Im in, just sent PM...

Bavarian Motorist · 06-25-2008, 12:09 PM

Only 10 orders available? Why would they cap it at 10 if they can get more?

MidasHands · 06-25-2008, 12:12 PM

No - I had to commit to 10 sets for a minimum order to make this happen. We can only add to this order until the wheels go into production. Once the manufacturer goes into production with them no more can be added to the order. I believe we placed the orginal order back on June 13th. I just have not had a chance to post up about this till now.

payment sent, one more set gone!

I'm a bit confused... are the wheels better for AutoX than the standard LSS or Touring wheels?

MidasHands · 06-25-2008, 04:41 PM

E.D. - Not necessarily. We were just looking for an inexpensive set of wheels that we can use for racing slicks. So ultimately they will be better for us for AutoX because we will be running sticky tires rather than street tires.

MidasHands · 06-25-2008, 04:44 PM

Here's a head-on shot of the wheel if anyone wants to take a stab at PhotoShopping these on to a car. My PS job was not the best.

Note: This color is gloss black. The ones we ordered will be FLAT black.

E.D. · 06-25-2008, 05:08 PM

Hey I get it now, thx for explaining

cd4age · 06-25-2008, 05:35 PM

Deposit sent, hope I made the cut.

well, technically they are better because they're wider rims. This in turn allows you to run wider tires then you could with the lss wheels.

V-RAPTOR · 06-25-2008, 07:42 PM

Can any one tell me if the AD07 from the "touring wheels" will fit on these?

exarkun1178 · 06-25-2008, 07:51 PM

not in stock sizes.

V-RAPTOR · 06-25-2008, 07:55 PM

Thank you! What size would I need for the Rotas?

well spent some time looking at that. id call tire rack in the morning, however as far as i can tell youd be ok with the 245, or 255, but the fronts are a problem. the largest i see them in is the 175 55 in 16 inch rims....

my suggestion, Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec 225...or look at aO48, OR R888(MY CHOICE)
