I just received my set of Diamond Race Wheels, lightweight steel wheels in the Porsche lug pattern of 5x130. the wheels are 15" x 10" at approx 20lbs a wheel
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i288.photobucket.com-10399-1406560361.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i288.photobucket.com-10399-1406560361.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i288.photobucket.com-10399-1406560361.3.jpg) I have a set of used radial Hoosier Formula Atlantic fronts mounted on the rims. My prior set up was cantilevered biasply slicks on a set of 15x7 cookie cutters. The cookies and canti's weight was 33.6 lbs and the new steel 15x10's and radials weight is 40.2. They were approx $150 each shipped!!! |

They were approx $150 each shipped!!! Not trying to be a hard ass, but.... Never heard of someone bragging up a weight gain.....and unsprung weight to boot. I was always leery of the FA tires. They are designed to support a car weighing 1000 lb or less. My AXer came on at about 1700 lbs so I was very weigh conscious......but I gotta admit, the wheel price is right. My 16X10s weighed 11 lbs ea.....not a friendly price. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) .....but light weight helps all the time. Wide wheels up front gave me an incurable push......scrub radius problems, me thinks.......cured with narrower wheels (8 inch) & cantis. Good luck |
