New 15x8 wheel coming!

[2002maniac]

I'd like to bump this in regard to a recent post by fellow group buy pusher for a custom set of rims.


Meaning et20 is as close as reasonbly possible. It would be safer to be slightly inside this estimate.

et18 would guarantee my purchase

This is true. et20 is fine for all but the widest R-comps. In my personal experience with 15x8 et20 rotas:

225/50/15 V710's fit fine with no rubbing
225/50/15 RA1's fit fine
225/50 or 45/15 Hoosiers need a small spacer.

et18 would be perfect.

Remember the street use far outnumbers the track use. Money always talks. Which means fender hitting is an issue.

Very nice wheels and price. I may end up getting a set (surely not first one out the door, but eventually).

Is there a chance of the 15x7 being ballasted up to just over 13lbs?

Does Spec or some other series mandate a certain wheel weight?

Not likely, there are already other SpecE30 legal options out there. I will ask though.

Right now, which is not set in stone, the 8's will be ET20, the 7.5's are TBD (but possibly ET22), and the 7's ET25. And I'm still pushing hard for 10lbs. ; )

Cheers.

et 18 and that will guarantee a set form me!

edit nvm posted before i could lol thanks

I'd say go for et20 on the 15x8s. Lower will cause issues with rear fender clearance, and running a 3mm spacer is not a big deal.

Elephant... any news on timeline.

The more I look around I like these wheels best hands down. They fit the bill for looks, price, weight etc.

I'm sure I'm one of few, but I'd love to see someone come out w/ a wheel that was unfinished so the end user could finish them how they like. I know this isn't at all likely.

I'm most curious about the ETA for these. ET 20/22 for 15x8's is no big deal to me as I'm willing run spacers to make things work.

I just hope they are coming sooner than later. Really want a set or two.

I'd love to be a tester for if you need one to try out some earlier pre-production sets perhaps. :D

Thanks - Jon

It would be awesome if the 15x7 weighed in a dead-even 13 pounds
(spec rules)

You Spec guys have plenty of wheels to choose from. Let us no-Spec guys have a light wheel for a change. ;)


Updates?

when are these coming out! i need a set of wheels.

[red]

if these were in 16 and came in time attack style i'd get these in a heartbeat.

[-limp-]

these things in 15x7 et25 would not look too bad for a street car at all very tempting for a hundred a pop

Make a 17 x 8 ET 28 that's lighter and cheaper than the TD Pro Race 1.2 and you can count me in for a set.
