Sup,
I Finally got my Black Te's and i went through the problem of thinking they were fake but now after some good research thanx to the search button on the site i found out there perfectly real. I have a new problem now i have a 93 hatch with my lug pattern is 4x100 the volks are stamped 4x100 but last nite when i went to put em on to see how they looked they dont fit WTF? I emailed Mackin Industries and asked them there opinion and i was wondering what you guys thought any info or opinions would be helpful i guess thanx peace.

 

wrong offset?

 

How dont they fit? The lug pattern is off? You cant get them all the way onto the lugs? What?

the offset will not affect the wheel being put on... it affects how much it sticks out or doesn't stick out from the hub....

 

Sup,
The offset is fine +42 it is the lug pattern. I can only get 1 stud on through the wheel i am really confused because i spent 900$ bucks for these rims i always wanted and now i gotta worry bout this stuff. I am gonna get my buddy with an accord to come over i think they are 4x114 or whatever lug pattern the accord is. Thanx alot though keep it comin peace.

 

they probably stamped the wrong lug pattern on there.. sux

 

What do the Rays stickers say? There should be a sticker on the inside of each wheel that also says the manufactuer date, offset, lug patern wheel size and width etc. Do you have any pics of the wheels. How were you able to determine they are authentic?

I've seen other wheels with the wrong bolt pattern cast into the wheel before.

 

Sup,
I just put them on my buddy's 96 accord and they fit so they are stamped 4x100 and they fit on an accord i dont know what to do now. ya just posting that they for sure arent for my civic. peace

 

excuse me for just givin my input...lol

stamped or sticker? if it's a sticker, the guy probably just got the sticker from some 4x100 volks and stuck it on some 4x114 knockoffs. pics?

 

Either........get 4x100's, or do a 4 lug swap for the 114.5mm lug spacing.

 

Sup,
There are no stickers they are stamped REFG and i confirmed that they were real because of the offcentered lugs along the spokes. They are stamped 4x100 and i cant get them on my car. I have 4x100 wheels on now and, about 5 hrs ago i put em on my buddys accord. I got money back from the guy so as i am standing now i paid 700 for volks which is good but i dont think it would be worth it do get an accord hub conversion or anything. What else could i possibly do? Peace

its cause i advertize HT on my car.

 

true that...ive been debating on buying some of those decals

 

get a 4x114 96 ITR brake connversion...

 

take it back to the place u bought it and get the right ones. U should enjoy the rims with ur current setup, not change everything just to put on the rims. Makes no sense to spend more $$. Well i guess if u got the bling to buy volks, then u can do whatever u want.

 

your best bet is too do a a hubb conversion but i don't think its worth it 2 do a 114...if u love these wheels then u ahoulld because these are they wheels that u love...IMO opionion i wouldn't do i thtough.

 

Sup,
I do love the wheels but, on the other hand i don't have the money to afford a conversion. I saved up a long time to get these wheels ****..it took me 8 months to afford my ITR swap. How much do you think a hub conversion would cost? I most likely will try and sell them. I wanted to do a 5 lug conversion so i guess ill just work on getting that now Peace.

Sell them and then buy the wheels again with the right offset. Ask the seller to verify they are actually 4x100 before they are shipped. If you love the wheels and worked that hard to get them man don't settle for something else.

The offsets not the prob.... sell'em and get another set.
