Imo they look better than some of the other options

You could get euroweaves and call it a day.

I guess so lol

anyone have some pics of the new 6UL XTR wheels. They sound perfect.

XTR coming Summer 2010 - Low cost gravity cast, 10 spoke design, silver or black

Yes these are for real


15x7 +25, +40 4x100, 4x114.3, 5x100, 5x114.3 13 lbs $89


15x8 +20, +36 4x100, 4x114.3, 5x100, 5x114.3 14.6- 15.2 lbs $99


15x9 +20, +36 4x100, 4x114.3, 5x100, 5x114.3 15 -15.4 lbs $109

E30 offsets! Holy crap, it can't be!

Too bad the 6ULs look like poo. If the new ones look better, they may be a better candidate if just for the direct fitment, but as it sits, between the C3Ms/spacers and 15x9 direct-fit 6ULs, I'll take the C3Ms.

Based on the available sizes, offset and pricing I'm guessing they ARE targeting the E30 market. They already took care of Miatas and now S2000's and WRX's, so I guess we're next.

I just hope they take BBK's into consideration.

That 15x8 is even heavier than the TRM wheel, and it's 3 lbs heavier than their Miata offset wheel.

Not really sure what the point is, I'd rather pay for studs/spacers than pay the same $$$ for a wheel that is heavier (than the TRM).

The TRM doesn't need studs and spacers, it's the same offset and size in 15x8, right?

I think right now the TRM 15x8 is the best choice, though I wish koseis were more readily available.

I was saying studs/spacers for the current 6UL wheel, that in 15x8 is just over 12lbs, not 15+. That's a 12lb increase in rotating weight.

Oh my bad, I've never actually seen these 6UL wheels. Those are pretty light weight.

but the 9" is only a tiny bit heavier

interesting that the low offset wheels weigh so much? Lucky for me the miata offset wheels are a perfect fit.

I know, it's interesting they were able to get that so light! If you look on TireRack the 15x8s vary by as much as 1/2lb depending on the finish you get, to me that seems really weird.

Meh, it's just that big chunk of hub has to stick out alot farther.

Bastard and your ix fitment!

Hey, I can't change the fact that they look like shit. :p

Have you seen them? I have not even seen a redering yet. This is a different design then the normal 6ul. They are 10 spoke so maybe they will look like the C3M's. I'm sure the weight is from the extra meat of the hub area to make it a lower offset. But 15x9 sounds like a sweet setup
