I just ordered these http://www.bassettwheel.com/dhole_asphalt.html

They are a bit heavier at 17lb but there are many width, bolt patterns and back spacing avail. I went with 15x8 5" backspace. Decently priced for using them at the drag strip a few times a year. I couldnt afford $400/wheel for weld or exospeed.

I will report back this weekend once I fit them to the car.

Spinwerkes is another good option, middle of the road pricing range. Bisimoto sells them, shoot him a PM

sorry for the delay guys but here's some pics of the wheels/slicks mounted.

again these are 15x8" 5" backspace, had to use a 5mm spacer. they list a 4.75" or 4.5" backspace so they could maybe be used to avoid a spacer but im really happy with the way they fit. on to the pics...



front side caliper clearance


back side caliper clearance


with tires




inner fender w/ suspension compressed


$75 per wheel, i cant complain

^Sent you a PM about Spinwerks wheels. The 15x8's weigh in at 9.2 lbs a wheel. These are the same wheels used on all the Bisimoto cars. I also included a package price including shipping

Looks good! 2 questions. Where can i get a 5mm spacer from and did you balance the rims and tires?

spacers can be had just about anywhere. i just grabbed the universal 5-lug ones from summit racing. they carry like 5 brands. since these are racing ONLY wheels, i didnt worry about getting hub-centric ones. and yes they were balanced
