Call Diamond for pricing, I bought my set for less than the $75/wheel listed in the other post (I think maybe $65/wheel from a local retailer). That was 13x7.

I've heard that someone found a set of 13" x 7.5" wheels (not sure about the width) that would fit over a GSR's brakes. I've been looking into these as an alternative for an auto-x only and cheap alternative to stock sizes (on a tight budget but I want a race only setup). Tires only cost about $40 a pop for some soft Sumitomo's. I'm running in STS and the set-up applies to those rules. Anyone know which wheels these are, how much, or have a link related to it? I've been searching around but haven't come up with anything.

I remember a guy on the list who ran his GSR in DSP with 13 inch wheels. He said Panasports were the only one's he could find that would fit over GSR brakes. Cha-ching!!!! So much for the tight budget. Looked really good on his car though...

That's what I was afraid of. About $200 for 13"ers certainly qualifies for a grand ol' CHA-CHING. So no known steelies will fit then? I will look into the Panasports in the future, but at least tires will remain cheap even if the wheels are a very pretty penny.

I've seen Panasports on Mike Neary's DSP GSR. But not the one-piece.

I've heard some of the Keizers will fit, but again, multi-piece and cha-ching.
