I 've been talking with Diamond Racing Wheels about getting a few sets from them.
They've been very patient with my questions and I wanted to find out if anyone is using them.....I like the price! My new car will have 16x10's all around under a Roger Sheridan kit. I have one set of HRE mesh wheels that came with the car, but I need more sets. On my old car, I had 4 sets of cookies I bought for $50 each or traded for, so I could have 2 sets for the track and 2 sets for auto-x. Right now the Diamond Avenger series is 2 lbs per wheel heavier than my 3 pc HRE's, significant....but for the price....liveable. Anyone have experience with these wheels? As a datapoint, the HRE, BBS equivalent is ~$800 per rim....Kodiak is $405 each... I'm running out of money and trying to get the car brought in under my budget. Thanks, Bill P. |

I ran them for two years and never had any problems. My 15x8s are lug centric. I used stock lug bolts and alloy lug nuts without any problems. I even had them balance using the main center hole, which is a big no-no according to the manufacture. Never had an out of balance issue.
Just heard that they are charging a surcharge for high steel prices that could double the price of the wheels. |
