MEVABUSA looks like an awesome machine. So whats with the 4x108 lug pattern? Anybody know if swapping hubs out for say 4x100 or 5x114.3 will be an option?
I'm done throwing money at my street cars, so I am saving money to buy one of these. It looks awesome. I cant wait to start seeing peoples builds.

cant see a problem with 4x108 as there are a few large manufacturers using that stud pattern Ford is one Peugeot another so there are lots of nice wheels to choose from. Orders are now being taken for MEVABUSA.

Orders are now being taken for MEVABUSA. Estatically, the 4x stud pattern canceles out all 5 spoke wheels which are a lot! the stud pattern not lining up with the spokes is ugly IMHO. Finding nice looking light wheels for 4 bolts isn't too easy. br, erik

perhaps you need to look for 8 spoke wheels, they would look wrong with 5 stud holes. I have seen this machine on the road today, IT LOOKS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

I made a folder on my pc with pics wheels, steering wheels and gear knobs I like and when going into details only the Momo Corse and OZ ultralegra and team dynamics 1.2 (same weight for the 17"versions) turned out to be my favourites. I went for the Momo Corse 7-double spoke,8 recessed stud holes as best looking with the body. RTR made a good choice on their demo tR1ke. www.roadtrackrace.co.uk/rtr_tr1ke_gallery.htmlUnfortunately, the anthraxite version was not available when I ordered the kit 5 months ago but last week I got mail my wheels went in production. I expect them home after italian summer holiday (4 weeks!!). Only there is a rumor Momo is close being bankrupt...

Can't go saying that without some pictures Stiggy! Watch this revised video for a quick glimpse of the car undergoing testing outside our premises. RTR
