You can find it in the owner's manual. :)

but which range of wheels fit our car??

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=9120192306&
looking at these, with my limited chinese, i can make out
19" 5x114.3 dunno about offset

I found BBS in 18” 5*108 5*114.3
would that fit?

also do M12*1.5 lug nuts fit?

Guys, has anyone notice/research/installed this: http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...Prod=69-0026TS

Do you think this will be better than Injen or Takeda etc?

The reason is my bro in law bday comin up, and since he drove my old CU2 now, I want to buy him something for bday present.

All I know is, 5x114.3 are for our cars. I don't even know what 'M12*1.5' means...
Anyways, Not sure what offset those 19" wheels are but in the pics, I see they're 18x8.
Also, I don't know what the "5*108" is.. Maybe that's a PCD for another car?

Edit: Some pro correct me if I'm wrong :S

Edit2: Unless those rims are 19" but it just looks like 18"... but whatever, it's still 18x8/19x8

M12 is the thread pattern
1.5 is the bolt diameter.

These 2 variables varies from car to car. So when you purchase your wheels, make sure the bolt holes suits the bolt diameter.

5X108 is just another PCD. in this case, if they have 5x108 and 5x114.3 PCDs, it means the wheels have double pcd to suit the 2 types.

So... different rims, different diameter? But all patterns for the CU2 are M12?

PCD = Pitch Circle Diameter.

in other words, they are just the spacing of the bolts where the wheels mount to them.
no matter what wheel you buy, you will have to get them with PCD: 5 x 114.3.
and each of the bolts are M12 x 1.5

just did the first mod ever on my euro.. black grille and black roof :D

maybe i shud do the same..ill get a black roof woot!

Posted this in another thread and helps to explain the offset in a visual way (in addition to showing the profile of different tyres).

Cheers

Oh yeah, I just learnt about the PCD of our cars being 5x114.3 but just wasn't sure of our bolts. So if I'm looking to buy lugs for my rims in the future, M12 x 1.5 are what I'm after?

And nice visconti! I got my roof in 3M vinyl cause I couldn't make up my mind and I thought I might want to remove it in the future or whatever reason lol. I initially also wanted to do my grill black as well but not 100% sure if I still want to do it.

Just out of curiosity, how did you do yours? Vinyl? Professionally painted matte black/gloss black?
