I got a set of rims for 518 USD. 7.5x16 inch with offset 35mm and some 225/45/16 will roll on those rims. Those are my offset test rims, cause when I was a little ricer I pulled all my 4 fenders about 1 inch to get the 8.5x17 offset 30mm with 225/35/17 fit. When the 35mm is to low and the tire sticks too much inside the fender I will go for offset 30mm and when it sticks too much out, I will jump on 42mm offset Volk te37



When I have my Volks I will take those OZ F1 cup fpr track and run Slicks on em. Too bad this rim weight 21 lbs


WHY THE **** ARE NO LIGHT WEIGHT RIMS IN EUROPE AVAILABLE!!!!!!!!!!!! No Supperleggeras, no te37, no regamaster EVOs, no cp035 no spoons, no mugen

I do this rim test, cause I donīt want to order expensive Volks and then I donīt liek the dimension I bought.

My old 8.5x17 offset 30mm, 225/35/17 rim



Christian - who wished he had never spent 1300 USD for pulling out the fenders.

Glad you found something that will work with your setup.

post some pics when you get them on. I'd like to see that.

 

Won't 35mm offset affect the handling (scrub radius)?

 

yeah TUV sux big!

There is also no good designed rim available except this one. The PCD 5x114.3 is very rare in Europe. Only a few Hondas, 2 MAzdas and very rare Japanese cars have them European rim manufactor donīt produse for that kind of cars.

Rays, Desmond, Hart, Mugen, Spoon and OZ U.S.A. OWNZ all other rim companys

 

in 7.5 inch it is realy hard to find a other choice in offset. A 7inch is ugly in my taste for 225 tires. The tire look like a ballon on the rim.
