Ok chaps,

I've come across a set of wheels that I like, simple 5-spoke design.
My question to you, what is the standard offset on an NB8C SE Racing Hart?

These new rims are 18" x 8" with an 8P offset (I have no idea what 8P means, as i've only ever heard of +20/+40 etc) and yes they are 4 x 100 PCD.

Any ideas?

04 Racing heart has a 40mm offset.

These new rims are 18" x 8" with an 8P offset (I have no idea what 8P means, as i've only ever heard of +20/+40 etc)

Any ideas?


Offsets are sometimes referred to as being ~p or ~m (i.e. an "8p" offset or a "5m" offset, etc.) which again indicates roughly how far plus or minus the offset is.


I believe audi's use ~p, try the eurocca forum for more info.

Are you trying to give Wun a heart attack??? Love the rims by the way, I think they would look great on your car. From what I can gather 8p is a type of Audi ie Audi A3 8p. Sure there is no ther info regards offset?

Don't worry there's so many screws around the hub... he can just leave every 3rd one in or something... she'll hold... :mrgreen:

May not be a genuine 2 or 3 piece wheel, so you could take all the screws out anyway !

Well where you put the air in is already missing one bolt, so could probably get away with every third bolt, at least give it a try.

Ehhh they are fake two piece wheels? So some dude jb welded the two pieces together so you can get rid of all the screws? Man thats a cool weight saving idea.

That and make the P8 offset to like + 40 with an angle grinder.

Still my 16" OEM will be lighter :mrgreen:

Will just need to lose about 100 kg and can beat his SE....

Fake 2 piece. From what I have read they are very expensive genuine 2 piece wheels. Wun you love that angle grinder wayyyyyy too much and going from the list of bits he just bought I would say you would need to lose more than 100kg's :lol:

How do they look in the 4 stud pattern, looks speccy in 5, but can't imagine 4 working at all.

Cheers,
