This is for my old man, who can't seem to find anything. He originally wanted some Panasports, but was told by everyone he calls that there is none in the country right now. Some should be here in a month or so. He was also going to get a custom BBS wheel, but they were $800 a piece. We were aiming for half that at least.

He figured he would settle for something from this threads sponsor, tirerack, but apparently the lawyers own their decision making process. He was told by the rep on the phone that if the wheel does match like an OEM wheel, they won't sell it to you. Too many idiots in the world putting 22's on their civics I guess. His car is an old BMW 2002 that he uses in E production in SCCA. So the only thing they would sell him is like a 13x5. He got pissed and vowed to never deal with tirerack again. Sorry sponsor. I told him to custom order some Volk TE 37's or CE 28's. He may end up doing that, but I figured I would ask here to see what y'all thought.

Thanks in advance.

highly unlikely. tirerack will sell you a +1 or +2 size no problem. a more likely problem is that wacky +0 offset. why do you need such a low offset?

call keizer or kodiak. they can make you some custom wheels of whatever offset, width and diameter you could ever want for half the BBS price tag.

13's seem to be the norm in EP. low power cars that don't weigh a lot and all. is he sure he wants 15's?

Here ya go as an option
The sport max 002 slightly bigger at 15x8, but with a 0 offset. http://www.victoriatire.com/wh...ze=15

Also, panasport look alikes. Konig rewinds in 15x7 with a zero offset for those badarse rear drivers http://www.konigwheels.com/cat...d=143

As solo-x said, give Kodiak a call. Here's their contact info.

About the +0 offset. You see, were from New Mexico, where the low-rider is king. While trying to win races, were also trying to "keep it real". With the +0 offset, those rim will be sticking out like all my favorite "hommie-mobiles".

My dad has ordered a few diamond racing wheels just to check clearance, and is pretty sure the +0 offset if right for his application.

 

check out sportmax they have a 15x8 w/ a zero offset! nice looking wheel list for about $125 a wheel
