949 Racing 15x8 Review

[MisterMiniS]

So, I got these wheels for AutoX ONLY. NO street driving. I have a stock suspension ( sad face ) and 15mm spacers all the way around. Bottom line, 15mm on the fronts is a MINIMUM. with 225/45/15 Nitto NT-01's I BARELY rub the strut in front...BARELY. And it is only during very hard cornering. Someone with a stiffer suspension probably would not have this problem.
Anyways, they are 12 pounds and cost 160 each. Not a bad deal!

I know that I look like a monster truck right now, but that will all change as soon as I can get some coilovers.

Wow, 12lbs? Worth a look. Whats the et?

Cool but i think the TRM C1s are a better value at that for the size

TRM C1's are $99 and 14.8# and require no spacers

9496UL's are $160 and 12.4# and require spacers

So, I guess they are, but picked the 949's for quality and looks. Something I think the TRM's are lacking. Just my opinion.

sweet wheels! undersized tires on stock suspension is pretty goofy looking though :)

Pretty good offset for an ix. I believe Nando runs these.

I really like ours. Running 205/15 RE-11's.

14.6lbs if you get the dark grey. The real questiion is how much do the spacers weigh to give the 949racing an equivalent offset?

Exactly! The spacers that I ordered did not specify a weight, but I have a material and I will CAD them up real fast and get a density. I will get back to you all.
