I'm starting out on a project to convert a 914 roller into an all electric vehicle.
That being said, one of the points to increase an EV's range is to decrease the weight and rolling resistance of the tires/rims. I've asked around locally and on a few of the usual web sites (like tirerack.com) but most of them tell me 'nothing is available in that size (4 on 130mm). Ideally I'd like to get a set of lightweight aluminum wheels in the 15 x 5 size - preferably under 15lbs. I've seen a few listed (like the 15 x 6 panasports) but would like to go a bit narrower if possible. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good source for a set of aluminum rims such as these? |
