No i dont think so,i think was just looking at them before he got the evo corse wheels.

Just read they're supposed to be light and fit over Brembos without spacers, that's pretty cool!

I really like them - where do you buy them from?

 

[MrBlonde]

Yeah i the look of the anthracite braids.

Ah I see what you mean, that's the 8x15" wheel according to their website I think.

Not sure if you could run 8x15 square? Not sure if I could cope with 8/7 stagger with a flat rear wheel and dished front.

Definitely not a lightweight wheel but super strong

I have both styles. The top style flowformed? are heavy.
The bottom style that pms sell are light.

I have a pair of the top stlye in 7" width. And the bottom in 8".

Track car, the pictures is with 8" all round, wheels spaced, with wide tyres so maybe not the look you want.

Picture of staggered setup, both styles

How heavy are the first ones,ones in 7"?.

No i like the look on the photo of your track car,what size tyres have you used on the 8" wheels?.

The front is a 200/58 slick, which I think is more like a 215 road tyre ?
Rear was 205/50 A052, which seem to come out chunky.
Front is spaced 20mm rear spaced 13mm.

I would estimate the first style is similar weight to to an oz F1 9kg ish. The second style in 8" are close to the evo corse Weight.

7.2kg according to PMS in 7x15, second one 6.9, again according the PMS website.

Not sure if you'd notice 300 grams per corner.

I think you can get them in different materials/construction depending on there intended use. Mine are heavy compared to the second stlye.

I'll weigh them (with tyres). I would expect 4+ kg heavier

Like 2118, you can get mag ones which were light. The 2118 everyone runs around on now, are heavy.

Yeah 4kg is massive!
