I need to find 16x8 or 9 wheels, and I'm having no luck. I don't want those EUROZ STYLEZ VEEDUHHHBs with 5" lips, these will be for circuit racing/time attacks etc.

Offset doesn't matter.
Bolt pattern either 4x100 or 114.3
Color doesnt matter
Weight, 16lbs or less. If it looks like it weighs 20lbs, it probably does!



Post up if you guys can find anything.

how about rotawheels.com? don't they sell them directly in that site?

are there any automotive surplus shops around your area? because i've some of those wheels mentioned on surplus shops like those Desmond Regamasters, Sprintharts, Watanabes and whatnot.

idk if this will help but you might want to check this out: http://yhst-1408381693991.stores.yah...rejdmrims.html

goodluck! laugh.gif

Hey there tanc!

Just wanted to let you know that I have the rota grid 16x8's on the car right now. As a headsup, you can only get them with +10mm offset, which means combined with the extra width, the wheel is pushed 2.5" farther toward the outside of the car, this makes handling MUCH better even than my 16x7 gram lights with falken azenis rt615's on them. I have bf goodrich 225/45/16's on the grids and the handling is outstanding, but beware, you will need a fender roller to flare out your fenders and you will still need to run 1.5-2 degrees of negative camber to get these babys to fit under the fenders with a 225 tire. That is if you like your car somewhat low.

Here is a link to some of the pics I have:

http://www.rdtiburon.com/index.php?showtop...mp;hl=rota+grid

Ahh, the NA tib, brings back good memories, lol.

Also, they are heavier than your specs, but with as much power as you have I don't think you should really worry about it, lol. I think they are about 21-22 lbs. With my bf goodrich kdw2's that weigh 22 lbs, the total combo weight is about 43-44 lbs.

As you can see from the pics the stance is absolutely crazy though!!!

Good luck my man.

Oh, if you have the money and want to spend about $2400 on a set of wheels (including likely shipping charges), here is a link to the actual volk te37's with an available offset of +38 (which may not be enough to clear your struts, which would require you to run a wheel spacer, but you could make the fit perfect, whereas I have about 3/4" between my wheel and my struts). So if you got these, you wouldn't have to roll the fenders as much as me (I had to pull my front fenders about 1-1.5" out, lol). Plus you know these babies are going to be light! :

http://www.nyxracing.com/volk-racing-te37-...43-p-10967.html

Also try: http://www.mackinindustries.com/, they are the only company that volk ships wheels to from japan, they are the only distributor in the cont. US.
