Different PCD'd wheels

by Colin G, 17-09-2021, 08:25 PM

Ok guys. Got a question regarding wheels with a different pcd to standard.

Would a set of 18"x8 et35 with a 5x112 pcd fit the IS without much work???

Or what work if any would be needed to make them fit??

Atomic Wheels in MK closed down?

by LexIS200Sport, 17-09-2021, 01:42 PM

Went there this afternoon to get my winter tyres balanced, and then realised that they have shut down?

I know Tony Bones left them a while back, but I still used to go there for the odd wheel balancing/swapping tyres front-to-rear/etc as it was a convenient location for me.

Anyone have any ideas what happened?

Hello all! I'm Phil and I'm an alcoholic.

Oh wait, wrong forum! Let's start again, I'm Phil and I drive a Lexus. It's a pretty banged up IS200 S, in that nasty green colour, but darn it's a nice car! I'm on the facebook group and decided to join up here too.

Here's an old picture of it.


I haven't done too much to it, other than a nice new Pioneer AVH X2500BT head unit, Heko wind deflectors, and a set of Mazda 3 alloys and lowering springs which I haven't fitted yet.

I like cars a lot, so I'll probably see a bunch of you at a few car shows over the next few years.

If you wanna see more pics, feel free to have a look at my website if you want. (http://www.teamdefiant.co.uk) Please also take the time to laugh at what my old Corsa looked like when I bought it. That body kit was so awful, but I sold that rear wing for more that I paid for the car!
