Best 15 in lightweight? Kosei K1 vs TrMotorsports C1

ES100s vs R888s. LOL

the R888s will both grip better (rain or shine) and last longer. They might be cheaper, but that's about the only advantage I can think of.

when will the back stock of ES100s finally dry up? This tire has licked balls since it came out but people still buy them somehow, and they stopped making them years ago..

Because I plan to street drive them as well. R888's are less than R1's R1's are not available in 235-50-15 either if I remember correctly. I don't want a stretched tire and these suit my 15x9 BBS RS been waiting for some decent sized tires.

Oh street drive.. i would not get r-comps for street driving. I'd get a UHP like G-Force Sport or Yoko AVS ES100 for that.

Hmmm....White C3M wheels on red e30.....mmmmm :D

eh. my wheels aren't even hubcentric - no vibrations or issues at all.

weight > style > direct fit ;)

Okay, maybe a 10mm spacer and the use of hubcentric rings, but no way style before direct fit!!! :D

15x9 ET 36 is going to require more than a 20mm spacer.

More like a 30-35mm 4x100 to 4x100 adapter.

My 17x7.5" Et 37 SSRs need 15/20 f/r spacers. Now I just need to get off my ass and put them on the car.

I'd say absolute min would be a 23mm spacer to clear the strut with a slightly stretched tire. If you want to stuff a 275 on it, you'll obviously need more room.

While on the R888 discussion who has the best prices currently on them? I was planning on trying these.

why? Just get RA-1s. best prices at Phil's Tire Service. They carry R-888 too if you must have them :)

[nando]

I can get them with our local club discount for about $150 each, but that doesn't help you!

I'm a fan of the 6ULs. Eventually I want to get some 15x8s or maybe 15x9s and another set of hoosiers. I really miss lightweight tires, the 235 R888s are nice but they're a bit heavy.

Are there some steamroller tires available for 15x9? Just wondering.

don't forget about the 235/50-15 R888s ;)

Nobody really likes 20mm spacers, but who cares. :p

pro-race 1.3 from bimmerworld ftw. picked up a set for my spec e30.

C3M's!!!!



I'm so excited about this wheel. 15x9, 15.6#, and $500 shipped to your door.

The bad is that it's a Miata wheel so it has a +36 offset and hub-centric to 67.1mm, but who cares? I know I don't.

Hopefully the fact of needing spacers will give me ample clearance for my BBK.

Holy shit, this looks fucking awesome. It would be perfect in like... 15x8.5, but they somewhat resemble Hartges (thin 10-spoke). I'd have to find an appropriately sized tire, but I'd be down for a set for sure. These look way better than the C1.

Thanks Mazur, you just made the decision as to what my next wheel is going to be. Nobody really likes 20mm spacers, but who cares. :p
