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!!! |

I knew the term bragging was a poor choice.
God knows I tried to find a good tire/wheel set up. I finally settled on 8X15 Fuch in front with R35 cantis. 10 X 16 with 10X22.5, R35s in back. Strange but effective. Good enough to take any Porsche we came up against......& classs wins National Tour events...with Brit driving. I was old & slow....fit for tire warming only. The 914s front suspension is a limiting factor.....one can't get enough wheel backspace in here. Brit took care of that when he bought the car......Lotus Elise front suspension. Geting that on there was no small chore.....think he runs 11s or 12s up front now......then Goodyear quit making his tires....now he has problems. |
