Got another wheel option for those of you looking for a good set of racing wheels... I just got in my new set of wheels from a company called 'HoleShot Wheels' here in FL. They are kinda new-ish to the import market (They did the wheels on the all-motor car 'Kilo'), but all in all, i'm very impressed with the job that they did for me on these wheels.

I'm not a dealer for HoleShot, but if you're interested in getting them, the guys name is John, and he can be reached at 800.372.4533. Tell him that John from RPI sent ya Keep in mind that the wheels are custom, and will draw custom prices and times for delivery. These took me at least 3 weeks to get made. They don't really do anything in 13", so these are really only an option for the guys who need 15" wheels, but when i talked to him about my wheels, he said that he had the materials to do one set of 13's...

Anyway, here are the fronts.. they are 15x9, with dual beadlocks...









Here are the skinnies...





Anyway, hope ya enjoyed

 

Very nice!
How much did it set you back if you don't mind me asking?
I have been thinking of making a set of wheels for myself, since I have the machinery to do it...

 

those look awsome..

 

will they do a 5x114.3 application!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks guys... i'm defiantely loving these wheels... they are gonna look hot once i get the tires mounted and the car on the ground I'll get some pics as soon as i get tires on these bad boys and have them mounted completely


ZoRG: The 15x9's were right about $525 for the pair if i'm not mistaken... the Beadlocks were $158 or so each (2 per wheel, 4 total = $632 for all the beadlocks installed). The skinnies are right around $180 each if i'm not mistaken. Sorry, i don't have exact pricing in front of me... could be more, could be a little less... you'd probably want to call up John at HoleShot for exact pricing.

Hella_JDM: I'm sure they will... just tell them what offset you need (7/8" steps at 1 inch increments... i.e. 1 7/8, 2 7/8, 3 7/8, etc...), and what bolt pattern, and they will make it... they machine the centers themselves, so i'm sure that they can accomidate the 4x114.3 request. Call up in the a.m. (EST) to talk to John... he usually leaves later in the day, so you have to catch him early

 

those are badass!!!

 

hotness

 

i like those wheels...

 

they look nice, but look very very heavy... whats the weight?

 

damn...nice alternative. reminds me of my dpr's but in 15s. **** i want a set, but am tight on cash right now. hopefully when i do have the $$, the price will have gone down somewhat. anyways, bump for some nice bead locked wheels!! jus like arturbo am also curious about the weight...

 

The weight is not 'too' bad i don't think... especially the fronts for havng the dual beadlocks welded on them with all those steel bolts, and the skinnies for having the heavier spindle mount hub installed in them... LOL.

The skinnies weigh in at 10.5 lbs with the spindle mount center, and the fronts weigh in (keep in mind this is with the dual beadlocks and everything), 20lbs... I have an old set of Weld Magnum skinnies over at a friends house that i can weigh and compare with, but they aren't spindle mounts...

I'm ok with the weight though.... they are extremely beefy, and i'd rather deal with an extra few lbs than a wheel that is too light and possibly flimsy

[edit] just got off the phone with John, and he said that the non-beadlocked fronts should be around 10.5-11lbs... the beadlocks add a lot of weight to the wheels...

big pimpin

 

those are nice - keeping secrets over there john

 

Meeee? Secrets??? LoL...

It seems that other people have the secrets.... like what is the secret to getting the tech guys over at NDRA to take me seriously and answer the tech questions that i have about my race car.... Seems Emilio likes ignoring people or something <shrug>maybe he doesn't believe that i really am running the series next year... or maybe not if i can't get a few simple questions answered... grrr.
