PanaSport Replicas to Fit Opel GT's

[kwilford]

While surfing on eBay the other day, I found these wheels for sale:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...9435&rd=1&rd=1

The vendor info is at http://stores.ebay.com/JLB-Motorsports for when the eBay listing expires. Just search for "Konig + E30"

The first set sold for $399 ($100 USD per corner) which seems pretty reasonable. The current listing has a Buy It Now price of $499.99 but also has a "Make Offer" option. I already bought a set of Voxx MG's, but I admit I am thinking of buying a set of these for my GT and using the Voxx on the SportWagon. I see he has ten sets available, and while I don't have a vested interest, it would be good to show potential vendors of Opel-fitment wheels that it is worth their while to make wheels available that fit our cars.

Hope this link works...15 X 7 ET 0 should fit a GT ok. I do like the look.

I saw the ET0 (zero offset) wheels, but I think that they might rub the fender lip, unless you rolled the lip. I also see a 14x7 wheel listed, but it doesn't give an offset or bolt spacing.

The wheels in the eBay listing are 15x7 ET20 4x100, which should be perfect for an Opel GT, and should also work pretty well for a Manta/Ascona IMHO

I don't think they will rub unless your car is lowered (or if you weigh 900 lbs). I have 15x8 ET0 on stock suspension with no issues on the fender lip - the problem is at the extremes of turning (which can be easily be remedied in about five minutes with a little sawing and a mallet). I posted some info about it a month ago with fitment photos.

Does the Rewind with ET0 come in a 4x100 bolt pattern???

The seller told me that the 14x7 version in 4x100mm only comes with the +0 offset.

I had only looked at 15's. I seem to recall that the 15x7 with ET0 only comes in 4x114.3 mm. The 15x7 with 4x100 mm bolt pattern all have a high positive offset (for front wheel drive).

The Rewind in 15x7 ET20 is the same fitment as the Voxx MG - which apparently will fit fine according to many users on this site.

Not the "Rewind", but a similar wheel called the SportMax" (but 15x8). He has these listed (photo below):

and it says they come in various colours, in case red doesn't work for you.

He also has a few other 4x100 styles, but they all come with either ET35 or ET40 offsets, but says he sells the wheel adaptors to reduce the offset to fit the BMW E30 (and hence an Opel)

I have the Sportmax Racing 002's in silver on my car - check out my gallery or the pics in the following post:

You can buy the Sportmax 002 through sgmotoring on eBay for less than jlbmotorsports.

The seller mentioned throughout this thread just tonight sold me a set of the 15x7 ET20 ones Keith had mentioned to start the thread for $340 + $60 shipping, total of $400 for the set shipped. I'll post some pics when they come in and I get them mounted on the sportwagon.

If you install a 25mm adapter to your front/rear hubs, you can install any FWD wheel out there that has either a 35-40mm offset. Pepboys has a few good looking wheels for less than $300 a set. When we finish a conversion on Opel or Mg vehicles, I sometimes use the steel wheels from a Saturn which I can buy for $13 each.
