PacNW guys, if you want, I can bring them up to Thunderhill for you on the TC weekend. Ron from AIM told me that he will be providing track side service there for that event. You could get your shaved RA-1s & have them mounted @ the same time.

 

beautiful!!!!

 

Is the 15x7 size also for the Circuit 8's?

Rob

 

I believe this 15x7 run was for Slipstreams only.

 

Thanks for the info.

I'm looking for light wheels for my Civic. Is the extra 1/2" for better tire selection?

Thanks,
Rob

For the street no, it wont matter.

For track, i'd go for it.

Probably want to use a 205/50/15 either way.

 

what they said.

added in edit: If you guys still want them to have some made in the 5X114 pattern, you might want to spread the word about these being available. I know that these took quite a while to make it to the market. The hard part is done (molds, testing, production). Having some drilled for a different bolt pattern on a exisiting 'blank' should be realitively quick.

excuse the nub question, but if you can fit 205/50/15's on a 15x6.5 whats the point of getting 15x7's? I'm thinking the wider metal helps create a stiffer sidewall, but other than that, I dunno.

 

mad Vtak in Erd g3^R yO!

those look sweet!

 

the wider wheel keeps the tread 'flat-er' on the track/road.

 

whoa! I hope those are going to come in Subaru fitments too! I've been looking for a cheaper version of the ssr comps.

just a quick question. would a 225/50/15 fit ok on the 15 x 7 slip stream? or would that be squeezing the tire too much?

7" is right in the middle of the recommended wheel width range for the Toyo RA-1 in 225/50/15. I would think that other tires would be similar.

Is that black or gunmetal?

 

I'll be using advan ao32's in 225/50/15. I believe the shoulder shape would be the same. so using this setup on the 15x7 slipstream would be all right?

 

check this out: http://yokohamatire.com/pdf/AO32Rbltn.pdf

It places the 7" width right in the middle of the "approved" range.

Same here. 5x114.3 please

 

here's what I was told

they will be in 4x100 5x100 and 5x114 the offsets will be +40 - +48 It should be in the next 4 weeks or so

 

Would these wheels fit on a miata with no problem? I currently have 15x6.5 slipstreams that I switch between my civic and miata regularly.

Must have been some miscommunication. Rota won't be getting these in 15X7. Auto Innovations has the exclusive rights to the 56.1 hub bore (Honda/Acura hubcentric) 15X7 wheels.

They already offer them in 16X7. It is a stock item. Maybe they were out of stock & that is why there is a lead time.
