Ill sell you my cragar soft 8's. 15x8 4 inch backspacing.

i cut 1.61's and 1.62's consistently.

They weigh in at 16 lbs a piece...a little on the heavy side, but with everything right they worked and worked well. I think the car had 1.5s in it but the slicks just got worn out or maybe the sidewall was worked down. I am not to sure but after corner balancing the car and a new alignment i cut 2 1.61's in a row and then after that it got worse and worse did 1.69's 1.68's then. I have also not been back to my home track since the corner balance so the other tracks could of been a reason behind it.

We dont have plans at the moment to do them in 5 lug. We have plans on making them in 15" with aggressive offsets soon but only in 4 lug still.

The potential sales on 15" in 5 lug is just not there to justify manufacturing them in that size.

15x8 are used in road racing and autocross applications. Miatas, Hondas, etc. Thats a big market for those.

To be honest with you, to make a wheel worth it, we would need to sell in the range of 300-400 units. I doubt we can sell that much in a short period of time.

i think lots of people would buy the 15 x 8 lenso's specially guys who want to step up to a bigger tire. right now your options for the 15x 8 " rims are awesome, but expensive. plus the low offset crew's, autocrossers, drag radial guys, etc... it would be cool if they were streetable.

It was Steve right?

yes we are actively working on the 15x8 VPD at the moment. So look for that in the near future.

I dont have any pics but I always used 15x7 or 15x8 slipstreams and never had an issue on my ITR. 15x7 is a pretty common slipstream and you can get two pretty cheap. The 15x8 was done on a group buy years ago in the ITR forum. If your lucky you can find a set floating around out there somewhere.

Actually we do. We have 1 design in the works. Non-Staggered though. But how soon it will be available, I dont know yet. We have other wheels we're releasing first later this year before we get them in production.
