View Full Version : 15x8 Racing Wheels?

Anyone know any places to check for good 15x8 racing wheels that don't cost a fortune. Revolution seem to be close I've seen way too many Revolution wheels shredded beyond belief.

I've check with Circle Wheels to build a custom set, but they can't handle the offset (et 37ish?) with an off the shelf center.

Ideally, I think I'd like to run 15x8s with 225/50x15s...all the tires for my 16x8's seem to be too tall, and I need to keep the gear ratios down with the M42...

Thanks!

Is the 318 also a 5x120?

Kosei K1's...cheap and lightweight.

Thanks Brian -- that's a pretty good idea. The thing about 15x8 Kosei K1's is they only come in 32mm offset, a bit low for the typical e36, it seemed. Fender work would be okay on this car, but I'd just need to factor in the cost. Have you ever fit a set of these wheels on an e36?

Badmonkey -- yep 5x120 like the other e36s. In some ways that hurts, there are a ton of cheap & light 15" rims with bolt patterns for Hondas. :rolleyes: The Rota Slipstream is an example.
