That fit without fender-bending/rolling/stretching.
I know about 6UL's, but next batch are not arriving until August.

Any other suggestion?
Pictures fitted on a BRG would be uber-awesome. :)

I know you said you know about 6UL's but hey, these are 15X8 and they are on a BRG, so I figured I'd add the picture anyways!

Slampen, just FYI, I had to roll all four of my fenders to fit 15x8 6ULs with 205/50R15 Star Specs on my black NA. Most 15x8 wheels have the same or lower offset than the 6ULs, so you may have to end up rolling the fenders to prevent rubbing.

You might want to check out the new rims Goodwin racing is selling now.

The 15X8's do require a fender roll. Not so with the 15X7's

Nice pictures. Bronze is looking good. :shock:

Hmmm. How about black wheels and black tow-hooks.


I know that there is a risk that I need fender roll. Specially if I want R888.
So, is the extra grip you get with wider wheels worth it?:shrug:

Didn't want to make a new thread for something basically similar, but what are some light 15x8 0 offset wheels? Looking for some lightness for an Exocet that'll fit under fenders without spacers, and the 15x8 0 offset is what I need.

And they are hot looking, but they are 13.6 lbs! :(

Weds MA86 if you can find them, 13lbs and forged. They made 15x7.5 -3 and 15x8.5 -10. JonB has some TE37SL's in that size but he said they're one of ~5 sets in the states. Drag racing and AutoX wheels, maybe the chassis will be lightweight enough that they will be safe to run on the street?

Don't forget about ET36 15x8 Kosei K4Rs as a 12.1lb per wheel option ;)

ET20, sounds like they need alot of fender-rolling.

Had to roll the fenders with volk TE37SL's at 15x8 +25. Advertised at 11.65 lb here (http://www.icbmotorsport.com/raysvolkracing.html). They're also available in 15x8 +35

There's also TE37V's in 15x8 +0 (L-Rim) and +25 (S-Rim). The (LL-Rim) is 15x9 -15.

Do RPF1's come in 15x8? I think they look awesome on our roadsters.

I will jump on the pre-order for 4th gen 6UL from Emilio@949Racing.
I'll go with 15x8 in Nickel. Placing an order on 9 wheels to night.

My Konig Flatout in bronze are 12.8 and would look great on a BRG.
