Acorn bulge it the wider seat on left, acorn is on right. Both have 60 degree conical seat. If you are buying for aftermarket wheels you probably want acorn, but for OEMs you want acorn bulge because the acorns concentrate the clamping force over too small a surface area.
I think Gorilla uses the term acorn bulge. Some other brands call it acorn flare I think. I think McGard is a great brand, I don’t care what brand you get.
Anyone got a solid 1/2 drive deep socket the recommend? My torque wrench is 1/2in and I really don’t wanna buy another just for lugs. Quick google didn’t show any 12/in drive to 19mm or 3/4inch sockets for taking the lugs off. Stock lugs
Follow up to that^ does anyone who already has a set of gorilla know what’s size socket they need?
They are holding up fine. Have been having problems with wheel balancing after changing tires and a brake service. They've seen at least 4 wheel change cycles at 4 different places with who knows how good suckets and pneumatic pistols and they look like new.
Since a lot of members here started driving (and modifying) their RS, it would be useful to share information about aftermarket 18" wheels that fit to RS.
If you successfully fit yours, please share your rim information.
Or, if you want to know the figment of particular rim, put the make/name...
Checked the Forum to see if there were any wheel pic thread with no luck so here it is. Hopefully we can help members with pics and information.
Please include:
Wheel Brand
Wheel Sizes (offsets)
Tire Brand
Tire Sizes
Suspension if available
Set of 4 Pirelli tires for sale, only have 3,000 miles on them. Look like new.
Excellent dry handling and really make a difference in the slippery stuff.
235/35 R19
No longer have my RS and can sell these cheap.
Asking $500 for all 4.
They retail for $256 per tire on tire rack.
It's like 50%...
Didn’t like the look of the stock RS winter wheels on my red RS. Decided to platidip them with 4 coats of gunmetal gray dip and two coats of glossifier.
The new look suits the red and black theme much better. And it can be easily removed if I grow tired of it.
Will it work? Will either run michelin as3s or Bridgestone re980as. I know guys run them on 40 offset wheels but with 10mm less to work with...thoughts?
