Title: Thema alloys on a Beta...?
Post by: spud on November 14, 2009, 03:57:48 PM
Hi all,
Anyone know if they'll fit? What width/offset are the 15" Thema wheels?

i have a feeling that I once saw a car with them fitted but can't think why you'd want to if it's the shiny flat ones same as a dedra or do you mean the early ones like delta 1300 alloys? ..but I think they were 14 inch. I think most wheels fitted to later cars don't have a deep enough dish to look their best on a beta. If you find a set you want to use the offset should be cast into them somewhere

This is a standard "sunfire wheel" that was modified for my Gamma (basically I took an anglegrider to it)

EH?? What did you do that for? ??? :o ;D

No, just standard Thema wheels. There was some on the bay, that's all. I quite liked 'em. I'm just trying to widen the track on my HPE as cheaply as possible because the standard wheels sit waaaay too far in for my liking. My son has some Maserati Biturbo 14s that look great but because the backspace is a lot less they sit just too far out at the front. He thought it looked cool but he's 18 so what can I say  ::). They fit perfectly at the back though. I have some Montecarlo S2 alloys so I may end up fitting those but that'll only push 'em out by around half an inch; probably be perfect on the front but still too far in at the back... I might fit spacers at the rear.

two reasons:
a) because I could
b) because I wanted something different
3) because I really like polished flat alloys on a black car
