vto performance in AZ is the former Pack racing. http://www.vtowheels.com/


They have the Superlite wheels from Austrailia. I had a set on my ST and they were fine - but a bit heavy compared to Fuchs.

for $950. Less than new prices when they were available.

I've been extremely pleased with my 15x7 VTO minilite replicas.

Thanks for the info. Has anyone bought a set of the 4 lug wheels? What offset should 15x7 or 15x6.5 wheel have?

I have a set of the 4 lug. Not on the car yet, so can't say much. I do know they have to be clearanced for the hub centric.

I do not have hubcentric rotors.

I also have wheel studs, so Im not too worried about the lug nut seat shape.

FWIW, in case anyone searches and finds this thread in the future, here is a good old thread I was able to find on these wheels w/offset info:
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=69869&

I looked at the VTO/former Pack Racing site again and it looks they will drill the 15x7 25mm offset wheel in any lug pattern. I also saw that a lighter weight option for the wheel was mentioned in an old thread so I will ask about that as well. I'll call them on Monday and follow up here if I buy anything.

Thanks again for the info.

It is proving to be difficult to find these wheels in 4x130. Since the OP, I have been in contact with VTO and a company called Targett Motorsports.

The guy at VTO told me they don't have anyone to machine a 4x130 set and put me on a call-back list for whenever they get that sorted out. Something has happened to the VTO website since then. The 5x130s were in stock, IIRC.

John Targett sells the Minilite brand version of the wheel. He sent me a really detailed email with a lot of options and said he can custom order them from across the pond in 4x130. I am still trading emails with him, but it sounds like he has 5x130s in stock stateside.

I picked up most of the parts I need to convert my car to 5 lug today so I may just go that route.
