New 15x8 wheel coming!

[JGood]

What's the reason?

I'v got 225/50/15 v710 tires waiting for wheels. I am looking at going with 15x8 all the way around. Suspension will be fairly stiff at around 700f/900r and -3 front camber.

I think it would fit a 7" just fine as Tire Rack measures a 225/50/15 V710 on a 7" rim (range is 6"-8"), so it would be extra weight for no reason.

on an e30 i'd go 15 x 7 all around.

Ordered 1 15x8 today...

Will test it on my 88 325is with the 11.75" 4 piston kit I designed for it. Will also test with the 11" kit as soon as I get the brackets made...

I'd take a set for this years track. is it worth putting 15 x 8 in the rear with 15 x 7 in the front or could you go 15 x 7 all around?

The wheels depicted on Tire Rack are not "multi lug" wheels. There are holes in the hub for weight reduction purposes, similar to those found on other wheels (Spoon SW388's and their fake counterparts, Rota Slipstreams come to mind immediately). The smaller holes could not be used to mount the wheels on a different bolt pattern.

I thought they make one casting with the multi-pattern setup, then drill and finish one pattern, with the alternate pattern remaining as mere holes.

They should charge more for the extra holes.

I'm surprised the hardware is included.

haha.. they also help cool the brakes :mrgreen:

Yes! A two-fold benefit :D

The extra holes reduce unsprung weight! ;)

don't care what it looks like. they are track wheels. for that price/weight combo, i'm ordering a set.

15x8's to SoCal, cheapest shipping cost is from TR's Nevada location, where the wheels will be available on 01/17/09 << we will see about that.

Grand Total: $472.68

With that link, those are only 15x7's. Not 15x8's

I know. That version is for the Miata. It should be representative of what the 4x100 version should look like. For illustrative purposes only. Do not order your wheels from that link. No warranty is given or implied. Your mileage may vary.
