Im thinking about getting a set of these for the 5, but im pretty sure the center bore is going to be 57.1mm and renault are 60.1mm just wondering what people done about the size differnce can most machine shops sort this? Or can you buy adaptors/spacers?

hmm wont spigot rings sort this, the little plastic/alloy rings that clip onto the centre of the wheels to bring the center bore down.

yeah that would be right if the size were around the other way, basically the hole in the wheels is to small.

ah crap , yea i see. Well im guessin maybe a specific spacer is used to pull then out slight whilst also altering that bore size. If it were me id certainly get a spcaer machined rather than the alloy itself.

yeah Ive just been looking at some Hubcentric wheel spacers that have a 57.1 bore then I surpose you could have the spacers machined on a lathe easy enough, only problem is the wheels im looking at are et28 and the spacers are around the 20mm size.

I've got Ronal R10 Turbo's on mine, I bought them new and didn't have to do any machining. Infact the bore on my wheel is bigger than my hub.

I've always wanted those for my 5 as well... PICTURES PLEASE! :D
Are they 7J wide with an ET of 28 or 37? Did you have to modify anything for them to fit?

Niiiiice! My 5 is also red, so now I have a good image on how they would look on my car! But still: what's the ET? Any modifications required for fitting those wheels?

Heres mine ET is 37 and they went straight on no problems, is it possible they do them with different bore sizes? Tried to google them and found one site saying it was 64mm and another said 68mm. Doesn't say anything on the Ronal site, but I'm sure you could e-mail them and ask just to be safe.
