New wheels on my baby.

Meh, Type C's are ok, they are kinda boring. They look good though.

Are most of the Type C's out there 15s? I think im the only one with 16s.....

Kyle

Me - 15
Stu - 15
Jamie - 16

I'd sad it just depends on the original owner's preferene for size. I actually prefer the 15", as it is lighter.

Josh, I think what you meant to say was simple, not boring :P . I like the way the spokes are large at the center and narrow as they go out, make the wheel look strong. But a six-spoke is a subtle design, and I think they "go" with my car. People in Indy think they are hot, but they are still era correct and look as if they "belong" on my ride.

Don't tempt me Ted. I'm not a huge fan of oversized tires, and those T's are just sittin in my garage......

K1s are the anorexic sister of Type C's. :P

Erick, what tires are you running?

[Erick]

205/55-15s

Anorexic wheels own..... 8)

I was wondering what brand/type. I'm looking for some tires.....I made a mistake getting cheap oversized tires......
I'm thinking 215/50 Kuhmo as they are cheap and I just need tires to get around. (ES100s are too much $ for me right now......)

225s won't fit with my offset, and 225 might be overkill. 215 might be just enough tire.....and the diameter is .5 in less than stock, and affects our ever-accurate speedo by 2.2%.

Does anyone know if 215/50-15 will fit with an ET30 15x7 wheel...... ? Any reviews of the Kuhmos, I've read good things about them on Tirerack. EDIT: Argh, I just saw a thread on here saying they are low performance, suck ass tires...... :(

Anorexic = 2 pounds lighter, but it looks better to have some meat on them bones. ;)

[Erick]

I really dont know why you wonder nor why you ask..... you have them on your Borbet Ts, and you really shouldn't be looking any more. Throw in some AVS100s there and you're set. The only other tire I would think of right now is the Falken Azenis.

As for tire size, I say 205/55-15 you seriously have no clearance at all from the looks of it.... I wouldnt push it with wide tires.

And 2 pounds heavier? Type Cs are heavy bitches from what I read.

Either way it looks nice :)

Absolutely.

I have 225/50-15s on my 15x7 et25 Zenders.

And yes, RK's are sick.

sweet, sounds like i know what my next tiresize will be when these wear out. I'll probably roll the fenders just to be safe, i don't like rubbing

Yeah, I give up looking for alternatives....205/55-15 ES100s, when I have the money......

TJ was misinformed..... He called the 15" heavy, when they are really decently weighted. I was surprised when I picked them out of the shipping boxes, pretty light. On my scale ~ 191 (clothed)......then with the wheel ~208 pounds. (~17lbs) Wheelweights.net rated them at 16.5, which I confirmed with the scales. So there!

HAWT!!! I love borbets!
