Bola b1 wheels

[markojay]

Hi I'm looking at a new set of wheels for my car, I'm currently looking at a set of Bola b1s. Has anyone got these fitted or know what offset would be best? Offsets available are et30 - et40, 8.5 wide. I'm lowered on Eibach springs

Here's a link to them here cheers

Very nice, got a jap look too them, but should look good on the leon.

Yea that's what I was thinking!

Look like Rota Grid Drifts ....wasn't Jake running these? Or very similar at least? He should be able to advise

 

[markojay]

Is that the guy with the yellow leon? I'll have a look on his thread

 

[Robbo-K1]

That's the one mate! Private reg on it too, the wheels did look awesome on his!

They were a similar colour too, if not the same!

He'll more than likely pop up on here soon

I imagine ET40 8.5 wide is the way to go? anyone else fitted this size? any rubbing issues?

 

[sambryant]

I have a set of the on the way. 8.5" et30 in gun metal.
I would love a set of 9.5 but don't think they will fit the fronts.

 

[markojay]

Cool! Will the et30 Not stick out too much?

 

[sambryant]

I'm keen for a concave look, the issue with running high et is the rims hitting the shocks. If this is the case you will need spacers and that will bring the wheels out anyway. My current wheels are 7.5 et 45 and I only just clear the shocks by a few mm.

Fair point I'm going to order mine tomorrow at a local alloy wheel specialist what size tyres you mounting?

I was gonna buy a set but I hate any kind of poke and the rears just stick out a bit to far of the arches for my liking.

225. I will eventually run 215 but still have plenty of life in my current tyre. I ordered mine with bola direct but currently out of stock. Due in any day now.

 

[markojay]

Yes that's what size tyres I have too gonna run them as well for now, stick up some pics when you get them on and I'll do the same
