They were probably around $400 per wheel new. For barrels, you will proably be looking for 15" standard reverse barrels.

On a quick note...I had 2 tall EX-C caps that had jammed locks...took them apart (nerve racking) and was able to fix the lock. Couldn't believe I put that thing back together...

Ok thanks. One last question how do i know what barrels will be offset size without bolting together and measuring? I am a noob with rebarreling and such. Hope they have stickers giving width and offset?

Most of these barrels are welded so what ever they are spec'ed at is close to what you'll get depending on your centers....

offset is on the barrel but will say type a, b or c offset. to really measure, put a few bolts in the face and follow these directions to get the wheel centerline then get the offset https://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html

Ok cool thanks for the link. One last question about my mk2r's. Are the centers cast or forged? As in can the faces be fully polished like the lips?

Just an FYI, not all of these are standard reverse. NEO, Bang Vec and Hasemi use full reverse (in 15") barrels. You might just wanna post a close up pic of your wheel to better see what you need. Also, Demon Camber are not produced by Speed Star.

Mike- I got the lock figured out, but still have no clue how the damn key works lol.

Is it just me or does the barrel/lip look funky? It looks like a standard reverse...

Yes, you can mirror polish the faces (the are cast).

I am sure its just the lighting...looks like the face meets the lip at the top and there looks to be a gap between the lip and face at the bottom.

Now the weird thing is that I hear a clicking sound coming from one of the wheels. It is only once a rotation and only going forward. I moved the wheel to a different location and it still made noise. The bolts are torqued to 22 ft-lbs. Anyone know what could be causing this? I hope the center piece isn't cracked where it is sandwiched between the inner and outer barrel.
Love them. Let me know when you get bored of these. I'll be the first one to buy. These would be perfect for my Miata.

They were originally 15x6.5 +20

The faces are custom machined and were mounted inside the lips rather than outside.

That's why they look different from any other Spinner mesh wheel..

I actually noticed that when I saw the pics from the Speedhunters article. Looks different for sure that way. Who did the restore?
