dscam 0 Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Hi folks,I'm desperate to get hold of a set of Antera 123 alloys. They've not been around for 5 years I reckon but I'd take a set in any condition to have refurbed tbh.Seen a set on the Bay but PCD is 112 - damn it! I need 5*100.If anybody knows of a set or where I could get some I would be extremely grateful! Pic for reference: Link to post Share on other sites
crish72 0 Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Why not get the set on ebay and buy some PCD adaptors?Problem solved :-)Chris Link to post Share on other sites
dscam 0 Posted October 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 How easy/effective are the PCD adaptors? I have read of people having problems with these...If it can be done then I would be delighted! Link to post Share on other sites
crish72 0 Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Can't speak personally but plenty on here have them.If i was you and wanted the rims badly then that's the route i would go..Chris Link to post Share on other sites
dscam 0 Posted October 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Thanks for the advice Zorro. Anybody recommend suitable, quality PCD adapters then that will do the job? Link to post Share on other sites
badboyV6 4 Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 I have some for mine - no problesm whatsoever. FK or H&R. Venom motorsport also do them. Link to post Share on other sites
jezmoz 0 Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 have em on mine as well, 20mm h&r adaptors, will depend on what the ET and width of the rims as well though Link to post Share on other sites
dscam 0 Posted October 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 fourmotion & jezmoz - thanks very much for the advice on this.The wheels are ET 35 and 7.5 wide...any idea what size adapters I should be going for? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 I also have H&R adaptors on for my Porka rims. Never had a problem at all.And i'd go wwith either 15 or 20mm adaptors. Depends if you have had any arch work done Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 If theyre et35 you're going to need some arch work as with 20mm adaptors they'll be et15! Link to post Share on other sites
dscam 0 Posted October 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 I hear what you are saying guys....great advice.So how do I know which adapters to go for, 15 or 20mm? The arches at present are totally stock. The et on the Antera's is 35.I've never had to have arch work done to fit wheels before so I'm kinda slow on what's involved exactly. Can someone give me a layman's guide and possibly a recommendation on people that'll do the work?I'm in central Scotland if that helps geographically. Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 If theyre et35 you're going to need some arch work as with 20mm adaptors they'll be et15!And like i say Justin it "....depends if you have had any arch work done" as I run et 15 quite easy and low.dscam- arch work really should be left to people that know what they are doing as in Body shops Link to post Share on other sites
crish72 0 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Arch work would basically involve removing or rolling the inner lip of the arch.Effectively removing the chance of the tyre hitting it when lowered.Chris Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 And like i say Justin it "....depends if you have had any arch work done" as I run et 15 quite easy and low.dscam- arch work really should be left to people that know what they are doing as in Body shopser that'll be why I said 'you'll need arch work' I didnt say you couldnt run et15... we're saying the same thing so Im not sure I see your point?dscam, H&R do 20mm adaptors for 5x112 > 5x100 (I've not seen 15mm ones in that stud pattern) To do the arches properly you need to find a good bodyshop and get the lips inside the arches flattened and the panels repainted... you might also have to have them pulled out a bit as well. Depending on the bodyshop could cost anything from £100-£250 a corner Link to post Share on other sites
dscam 0 Posted October 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Thaks fellas, really appreciate you knowledge and advice on this one....as I say, it's new territory for me.The car is getting a full respray anyway so I can hopefully incorporate the arch rolling into the job.I've checked out the H&R site and their stuff looks top quality. Any UK stockists at a good price for the PCD adapters? Link to post Share on other sites
