Aftermarket wheels 4200, offset needed?

[Delmonte]

Great thanks, I'm now schooled in offset

I have the GS pattern wheels from Eurospares they weigh around 3kg more than my 18” 7 spokes, and they are made from much stronger material than standard GS wheels.

Do the wheel bolts have the same length thread on a GS and 4200? I v just ordered a new set of extended ones for spacers and suddenly thought they might be a differant length to when i had them on my 4200 ?

Yes, I'm running the 7 spoke 18" 4200 rims on my GS at the moment for comfort.
No issues with bolt length. It is the 3200 ones that are different.

Metorical they are nice! Look massive though, do they hit the arches at the rear?

I usually only hear a bit of scrubbing with passengers in the back going over a bump in the road

Is that 3kg per set, not per wheel surely?

I've got the Formula Dynamics wheels, which, are actually rebranded Forgestar F14's.

They are quality, and lightweight too.

I do like these, expensive though. It seems FD are the only ones selling them to UK market, I wonder if cheaper to import them oneself....
