But you pay for lightweight and quality. Personally I would love to have a set for some track wheels.

Honestly, I'm not a big fan of the 6ULs. They just look like ripoffs of the Work Emotions

Did you not care to read his post at all?

He said that hub rings would be ok but a direct fit would be the best. Then another guy started talking about high offset wheels and the OP was fine with it. So, I made an assumption that maybe he would likey the 949 racing wheels. They are actually really nice wheels and I haven't investigated their entire wheel line so they may even offer a lower offset 15x8 wheel.

A 15mm spacer weighs what? A pound, maybe. That doesn't destroy the whole idea of a light wheel. And seeing that the emotions are more expensive, its a good alternative. I'm just trying to give the guy options because there really isn't a large market of 15x8 4x100 low offset wheels.
You know?

15mm isn't nearly a "fat spacer" and taking that into consideration I made the assumption that he would rather use a spacer than roll the shit out of his fenders with low or 0 offset wheels. Once again, I was giving the OP options because he doesn't have many choices other than sportmaxx or high offset rotas. So let him decide what he is going to do because because he will eventually be left with the decision between a bad looking wheel or a badly fitting wheel.
I don't know why you make it your point to try to talk crap to everyone on here. You just need to learn how to be more passive with little stuff like this. He asked a question. And the simple but blunt answer to it, is no, there isn't a 4x100 15x8 wheel that will fit without the need of spacers or hubcentric rings. Now since I thought of that before hand, I skipped that fact and went straight to trying to help him out with his situation.
Simple as that.

There have been wheels in the past that were direct fit 15x8, and new wheels now that are coming out, direct fit.
I don't find these ugly... and he's okay with hubcentric rings, just not spacers:
available new here.
But yeah, no good looking wheels exist at all meeting his requirements. STFU n00b and don't make worthless posts

I understand what you mean. Seeing that most people wouldnt want to drop 2k on wheels, there are other alternatives that will look and operate just fine.
I see your point, I know what you mean. Dont call my posts useless posts when all I was trying to do was assist him in finding a wheel within the budget of an average person.
So get off your interwebz high horse and calm the fuck down. You took a small thing and blew it way out of proportion.

If he doesn't want to buy wheels from Europe, then he can just run basketweaves until these are available for $109/each

OMG, Internetz iz SRS BZNZZ!!!!
Lots of good ideas here, thanks to all who posted. Of course what I really want is great looking (meaning in my case, old-school funky), lightweight (preferably forged), cheap ($125 or so) wheels in the EXACT size, offset, and hub size to fit the Hankook 225-50-15, MAYBE the 225-45-15 if I back off of my fat sidewall fetish a little, all with nothing more than moderate fender-rolling and no rubbing, ever. Seriously, that's not too much to ask, is it?
All the posts give me a bunch more items to look at, but seriously, the long-anticipated, possibly vapor-ware TireRack 15X8 in direct fitment is the likely winner; it's only drawback is boringness, and it's not even that bad.

I'd much rather find a +20 or resort to higher offset whees with a spacer. I really like the Rota RB's (Panasport knock-off) so that wouldn't be that bad of an option.
