Revolution RFX five spokes (14in)

Featured Replies

It's a long shot, I know, but I'm after a set of 14x7 Revolution RFX wheels.

Don't have to be mint, or have tyres (actually, prefer them without) - what do you have?

you'd probably be better off asking on a nova sport forum if there is such a thing. vauxhall did a gmds (gm dealer sport) version of the nova fitted with revo rfxs for rallying

Good call - I've got a model of a rally Nova on the shelves in my office (part of the McRae tribute collection) and that's wearing a set. Teasing me! :lol:

I've checked on racing car spares sites, and regularly on German eBay. But I don't want a staggered set really.

They'd be perfect, but I don't fancy the idea of wobble bolts. Even the name worries me!

ok well i'll use the correct name. a varience bolt. they are perfectly safe, so long as you have spigots to centre the wheels. the main force which keeps the wheels on you hubs is frictional between the two mating surfaces. the bolts just allow the friction to occur in the first place, i.e. there is no shear force on the bolt, just tensional. equally, there is no load either on the wheel centres or spigots. they are there purely to help centre the wheel on the hub.

the other method would be to open up the holes by a mm each, in which case you could probably use std bolts. (obviously this would need to be done accurately with a pillar drill and not your old black and decker hand drill.

I might know of a set, but it depends on how much you are willing to spend really.

They are off a Nova, and are only 6 inch wide though. It depends on the offset really... set i have were ET 25 so sat really well in my mk2 arches, i would sell mine, but they need work :-(

I'm not necessarily after a mint set. What have you got?

I have a bad set, or according to rocco jocco off here a good set, too good to refurb!!!

Tbh mine aren't worth it. They are fairly good from a distance, but not all the same shape (there are two different spoke shapes) and the holes on 2 have been drilled out to accept vw bolts. Two need spigot rings and two are slightly buckled, but balance fine. Looked great on my mk2 but I took them off because I wasnt happy with them. It's only the very slight different spoke shape you can see once fitted. My bad for believing a seller, and not realising for a while due to storage.

However all is not lost as there is a set on eBay up for £225, that I mentioned above, for a Nova. Just search under revo rfx

I'm on that like a tramp on chips. If the centre bore and offset are ok, I'll have 'em.

Centre bore should be ok, as they came off a nova, but the et will likely to be high.... Nothing a set of spacers won't cure

Well if you buy them, I have some centre caps and if you want a spare wheel...
