As the new race car gets closer to coming home more goodies are starting to show up at my door. The latest is a set of Diamond Racing wheels...
16x10....powdercoated silver...will go on under the Sheridan narrow body kit.... Keep in mind that my HRE 3 pc 16x10's are $600 each and I was quoted $800 each for BBS equivalents.... These cost me ~$135 each... I weighed them against my Aluminum HRE's...they are noticeably heavier and substantially less expen$ive..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) 16x10 HRE's = 19.5 lbs each without tires 16x10 Diamond Avengers = 23lbs without tires Here's some pics... Bill P. Attached image(s)

Thanks Joe for putting the link to Diamond for Sean. You beat me to it!
Sean, Yes these are the Diamond Avenger series wheels. They are the 5x130mm bolt circle and have the standard lug taper, you can use them with the stock lugs and steel or aluminum acorn nuts. On the Diamond website they quote $120 each wheel which includes either a silver or black powdercoat. Diamond adds a surcharge depending on the cost of steel at the time you order. That's why my wheels turned out to be $137 each. If you want them chromed or powdercoated a different color, you pay more. The backspacing comes in 1/2 inch increments. I have to admit that they look alot better inperson than on the web, I'm impressed. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) These things look to be put together pretty well. The welds are nice on the center section against the bell. Hopefully the car will be up and running in the next 3 months and I'll get to try them out! Bill P. |
