Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.3 or TRmotorsport C1 for AW 318is?

[zhp43867]

I am getting a 318is shipped to me in a couple weeks, and I know I'm going to want to replace the wheels. It is Alpine White. I am going to lower it on either Ireland Engineering or H&R Race springs. I am thinking either the Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.3 or the TRmotorsport C1. They are both 15x7, the Team Dynamics weighs 13.2lbs and the TRmotorsport weighs 13.8lbs. I would get either one in silver to keep the look clean. I will probably run 205/55/15 Star Spec Z1 tires. If there's any reason I should run 195/55/15 please LMK. Which should I get? Input from people who have owned both? I alspo considered the LTW5 however it looks really small in all the pictures I've seen :(. Thanks for the input everyone!

The irregular spokes of the TRMs have always bugged me. I prefer the cleaner TDs. Plus, the TDs offer more clearance for a BBK. ;)

Okay, so do the TRmotorsports not clear your BBK? I can't say thats something I'm going to do now but I'd want to leave the possibility open for next summer :up:

Both wheels work with the Massive Sport kit. Personally I would get the TR's in 15x8 but if you are only using your car as a DD then the 7" rim is fine. Are you sure you can get the Star Specs in 205? When I got mine last year the only 15" size was 195.

Funny thing. On Tirerack it says Dunlop Z1 for 15" only 195/55/15 if you shop by tire, however when I added the TRMs to my cart and clicked shop for tires it listed Dunlop Z1 205/55/15 and said in stock.

I definitely like the Team Dynamics wheels better (look a lot better than the previous revisions with the light "dish"), but they don't come in 15x8... shame.

I think TRM are more period correct. Plus i like the concaved spokes. Only downside for me is the ugly centercaps

[Wh33lhop]

Yeah, I'm skeptical as to whether the pictured Pro Race 1.3 is actually the 15x7. I don't think the 15x7 would have a concave face like that. Looks more like a 16 or 17, but it's still 4-lug.

Looks like they've got a 17x9, I doubt that would be in 4-lug but it's possible I suppose.

[zhp43867]

Well I think I might go with the TRM. If the Team Dynamics are concave I think I'd like them less than the TRM. I'm concerned about the look of the spokes on the TRM, but I will save $50 on the wheels plus free mounting and balancing by tire rack, which save me another $100. Thanks for the input.

Look closer. The only Dunlop in 205/55 is the DZ101.

I have the 195 Z1's on 7" wheels, they look a little skinny but handle incredibly well.

I like my TRM C1s in 15X8. I think the concave looks good on the car.

These are wheels the previous owner had on the car at one point. 15x7 et 25

Can't say they are my favorite... 15" always look a taad on the small side to me. I'd pop some 16"s on with the right or at least close too, right offset.
