Revolution wheels

Featured Replies

Got these old revolutions for sale. Need too much work for my taste and taking up room (think i now 13 other sets of wheels!!!!)

Now on my mk2

Looked great, and i think a et of 25 (they had 5mm spacers on the rear in that pic)

Now the bad news..... they ain't a set of 4.... its a set of 3 and another 1..... all same size and et, but a very slightly different spoke design, see detailed pic below of all wheels, anti clockwise from the pic of 4 above. They are a bit dirty in the pics, due to my old rad resting on them for a while, but will clean up reasonably, as seen in the pic above (only ran them for a few hundred miles before switching)

Now that isn't the whole story. If you look carefully at the pics the first two have a different bolt hole type to the other two. The first 2 are the standard Revo bolt hole and the second 2 are taper cut, which looks like it has been machined after production. Not too much of a problem here, because i have specially designed washers which enable a taper bolt to be used to secure these properly. So no issues there.

The centre bore on the outside, where the cap fits is different sized on two of them (goes with the conversion to taper bolts) means that you will need two different sized centre caps with them, but the inner size appears to be 57mm (they fitted fine to my mk2 Golf and mk2 polo)

Other issues couple of them had minor buckles, but balanced up fine recently and all held air fine.

Lastly when i ran these on my mk2 the created a slight bit of wheel wobble under braking, which turned out to be warped discs, but i never ran them after replacing the discs and pads, so can't confirm this. They did run fine on the wife's Golf when last used.

Bearing these problems in mind i would prefer collection (Reigate in Surrey), so the buyer can make sure they are happy with the issues.

Price not sure really what to ask as i paid a lot for them a good few years ago from here, but understood them to be a full and good set (a well known seller called them 'too good for a refurb') so offers please
