XXR, CCW knockoffs

[nanotech9]

They're cheap. The car gets tracked maybe once a year, and driven twice a year. These claim 13lbs ea for the 15x8 size. Thats certainly light enough for me.

I looked a the tires again. I think i'll stick with the 15's - price difference is about $30/tire.

Are you ordering some 15x8s? I'd like to have you test fit a brake template when you get the wheels in your possession if possible.
Thanks

I'm certainly considering it!

I've posted in Mystical's wheel thread as well looking for advice. The only other wheel in the running right now is a set of Competition SSR's in 16x7 in Maine on Craigslist... ALWAYS wanted a set of SSR's since they're so light. Used though they're still a bit pricey.

The 25% off MSRP sale on the XXR's gives a DELIVERED price of $424... hard to beat that.

As promised 16x8 et 20, hankook rs-2 225/45-16, lowered on eibach pro kit.

How close are they to rubbing on the inside of the rim (in contact with the suspension?)

Trying to decide if almost the same exact setup but in a 15x8 will work.

Thanks!

BTW, car looks awesome.

You nee to factor in you need to get hubcentric rings, and smaller lug or studs with tuner nuts. Both add to the cost.

Dear god this is why I never got aftermarket wheels 10 years ago. Everything is complicated. I thought for sure if the offset was right I was skipping the need for all the rings and spacers.

I can live with buying some studs.

OK, so where do i get the rings, and which ones?

[bmoores]

PM Kaliboy for the rings. They are cheap. Just over 10 bucks if my memory serves me. I used the factory lugs.

[nanotech9]

OK - looks like 15x8 it is... if anything. If i do order, i'll check the brake pattern for Lof8.

Thanks for the help.

[nanotech9]

Screw it - had a few bucks in the paypal account I forgot about... so I pulled the trigger.

Just what I need - 4 stock wheels taking up more room in my back yard now... Ugh.

I'm out for a week on business... I'll check back in on the brake pattern fit when I get a chance.

If you are looking for a track setup these aren't the wheel. My 16's are significantly heavier than my stock basketweaves.

Your comparing a 16x8 to a 14x6.5, of course they are heavier...

showed up while i was out of town. Wheels look very nice!

I'll print out that template tomorrow and try it.

Need tires now....

I cannot wait.

It seems like many people have these wheels, but no one posts pictures.

Im currently on Vogtland Springs, Still have the same amount of gap after installing them. 2 finger space in the rear and 3 in the front. I went with 205/45 tires. I just need spacers in the rear b/c the front is poking out more. Pretty content with the wheels, ill probably go coilovers soon b/c the gap is bothering me lol
