Right then, you engineering types! I'm having pervy thoughts of slotting a set of Porsche ATS cookie cutters on the TR7, but I don't think they'll bolt straight on  I need to get from 4 x 95.25mm to 5 x 130mm (that's right isn't it?). Is that feasible? Will they look naff, or will I be rockin' a fat one? Next question is - anyone know a good source at a sensible price? Anyone wanna make some for sensible money? Have a pic of my car:  And a pic of some cookie cutters:  Dale |

If you don't do it I'll beat you to death with a wheel adaptor... it would look ace.... and cause a fair few double takes!

ROFLMAO!! ;D ;D
Suppose I'd better do it then! Wrapped in nice fat rubber, and tucked under a set of tarmac arches...

That would look pretty damn awesome. The cookies will be pretty high offset (53 or so I think) so to fill a set of arches out you'll need some chunky adaptors.
Do it!

No don't do arches, just get them tucked into the standard set, will look hamazing.

That would look great imo, and would make a change from MGF wheels. Good luck with adaptors to fit the 7`s pcd though! If it works and you want rid of your existing wheels, then, well, I might take them off your hands for you. As a favour like.  |

Well I reckon a set of one off adapters with new studs and nuts is probably gonna run me the best part of £150 for the four (maybe more cash than that?), so I'd better start looking for some wheels first.
Once I've got the wheels, is anyone able to knock me up a set of engineering drawings if I supply both PCD's and centrebores'? Ideally 'lifesize' so I can print directly to an A4 sheet and make some MDF mock-up adaptors to check the final look before shelling out...
Ta,
Dale

And thanks for the offer gotwood - I'll probably be in touch at some point. Is that your line of business then? |

If its anything like I was looking at you'd be looking at well over 200 / 250 for a set... There is a place that does custom adaptors but cant for the life of me remember the site.

I asked Rayvern about a set of custom adaptors a while back and they said they'd be about £58 each.

As for the price , they'll be a lot less than that Not my line of business , just a little occasional job to sort someone out if no one else can help ( I sound like the A team lol ) ;D |

The really annoying thing is, when I half heartedly looked a few months ago, eBay was rife with cheap cookie cutters. Now, however, guess what..? |
