dbr11k Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Posted March 15, 2009 found some new rims today the fella only wanted a hundred for the set so i couldnt pass it up, i need a half decent set of wheels for the time being... not sure of sizes but i measured them and overall diameter was 15 so i'm guessing there 14's.. and there 7" wide.. no markings any were though they look like aungers can any one on here tell me how i measure offset ? also got some ra40's, put them in as soon as they show up lol Quote
trav_555 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 probs around +15 if there 14s as they look like they have same dish as my new 14's but sorry i don't know how to measure offset Quote
dbr11k Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Posted March 15, 2009 ah right cheers, i was thinking bout painting the black bits gold, what you reckon? Quote
trav_555 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 Thats an estimate for offest could even be closer to +10..dunno gold centres would look real nice, just don't do it cheaply :lolcry: Quote
Roo Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 ah right cheers, i was thinking bout painting the black bits gold, what you reckon? leave it as is, gold hotwires don't look so good Quote
dbr11k Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) ah righty thanks for the oppinions guys. i restored the one in the pic tonight.. took me about 2 hours lol but come up real nice, had a heap of gutter rash and a small crack on the inside that i tig welded up. can't wait to get some decent rubber on them Edited March 15, 2009 by dbr11k Quote
adam-__- Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 To find offset, measure entire width, lip to lip. Find the centre (divide the lip to lip measurement), measure how far the mounting of the face is from this centre, that is your offset. I'll draw it out for you if that doesn't make any sense to you.. Quote
dbr11k Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Posted March 16, 2009 na your right matey thanks for that ay :lolcry: there roughly 18cm wide...so what does that mean there offset is 9cm ? or am i doing it wrong? Quote
bLinded_ Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 This is what Adam means but in a picture: Quote
dbr11k Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) ah i see a bit better now lol.. well they fit snug any ways.. there about half an inch from the gaurds i just measured them then and i got about 2cm.. what does that mean? got some rubber coming soon when i get a bit more money.. i bought some doof today, couldnt help my self, and started making a custom boot enclosure.. just gotta make a false floor and ill go from there using 6mm mdf never done it before so don't tease my handy work lol bandpass enclousure with two 12's... they just fit ha ha.. needs a decent mono block amp because the one i got is clipping bad at the moment I'm running two 6x9s in a custom parcel shelf (custom cause i trimmed it my self lol) with two tweeters in the b pillars (splits in the boot) and two 10 cm clarion 2 ways in the standard spot, with 2 cheap arse "boss" amps Edited March 16, 2009 by dbr11k Quote
adam-__- Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 If you measured it correctly and got 2cm or 20mm, that'll be your offset. Rim diameter by width with an offset of +20mm. Quote
