Hi guys, so is possible to have more information about the Twisted wheels? Are produced in italy?
Manta and Twisted are the same product?


Manta and Twisted are very similar but not exactly the same. Both manufactured by the same company in Italy.

mhm... the wheels of twisted have the spokes inside the wheel and a different offset. Both do part of the Silverline group?

The Manta and Twisted are supplied in UK by Silverline, I believe made in Italy, but NOT the same. Twisted are specially licensed to Twisted only and different, spokes are set back. Twisted by far the nicest but expensive in comparison. Thumbs Up James

I thought they were both ET10, unless Twisted are still doing ET0 as an option?


Hi guys. I am interested in a set of 18 inch Twisted Sport wheels. Will someone pls explain the difference between ET0 and ET10. The Twisted website offers both specs.

I am assuming the Twisted users on here are happy with them. How do they compare with the 18" Bowlers?

Many tks in advance for your help and advice.

ET10's are 10mm further in under the arches than ET0. By comparison, standard LR Boost alloys are ET33. Darren

Thanks so much for the clarifications. Bow down
So if I have spacers, which I do, then it is best to go with the ET10s? Or take out the spacers and go with the ET0s? Will the ET0s give me the same benefits in turning circle that the spacers have given me?

With et0 or et10 rims you'll want to take off the spacers or the tyre will be outside the wheel spat (illegal). The et0 will give you the best turning circle, especially with a narrow tyre. James

Yes, you won't need spacers.

Thanks for your help on this so far. A couple more questions on the Twisred wheels; are they suitable for off road driving (nothing too extreme) and how do they compare against the Bowler 18's? What is the load rating on the Twisted?
