Apologies but I don't understand what the numbers mean


7 16 .7.5/17 439.92
7 16. 8.0/17 448.32 rear et33
7 16 9.0/17 472.32 et from 23to 45


If someone could explain I'd be gratefulPosted Image


I have the TMS spec rims and would like the same again. From the TMS website:
Developed directly between TMS and Rimstock, these are the only wheels in the world specifically designed for the VX220 and Opel Speedster. The front wheel has been designed with a 20mm offset to widen the front track a little and give better front end grip, this also allows plenty of clearence for the AP Racing 4 POT Brake Kit.

Weighing in at only 7.3kg\'s the front wheel saves over 3kg\'s in weight over standard so turn in is far better. The 16\" size means a wider choice of tyres can be used including track tyres such as the Toyo R888 and the Yokohama AO48.

They are all direct fitment.i will still use spiggot rings though.

How are you going to use spigot rings if they're a direct fit? :unsure:

I would be up for a set of these, does anyone have any pictures of silver / Anthracite on a yellow VX still with the silver windscreen surround? Plenty of Anthracite pictures on coral but none on yellow I can find.
