15x8 sub 15lbs for under $100!

[LokeyVW]

are these race only rims?
i know that track rims are different than street ones, as far as strength goes.

anyone run these on street?

From what I have read up on them no one has been complaining about them being soft or brittle. I had a bad experiance with Diamond Racing steelies, they reccomend them for track only since they are wicked soft and are cheap enough to throw away if you bend one on the track. Not so good for a daily driver in my opinion.

6 months for me. Great performing combination and the tires are lasting well.

Glad to hear the tires are lasting, I plan to daily the same tires and I am hoping they last about a year or so before I have to get new ones. I will probably end up with a spare set of 15x8's with some race rubber if I start auto-xing the car or tracking it on a regular basis.

Do you need to roll the fenders/run spacers to fit the 15x8s? Also what tire sizes are you running? 225/50?

I will be running a 225/45 and I am not sure about spacers or rolling sicne they have not been delivered yet, I should have them in about 5 days. Maybe someone else can chime in and shed some light on this for you.

On a late model I had roll rears a little

These are baller wheels. I run the 15x8s w/ 205/50 falken azenis and love it. Next tires I get will prob be the hancooks though, as the azenis get slippery when hot.

And the best finish on these is bright silver, no questions

No spacers needed.... fender rolling needed depending on tire choice/width and drop.

[drulle]

whats the offset? anyone knows? thanks

[Jean]

Is it not listed on TR site?

[Wh33lhop]

+20

[wakdog]

Do they do any other offsets lower than +20 in a 15x8? the TR website is shit and treats me like im a moron (wont show me specific specs ><)...

Reason is that I need somewhere between +15 and +0 to clear my struts (have been bent for neg camber) and I dont want to run spacers...

Already have a set of 15x8 +0 wheels but they are too heavy for track work imo

Tire Rack says they are +25mm. Scroll down to the description.

Oh this makes me excited. I will get them pronto if someone will answer two (2) questions for me:

1. Will these fit on my slightly lowered E30 without any fanaggling.

Edit: so the 15x8 require some rolling in the rear? I'm lowered on H&R Race springs.

2. Are these fine for daily driving my car.

Edit: I was planning on DR Steelies, but these are the same price about, and someone above said he had a bad experience with DRs?


They look fine too, just wanna get something other then bottle (gay) caps.

With a 205/50 series tire these will fit no problem if your lowered on race springs. I have this exact set up

depends on the tire and early or late e30, 225 Nitto NT01s and Toyo RA1s both clear on my early body with no issues.

running 205's on a 15x8 is a waste of an 8" wide wheel

[Balleristic31]

I disagree. My 205s are perfectly square on my wheel so I'm getting the maximum contact patch.
I'm sure with a 225 I'd have more grip but I wouldn't exactly call running a 205 a waste
