tires and wheels 15 X 8 Wheel Possibility..

[jrkoupe]

Thought Id  share......Im working on this for e30's, but for some it'll work on an 02..:

 

this is my e30 intro:

 

Id like to get an idea if there is any substantial interest:

 

1)hi quality flow formed wheel( stronger than very common cast wheels, almost as strong as a forged wheel)...made by Jongbloed...a very well known brand for many years.

 

2)15 x 8

 

3)we can decide on offset...Im thinking +15 to around 20. But once we decide it will only be that offset.

 

4) here is an image from the manuf. of a Spec Miata 15 x 7 wheel. 5) We would add the extra inch to outboard side of wheel..so a lip per se.

 

6) 199.00 usd each.....the more folks want the cheaper it can be.

 

7) 57.1/ 4 x100, not multi drilled hub!..for our cars specifically.

 

8) under 14 lbs.

 

 

 

what else?..let me know. (thanks again to Buddy for starting me on this.....)

Nice looking wheel. Too wide for my car.

Too wide for mine, too.  That's a flare- only dimension for many of us.

 

If you went 15x7 et 25- 30, you could sell them to Pro3 racers up here.

If they make a Miata fitment that should work on an 02 or E30. I bought my Rota RBs from a Miata guy. I think they are ET30, so I run a 3mm spacer all around.

15 x 8 will need to be 0 et. 

 

Only the flared guys can run it. I'd be interested in it in a 16" as well.

 

 

Most people would be more interested in a 15 x 7 et 25 as mentioned above.

i understand and agree w/ all your points.

 

Im pointing this towards the e 30 chassis....but thought Id give u all a heads up because of my connection to this forum.

 

 

there is a miata wheel...15 x 7 avail....w/ like a hi 20 or lo 30 offset iirc.....see Phils Tires in NY
