Murci G28 build "Chaos"

[dratts]

Since so many murci owners have custom wheels installed you don't need the original wheels to look authentic.  Nothing wrong with the original wheels though.

[Tallon]

I hope those aren't first gen Murcielago rims.

Wow thanks a lot I guess our cars are going to look horrible just because you don't like the original wheels

[usmc_butler]

Yes they are both original Murci wheels. Tallon and I purchased from the same guy at the same time...

[Tallon]

yeah digi told me ten seconds then then seconds again but man I've been trying for over an hour on one wheel. It seems I have to sand til it's copper looking then sanded all the copper off to a silver... thought that would do the trick but still no
I'm even using bigger than what I was told I'm using 2-7/8"
it ended up shrinking in diameter anyway.

I had to do the same thing to my wheels in order for them to go over the hub.  It's very minimal the amount you have to sand out.  Took about 10 mins. per wheel.

[usmc_butler]

When my wheels get here at the end of the week I will see how mine fit. Digibeam did say to sand the inner hub of the wheel slightly with a flapper wheel.... That is what he had to do and I beleive both of you are running the same setup..?

It turns out it's the middle of the hub that is slightly bigger than the hole in the wheel, I'm trying to sand the wheel out with a flapper wheel but not having any luck, still won't slide on. I sanded the hub smooth as well. This is very strange. :\

My wheels fit perfect on the S-10 hubs that have the same pattern as the corvette.  I did not have to modify anything.  You have the same wheels I do.

[msaby]

Are you sure you got the correct hubs.  I have the lambo wheels on mine with 5X4.75 bolt pattern no modification necessary.  i would not try to modify the lambo wheels. 

Could the bearings you received be actually 5X115m.  Just a thought here.

Maybe the corvette studs are larger than what the wheel was designed for? I read that corvette and Lamborghini share the same stud thread (12x1.5) but I'd suggest verifying that... I also suggest using a .33mm oversized reamer to enlarge the holes to keep them concentric.

.65 will make a difference,   you  will need to    use a  dremel or  die grinder  on the wheel   but it  will be  very  very  little   out of  each hole

[Tallon]

Wow they look better than chrome. I wonder if someone had them painted because I've never seen an oem with black version of this wheel. I even asked on lambo forum.

Hey I went to put my rear wheels on today and they don't really fit the corvette lugs for some reason 
I knew they were slightly off but they won't go on at all, do I have to drill the holes a little bigger?
vette is 5/120.65mm... same as fiero right?

It's strange though because everyone is saying the .65 wouldn't make enough of a difference but I can't get my wheel on.

I have brand new hubs from ebay (84 - 96 Chevy Corvette Rear Wheel Hub & Bearing Pair)

sorry still on vacation didn't get to take pics I just had to try to fit them quick

[usmc_butler]

I sure don't remember the old tire sizes I had, but I know if you run a 20"x11" wheel in the rear and a 20"x9" wheel in the front you will need a 255/30/20 tire for the front (25.5") and 305/25/20 tire for the rear (26"). that is what the Gallardo guys are running on there wheels and they are the same height as what the Murci guys are running with the acceptation of the Murcy guys are running a wider back tire and rim

[SchulzeA]

I have been looking at wheels and seen several pictures where the cheap ones broke into pieces. Do you happen to remember the old tire sizes? I don't wanna buy $$$$ wheels/tires and be  when they don't fit.

[usmc_butler]

Ya the tires that were on the 20's were to big and I was going to get new tires until I found out how much the wheels cost then I didn't want to dump anymore money in a cheap set of wheels... Then a member on here had 2 sets of the older Murci wheels and tires for $1,500 so Tallon and I purchased them and I sold the others. I would have liked to kept the 20's had they been a better quality wheel like I was told they were in the beginning .... But everything happens for a reason and I am super excited to get OEM wheels !
