Anybody have some brand names of wheels that are made in the 17x9 to 9.5 48+offset and 5x100 pattern? I have looked at the normal racing wheels, volks, ssr, etc... but I couldn't find anything in that size. I have seen the three piece wheels like stompy has been running with the interchangable rim to increase the width, but I don't know the name of the manufacturer. This would probably be an ideal setup, so that if I switch from a 275 to a 315 I won't have to buy another full wheel. Thanks for the help.
Those are more bling than bang. I am looking for a racing wheel, thus the 9 to 9.5" wide wheel. All those wheels were 18's to 20+ show wheels.
Joel's wheels are custom made.... some ungodly cost too. Can't remember the maker's name. 5zingen make some 17x9 but I don't know the offset.
I've found Kodiaks, but they are close to 600/wheel. http://www.kodiakracingwheels.com/wheel-prices.php
The Kinesis is a race wheel used by Porsche, And built by Asanti. And they will build them for any make and model.
I thought Porsche used BBS wheels. Either way, I haven't been able to navigate that site to get a quote for a custom wheel in a 17x9.5.
Yeah, he was running them with Azeni's at the June Columbia. I was very jealous, they look hot. That wheel weights website was a huge help. There are a few sets of wheels from advan and a few others that have similar or less weight for almost half the price. The CCW are 2200/set for base price while I have seen others for 300-400/wheel. Most of the wider stuff that I am finding (non custom) bolt pattern's are the STi's, not the 5x100.
Yes that is correct, but not many people desire to race 04's. Hub problems. Someone from another board pointed me in the direction of the Works. They have a lot of 5x100 wheels in the 17x9.5.
Does anyone know what offset should be run on a 9.5" wheel? Its a 275 tire, 10.3" tread. I calculated about 32mm offset, but if anyone knows of an offset someone else has used and works, that would be great. I imagine the offset would be the same as any STi also. Nevermind, found the NASIOC thread about offset. Looks like people are using 45 offset with a 8mm spacer.
