New 15x8 wheel coming!

[Massive Lee]

The 1.3 is currently only available for Miatas. Not for e30s yet. have seen a few itterations of the 1.3s over the past year. Some looking like the 1.0, some looking like the 1.2

Hpefully the one that will sell is the version that looks like the 1.0 for aed clearance.

^Bimmerworld is showing a 15 x 7 ET 25 E30 fitment on their web site.

[Massive Lee]

Just saw that. The shape seems slightly different from the pictures available last year.

$99.00 each. Wow.

[xLibelle]

Those look nice.
Too bad my criteria is 15x8.

[z31maniac]

Yeah, that's a killer price.

You're experience with the 1.2 is that its close, but fits with a 3mm spacer, correct?

If so, unless the 1.3 has even less room (which it looks like it has a bit more) it should fit. I'm considering going ahead and ordering these.

That's too cheap.

Talk to Paul @ TeamIlluminata.com, he will get you a good price shipped on any TD wheel you want. And they will build them exactly to your specs.

in 15x7 these wheels have a +25

you are good to go.

You do need to file/grind off the corner of the caliper so that it doesn't rub on the barrel but the spokes have tons of clearance.

[z31maniac]

Yeah I read that, does it appear that a 3-5mm spacer would get it further away from the barrel, enough to not have to file the caliper down, correct?

I know it's not a structual area, but dropping that kind of coin on a kit, I don't really fancy the idea of taking a grinder to the calipers.

[SkinnyVT]

The 3mm spacer did not push it past the smaller diameter section of the barrel. You still need to file off the corner of the caliper. The 3mm spacer did help a lot with spoke clearance on the D-force 15x7's though.

FYI, I should be doing a test fit of the TRM 15x8's with the sport kit this weekend sometime.

The guys at Bimmerworld warn that these are track-only wheels that are very prone to bending if driven on the street.

[Massive Lee]

They must be real track wheels then. Like some Compomotive, which clearly states (and casts) that some wheels are track-only).

BTW Emre, two years ago, I was sent blueprints by Bimmerworld and Rimstock/100+ in the UK, which were not accurate. Having seen some 1.0s and 1.2s and the difference in clearance is evident.

That is very disappointing, do you know if they take the same stance on the D-Force wheel?

Maybe have to step up and buy Kosei's or something else then. The 949 in 8" wide is tempting as well.

VTSkinny, curious to see the fitment on the 15 x 8, keep up updated.

[Massive Lee]

The 949 in 8" wide is tempting as well.

I doubt that 949Racing's 6UL 15"x8" wheel offers anymore clearance. I think it is even less. Look at the wide lips, and how the ends of the spokes are inset.

[z31maniac]

Yeah I noticed that but based on the ET specs they list those wheels would need a 10-15mm spacer which would help with clearance.
