I have a set of them on my 205. Yes they do come in the 205's offset. 18 from memory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainK 11 Posted May 19, 2008 I almost bought a set of the Super-leggies earlier this year. But decided against it as I had no money. Didn't think they were rare for a Pug? Was at Japfest over the weekend and found lots of the lightweight alloys I thought were "jap only" were actually done in Pug fitment. I expected the guy to laugh at me when I asked if they'd fit a 205. But he said yeah, that'd be fine. Some of these alloys weighed virtually nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainK 11 Posted May 20, 2008 how light can you go before you start sacrificing strength tho? you don't want to end up with 20p shaped wheels after a week Its the same stuff that the professionals use. Hardly knew I lifted it up. Each wheel was a fair few hundred. Can't remember the exact details of what it was made from. But cool stuff anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kyepan 291 Posted May 20, 2008 do you have any details of the names and makes my old red mags from the pulsar weighed 4.6 kilo's each.. super super light Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AdamP 0 Posted May 20, 2008 Alloy wheels are a mixture of aluminium and magnesium in different quantities. More aluminium = more weight but less brittle More magnesium = less weight but more britte. You curb a high magnesium content wheel and it'll shatter, which is why manufacturers avoid putting much, if any, any road wheels. That's the main difference between the rally, road and race versions of compomotive / revolution wheels. A lot of the really light jap wheels have a lot of magnesium in them, and are often marked 'for racing use only' or similar. I've seen the result of a magnesium F1 wheel hitting a concrete barrier and there was very little plastic deformation at all! You could put the pieces back together like a jigsaw puzzle, and that isnt something you want on a road wheel! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simes 248 2 Cars Posted May 21, 2008 A neighbour of mine offered me a set of these to put on our 206, 17" though. Interested? pm me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glass wheels not good. as i do give them a hammering down some less than smooth country lanes. Regarding the 17's for sale, i'm on the hunt for a set of fifteens, but thanks for thinking of me. Fifteens with probably 45 profile so they have a bit of spring in them to cushion the wheels. J Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
