VIRGO or DRACO WHEELS

827Roverman · Mar 20th, 2019, 11:45

I know it may sound a dumb question but i fancy changing my wheels on my 1996 940, i quite like the virgo wheels but i've heard that 15" wheels may not clear the calipers is that correct, i have a new set of 195x65x15 tyres on my existing 15" wheels that i would swop over, i don't mind doing a little bit of refurb work on the wheels, has anyone close to me got any for sale. PLEASE PM ME OR EMAIL ME AT bates.mdr@hotmail.com David.

Virgos will only work with certain cars, usually the NA 2.0 cars with smaller front brakes/no ABS.

I believe on certain later cars you can machine the calipers to give clearance, but that's not something I would want to do, personally.

I have a refurbed set of Dracos on my 744 and I love them. Really handsome rims, but retro and understated.

I was hoping you'd see this thread and add your input Phil!
