New 15x8 wheel coming!

[tonytony]

subcribed, these are great looking and good price too. I was going to settle on team dynamics pro race 1.2 until i saw these. I'd love these in matte black

Pics on an E30?

So do you literally put to valve stems in the wheel? seems kinda funky. But im more than likely going to buy a set haha.

the two valve stems is for Nitrogeon filling, or a great place to put a temp pressure sensor :)

Not sure what Hoosier has for wets in 15" but I'm guessing quite a few. A 205 would probably be a good wet tire choice for this wheel.

So while it isn't the huge 15x10's or 18x10's it still has a place in DSP.......

God knows when I'll be able to buy a seperate dedicated set of wheels for wets......I'll have to use stock wheels for awhile for that.

With intense anticipation of this wheel, I am now sorry to say my current budget wont allow this purchase. I will have to wait until early spring for the new rims and slicks.
The question i have now is, how many are being produced / To what extent will these wheels remain on the market?

Jack,

thanks for your information update and encouraging someone to come out with these. The Kazeras were a good offering, but I definitely think these look cooler and 15x8s rock.

Yeah, the Kazeras were a nice wheel I thought and the main goal was to get a decent, low price wheel available for SpecE30. The Kazera fit that bill perfectly. But I'd been pushing TR to find me a replacement for the 15x8 Koseis that I ran on my E30 M3. It's really only natural for them to make this wheel in multiple fitments in order to keep cost/price down. And it benefits many others rather than just the small E30 M3 crowd, glad they did it this way.

Cheers.

Ah, yes, brake clearance. I sent in I think 2 templates. Let me see if I received a response. Seems like I did but I may have had another question or something. Sorry to have dropped this. I'll report back tomorrow.

Cheers.

Still waiting to hear back on this.....

Cheers.

Its for purging. When you fill it with nitrogen, you let the normal air out the other end until the tire is completely Nitrogen.

Hey, why is there 2 holes for valve stems? I saw another wheel like this and didn't know why.

Ok, I see the info is already posted here. Yeah, confirmed again today that the initial shipment is due mid Sept. I asked which sizes will be in this shipment and, without confirmation yet, it seems there will be some of all sizes.

Regarding weights of the 15x7...I expressed the need for them to weigh 13lbs for SpecE30 and was told this would be addressed but perhaps it's not updated on their site yet. As stated in an earlier post, if they are listed as 12.9lbs I'm fairly certain you'll be hard pressed to find one under 13lbs.

Yes, these are likely to be out before anything from other vendors and I'd like to think this is because of me. I've been hounding them to make at least a 15x8 replacement in 5 lug since the Kosei's went away....for like 2 years now. I think they likely would have made something anyway but I also think me pushing this has made it happen much sooner. I also looked at other options to get stuff made but given the investment required to get wheels made it just wasn't a reasonable option for me. Plus honestly most of the options that were more affordable look a lot like ass warmed over. I've never felt the Koseis were attractive by any means but man, some of the stuff out there today makes me ill. Blagh.

Course style/appearance is quite subjective anyway so in the end perhaps most people find this design ass ugly.

Cheers.

Were you ever able to check the inner barrell to see clearance for brakes (bbk)? How about a side profile so we can see how concave the spokes are?

Ah, yes, brake clearance. I sent in I think 2 templates. Let me see if I received a response. Seems like I did but I may have had another question or something. Sorry to have dropped this. I'll report back tomorrow.

I think +20.

[evil_twin]

I might have missed this, but what is the offset going to be on these wheels for the 15x8s?
