New 15x8 wheel coming!

[Mclassy]

I wish someone had a set already! I want to see them mounted.

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?

Sweet, they beat UUC/Bimmerworld to the punch

I'm not sure if they are working on anything right now. I'd talked to UUC about getting 15x8's made but the investment was just too much for me right now, I cannot tie up that much cash. Last year or at least quite a while ago both UUC and bw advertised 15x7 D Force wheels. I've yet to see anyone running them though, not sure if they ever came out or not. The D Force are decent looking wheels at least.

Cheers.

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.

15x7 are 12.9 lbs? Why could they not be an ounce or two heavier!!!!!!

Weigh them when you get a set, most weights on websites don't accurately reflect the real weight of the wheel.

The website says 9/15/08 for the inital batch.

Do they weigh them with or without balancing weights?
