My car is currently running the standard 155 16" Speedlines in grey. They are looking very tired with laquer and paint peeling off. I think I want to stay with 16" as the tyres are almost new, has anyone any opinions of what can be had for reasonable prices ?

Like a refurbishment? A good job back to "like new" would cost about £60 a wheel :)

Or are you thinking of changing wheels all together?

I am thinking about a full replacement, but not sure what other owners have tried.

155s need a classic sort of alloy, never been kene on wheels that are usually seen on Japanese cars :wink:

These are the ones I like

They are the newer version of what I have, as wrinx says, PITA to keep clean, doubles the time it takes to wash the car, do look nice though! :D

A very nice wheel, I had similar white alloys on my 156...never again, they are a bugger to keep clean!

Hard to find inn 4*98 et-35 7.5-17?

4x98 will fit if you use "wobble bolts" :)

Oh I like Zender Milanos veeeeery much, just that something is telling me they are not as agressive as a Q4 wants. It seems to me these beatiful rims are a little bit elegant. But this shouldn't stop me from buying a set.
What do you guys think of them?

They are a lovely wheel but they are more at home on a 164 or S/RZ IMO

I can't recognize this wheels, think it might be the Speedline Corse but I'm not sure. Can you guys help me with this?

Thanks,

I think they are Compomotive MO's with a dished face.

i was trying to get hold of some zender milano's. which is impossible. some guy is making some, but they are expensive, u can order them. a previous q4 owner here in norway told me that the original zender milanos actually can't take the weight of the q4, to bad, they are nice:D

they should be TIM Tecnomagnesio but I have not a link for them, try yahoo and you will find the link.
I'll go for a set of them in 17" as 'summer' tyres!!!

I always like Super T's on a 155, prefer them in white though with the red OZ writing.

Nice looking wheels with a Blue Q4. Is that a tow bar mount at the back I can see ?

Thank you..
Proud of it too :)

Yes it is a tow bar mount you see, it was mounted by the previous owner in Germany. And I see no need to remove it again (though i am not ever gonna use it), since the work is done ok and so is the finish.. :)

Hi, guys.

Do you think it is possible to mount on 155 Q4 wheels that have 57,1mm central bore ? It's about some 15" OZ 4x100 ET36.

As far as I know the original 155 wheel have ~ 47mm central bore(I will measure the exact dimension).

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Cristian.

na15575

15-01-10, 17:58

the 155Q4 and all 155's has the same bore 58.1mm
A33 and a75 has 58.6mm
57.1mm is a bore from vag group
i hope to help you

Xti

15-01-10, 18:30

Indeed, the 57.1 mm bore wheels are mounted on some VAG right now and I hope 1mm doesn't count that much. At least not as much as the price...

You were realy helpful to me. Thank you, na15575! The beer it's on me.

Cheers,
Cristian.

These also look nice:
Both 17 inch, and 4x98 with 58,1 mm bore.

The newer fiats got 4x98. So a bit more choice these days.:cool:

Also with 17inch you got a better choice of tires. (I got re050 bridgestones wich are not available in 16inch, except for some odd sizes.)

I have these:

Team dynamics pro race 1.2 17inch.

And also fitted with towing hook. (Hiddable unther the rear bumper.) So guilty as charged.:biggrin:

Nice blue wb!

I really like your 155Q4 rims, Jan. I would go for them in the past just that aren't available anymore on 16" (only 17") and the main problem we have here it's about roads conditions which doesn't "match" with low profile tires...

Btw, what size are you using for tires?
Haven't you got any problems fitting the wheels under the wings? Thanks for your suggestions about the wheels.

And no problem with the wheel fitment.
But i have a widebody wich helps, and the car is not extremely low.

Not sure if this could go under a smallbody.

If I want to go for 4x100 rims do I have to change all (4) bolts on each wheel with woble ones?

Or it should be enough for each wheel to stick with 2 originals and change the others with 2 woble bolts? Don't know if those woble bolts would be safe with 15-20 mm spacers. Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
C.

You do want to use four "woble" bolts on each wheel.
You need them align the wheel on the right spot ;)

Marc

02-07-11, 22:55

xti - I think wobble bolts are fine on wheels that are close to standard fitment - but if you need to use 20mm spacers to get the offset that you want then wobble bolts are more of a problem.

Xti

03-07-11, 10:37

I want to offset just the rear wheels because they are 15'' and look (in fact they are) too small on a WB. But I agree with you Jim that 20mm spacers could be too much for wobble bolts. Don't know what to say about 15mm but I think it doesn't change the situation too much...

I like very much the rally-look of these wheels (O.Z. Rally Racing) and they are strong but aren't available on 16''. I didn't found yet other 16'' wheels to be closer to my taste than these 15'' ones .

If I remember, Wrinx was using wobble bolts with 15mm spacers all around. Please give us a feedback, Wrinx. Thank you.

Cheers,
Cristian.

wrinx

04-07-11, 10:11

Yes, that's correct.

So long as you have hubcentric spacers it's just like bolting to the original hub...I haven't had any problems so far.

04-07-11, 17:01

Thanks, wrinx.

I also have though about drilling 4x100 holes too if they would be able to do it at the workshop.

Thanks, wrinx.

I also have though about drilling 4x100 holes too if they would be able to do it at the workshop.

Not enough space for drilling 4x100, the 4x98 holes are already too close to the edge.

Wrinx, are the spacers you have 4x98 ?

Also do you remember how long the shank of the bolts has to be for 15mm spacers? I have measured 35 mm after mounted 3 original (5mm) spacers just for a test.

Thanks again.

Cheers,
C.

06-07-11, 23:50

Yes, 4x98...can't recall how long the bolts where but that will depend on your wheels anyway.

Totally agree, when i swapped the standard speedlines for the Compomotives the regular wheel bolts were 10-15mm too long. Too long to actually clamp the wheel to the hub.

Xti

10-07-11, 23:36

Same in my case...the original (~35mm shank length) bolts were already too long after changing the standard Speedlines with the O.Z. ones. After I have mounted for a test 3x original spacers =>15mm, the 35mm bolts were good.

I have received yesterday the Simoni Racing spacers I 've ordered: 16mm, 4x98 (and 5x98) and they came with standard bolts (not wobble), 46mm long. These guys couldn't get me 35mm or longer wobbles yet, only some 27mm that I wanted for the front wheels (with 1x 5mm original spacer). So I have adjusted the SR standard ones at 35m and put the spacers and wheels on.

Now my Q4 have 16mm spacers at the back, standard bolts. I realy think that the 4x100 wheels does not have a problem with those bolts but will check it very often just to be sure. They were getting just fine to their places and clamped the wheels to the hub as it should. I have some pics from my cell, sorry for the poor quality...

Guys, I realy thank you for advises!
