Circle racing aluminum... (or steel if you feel like it)?

Supposedly strong. And 13x7lbs for 15x8.

those are 'spensive

[rwh11385]

meh 15x8 koseis are $199 each. and these you can choose your offset, so never spacers. and hubcentric so no $ for centering rings


cheaper than kodiaks, ccw's, etc

Team Dynamics from Bimmerworld.

Team Dynamics from Bimmerworld.

7" width: Absolutely winnar. And also HMS Motorsport sent a mailer saying they sell them too.

although in greater than 7" width, and reasonably affordable, and reasonably light... the market just got thinner. Ronals anyone like Randy Walters now?

[Mystikal]

Ronal is lacking supply too.

Unless I'm racing for money, a 7" wheel with 225's is more than enough grip.

[rwh11385]

...hmm, i guess that's why everyone else is running that too...

[Mystikal]

Techincally, a lowered E30 on 225's will pull 0.90Gs.

Seems sufficient.

Just look for Honda fitment and you will find an infinate amount of light and affordable wheels.

[rwh11385]

not many hondas are running 8" widths though....


they do have SSR Comps 15x7.5 (and Miata)... my uncle is an accountant at a machine shop and they could probably "adjust" the hub centerbore if necessary, or a BMW shop owner (Will's boss) suggested having them make custom spacers if I needed them (which I could then sell i guess). Find an engineering/CAD pal to design them... hmm


Of course, Team Dynamics with their 7" width would probably be FINNNNNNE likely.

[2002maniac]

if you have clearance problems with wide 225's on your et17 Kosei's you could always have ~5mm removed from the mounting surface on a lathe. Would be very simple if the depth of the centerbore would still fit on the hub.

[Digitalwave]

Yeah but why compromise the structural integrity of a cheap rim when there are so many other options out there?

meh, i thought about it. but i am probably good on clearance anyway.... i am just a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles that the tire will hit.

If you've seen the inside of a Kosei you would understand. There would be no structural compromise.

I wish Team Dynamics had a black rim w/ a silver lip....not just black :(
