Dare v5 18" #15900 31/12/2005 03:21 31/12/2005 03:21

Anonymous Unregistered A	Fitted these today - perfect fit in every way, no spacers or other adjustments needed. They come as PCD 4x98, and even the locating bolts remain intact on the hubs with these wheels. Will get some pics up shortly, but just thought I'd let all know that here's another perfect fit option for the Coupe 20v Turbo. Interestingly, comfort hasn't suffered at all, and the handling appears a little tighter and sure-footed.

I got mine from Topgear.co.uk, the chap I spoke to by the name of Paul, seemed quite knowledgable. He said the V5 were specifically Fiat (Coupe) fittment, which they seem to be.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Quote: is x1 the multi spoke? a always liked the V1 & V5, looking forward to seeing the pics X1 is the multi spoke (10 spoke) - not sure about fittment on that one. I know the V1 is only available as a 17" rim, and it only comes as pcd 4 x 100, so wobbly bolts would be needed. As mentioned above, the chap at Topgear, (Paul) who seemed to have some knowledge of the Coupe 20v Turbo fittment wasn't confident that the V1's would fit, as I enquired about these as well as the V5's. It's a shame because I prefer the V1's - but he was dubious about fittment. That said I'm more than happy with the V5's.

I was quoted £799 inc. vat/fitting etc. for 18" Dare X1,but they couldn`t guarantee fitment...and could not get a hold of one to try them out ....nice Italian wheels tho`. The 10 spoke is a nice wheel.oops yes the V5 is lovely too,that didn`t sound right did it ?

Front View Personally, I don't actually think it needs lowering as it seems to sit right, but your opinions are more than welcome and any other comments about the car too.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Tyres are Nankang ones. Had these previously on my Punto GT. Seemed pretty good. Tyre size 215/35 r18 of course. One strange thing, there still seems plenty of room under the arches - particularly the rears. And I even plumped for a lower than the standard offset, pushing the wheels a little further out than the standard. (Offset is et 28 on these rims).

Anonymous Unregistered A	For me the real bonus for these wheels was ease of fit. Perfect 4x98pcd, perfect offset, cleared the brembos.
