I bought a pair of the MSW 17's from CIP1.
A couple things- while they're a Fuch's 'repro" they are in no way a really good duplicate. I don't think you'd run a mix of these and OEM Fuchs. They just would NOT look the same to anyone who'd know.
A good wheel, seems made well enough for what most people want them for.
I have a couple different kinds OEM of center caps, and the closest fit is the late ring-clip style that has the beveled edge. And those actually fit INSIDE the center cap recess just snugly and are flush w/ the wheel surface.
A couple things I found w/ CIP's system though- they're descriptions of products suck ass.
The wheels you get may require any RANDOM hardware. The 15x5.5's use ball seat (NOT as advertised), the 17's use 60* cone.
A " 14mm" hardware set for these wheels is actually adapter studs w/ a 1/2x20 nut. Next time I order something like this I'll call ahead to avoid some hassle.

Please post this on the correct thread for CIP1 wheels

Maybe he's confused. That thread seems to have turned into an Iozzio thread now. |

It is narrowed, I custom built a set of 17X5" for the front. Nankang makes a 165/40/17 tire now. _________________ Paul Iozzio

Here is the new production narrowed wheel (left) with a comparison to the flat4 4.5" wheel (right). Notice the spokes stick out the same.

Is your assessment of the disparity between the production costs & retail based on your expertise as a manufacturer of quality wheels, Yakob? (& your little birdy).
Have you factered research & development costs?
I have nothing to do with Iozzio wheels, it just annoys the dickens out of me when people expect quality for nothing. |
