Hey Rodney, these look exactly like the wheels I originally bought but didn't fit because of caliper interference. I also noticed they were pretty heavy. What did you feel about the increase in unsprung weight? I feel like a light weight aluminum 15x7 would perform better in the long run than a heavy 15x9 with wider tires and a wider track width. What did you think?

Also if you don't mind me asking what wheels did you replace these with? Lightweight 15x8?

what calipers do you have? this clear the 9.4 and 10.2 brake setups. if you have a huge brake setup, they will no work.

to be honest, i really didn't notice it unless i was fitting them to the car. seriously.

nah, 15x9 works a billion times better with a 225 kumho/hoosier. the 15x7 will work admirably with a 205, but for the larger tire, you need a larger wheel...

i had originally bought these wheels for practice wheels, as i already have a pair of lightweight aluminum 15x9's. i used them for a few local events and practice at the big events. i have since purchased another set of lightweight wheels, so i no longer need these.

 

what lightweight aluminum 15x9's did you use?

 

what's the offset on those? Would I need spacers to make them fit on my car?

I think he's running Keizers. He originally had 15x8.5s, but I think he either sold them and bought 9s, or had the 8.5s widened (replace outer shell) to 9s.

i see you have an 00 gsr. if you hav the stock brake setup, then no you will not need spacers.

 

did you ever sell those damned things rod?

wont fit my car. they'll probably hit my calipers

i used toyota lugnuts. they have the 45 degree taper. only thing that sucks is they are 21mm. yes, they will come with the wheels.

again, sorry about your car situation bro. let me know if you still want to cut a deal.

 

Is rolling/pulling you fender allowed in sts/stx? If it were I would probably snag them, hopefully I could roll them and pull them enough for these to fit. Any idea if its allowed and if its possible to mod the fender enough?

Those wheels are too wide for STS/STX - IIRC its 7.5/8" maximum

 

Hey, can I buy your rear ATS Comp lites? Please....

 

Are those Diamond racing wheels? If there are then crap because I was going to get a set as "traveling" wheels for my track car. I have the 11.1 Type R brake set up and from what I am reading those wheels will not clear the calipers? Please let me know if they are Diamond.
