Pirelli P Slots - Questions?

[Robinxr4i]

Sorry guys!!!! Just been thinking about them recently.....

Are they made by Pirelli?

Do they only come in 15"?

Do they only come in 4x100?

Were they an aftermarket wheel? or just made for VW?

Some p slot pics.......

plain...


polished....


on an Audi (4x108 )


on a golf

They did a few different PCDs, but the non 4x100 ones are rare, and 15" 4x100 are rare too ;D

They were sold as the "+1 Concept" to introduce new-fangled low profile tyres to the public. You drove your car into an approved retailer and they replaced you wheels and tyres with alloys +1 inch in diameter, and lower profile tyres so the rolling radius remained the same

ive only ever heard of 4x100 and 4x108 what other flavours did they come in?

[reanimation]

I could of sworn some were FS on here a bit back in 4x108, if so why did i not buy em. hmmm maybe not then...

Thanks DarrenW, thats awesome!

I am guessing from the above Audi that they did come it 4x108, if so anyone know where I could get a set???

I want to polish a set up for the sierra!

they were only made by pirelli in 14". there are 15" versions that, according to pirelli, are unauthorised copies.

Not according to their brochure

i had some 14's on my '94 corrolla - got them off freecycle - with decent tyres

let them go with the car though

[Mike]

Had a set of these of my Golf, excellent choice of wheel

Seeing them on that Kadett D above makes me think about getting a set for my Astra..

[DarrenW]

I've got them on mine, but to be honest I don't really like them! They're the original fitment for my "Campaign" model, with the Series-1 centre caps that have the Pirelli lettering embossed in the centre. i'd love a set of the "other" Pirelli rim pictured above, but I've only ever seen one set for sale in five years, on eBay germany ;D

[VW]

There are different p sizes and diferent center caps too, some caps are plastic, some are metal.

Thats why alot of polished p slots don't have caps.

Ive got a polished set with metal caps somewhere but not sure where.

<pimp wares> I have a set for sale 14" 4x100 cheap if anybody seriously wants a set... </pimp wares>

There were early and late mk1 P-slots - one had an 8mm gap between the Ps, the other a 10mm gap. I believe there were also versions with 8 Ps instead of the usual 9.

If you're after a set of 15s, sausage bay usually coughs up a set every once in a while

[Ratters]

Just checked the set I have at the back of the shed & they are 14's. Missus had them on her Mk1 Golf I think.

[akku]

would be seriously interested in 108mm - so long as not crazy priced... After Robin in the queue of course

[DarrenW]

I just found these pics:





;D

Phalacrocorax Aristotelis!!!

That's the most ridiculous tyre stretch yet.

[DarrenW]

"FOR TEMPORARY USE ONLY" ;D

I guess it's a space-saver tyre?

[milfordcubicle]

That's got to be dangerous! I hope it's show use only...
I've driven a car with a space saver on in anger, it was pretty dreadful.

[Ratters]

Looks more like a motorbike tyre
