1- WHAT IS THE ET OF A WHEEL ?
The ET or also called OFFSET is the distance between an imaginary medium line of the rim and
its mounting face on the hub of the car.
This measure, in millimeters, determines the track of the car. The higher the ET, the wheels
and tire accordingly, are more tucked inside the car, which decreases the track of the car.
Conversely, a lower ET moves the whole wheel off.
The current vehicles normally have wheels with ET between 30 and 50 mm. Wheels with
ET+60 implies that the centre of the wheel is much exited in proportion to the wheel itself. An
ET+10 imply a lot of rim with the centre deep inside the wheel.
A negative ET value indicates that the centre's mounting face is behind the imaginary medium
line of the rim. The wheel has a lot of outerlip. Such is the case of the former Renault Alpine or
some 4x4 vehicles.
2 - WHAT'S THE WEIGHT OF AN ESPECIFIC WHEEL?
The weight of the same wheel model depends on the width, diameter, the ET, the number of
holes, the diameter of implementation of these same drills (PCD) and the required strength
depending on the intended use ( gravel, asphalt, hill climbing etc ).
Consequently, it is very uncertain about the weight of a wheel and to make comparisons.
All our wheels are developed by finite element computer, so they are optimized in size and
structure. From here, a wheel heavier than another, with other parameters being equal, it simply
states that it is more resistant.
Within each size reference, our range suits particular application. For example, wheels with size
7"x15", available in ascending order of weight and strength of the range: Winrace TA
Ligthweight, Winrace TA, Winrace Safari and Winrace T Acropolis. Its use is respectively: light
car or mountain asphalt, asphalt normal, gravel and Gravel with stones.
In addition, starting from a specific wheel, the optional Ligthweigth version, made by request and
depending on the car and customer requirements, can adapt the weight and strength to each
case.
3- WHICH WHEELS ARE AVAILABLE FOR MY CAR ?
All. As manufacturers, we are able to manufacture any width, diameter and ET required. We are
not limited to the typical warehouse stock with some specific features waiting for someone to ask
exactly what is available. Another thing is that what you want is compatible with your car
regarding brake calipers, wheel arches, regulations, etc. But from our site, there aren't any
problems to make the wheels exactly as you want.
Feel free to contact us for any enquiry and we will make sure you get best possible solutions
as per your needs.
4- WHERE CAN I BUY YOUR PRODUCTS ?
We have distributors in most countries. They are the best by proximity and information to help you.
If you do not know the dealer, please contact our sales department and we will inform about
their contacts.
5- WHAT IS THE MINIMUM QUANTITY OF ORDER AND DELIVERY TIME ?
The minimum quantity is always 1. Meaning: there is no minimum or maximum amount of product to
manufacture.
Our streamlined industrial structure allows us to process any order volume.
The delivery time depends very much on the uniqueness of the order and the build up time of year.
It can vary from a few hours to several days. Our flexibility allows us to resolve any
"hopeless" case.
