Just in case someone was interested. I just ordered a set. Lugs were included for free. Talked to Nate @ x688. He states that there are 3~4 sets left in silver only.

 

how much?

I was thinking about selling my current wheels and getting some

 

15X8?? I didnt' think they came in that size!

 

Oops. $139.00 each.

I know dude! But it's true!

 

Thier website only lists 15x7 +32 and +38 at $119 each.

 

It's like a secret or something. Looks like my link back to M.Net got deleted but it's mounted on a blue NA in the wheel/tire forum. I called Tirerack and mentioned that someone on the forum obtained a set thru them and sure enough...he dug 'em up. 3~4 sets left.

Thanks Dan!

 

Man I like those. I really want to scrap the 17's and get some lighter 15x8's

 

my k1 16x8s are +32. I think these wheels look incredible with the deeper dish.

 

Did you have to roll your fenders?

 

Shouldn't even with 16x8's depending on the tire overall diameter should be the same as teh 15x8's. I had already rolled mine from previous wheel/tire setup but you can just adjust your camber some to clear if need be. No biggy! I like the 15's but wish they would have had the 16's still (could have ran the 245/35/16 T1R).

 

How do these compare to the 15 x 8 that Emilio is selling??

 

Damn, these and the 6ULs are so tempting. I want to get rid of my 14x6 40 offset bad.

 

my sister put some 15" enkei rpf1 on her msm and it really livened up the car. I was surprised.

 

About the same! The K1's are a little heavier at 14lbs each where Emilio's are 12.8lbs. Offset on the K1 +32; Emilio's +40 or +20. So really depends on what style wheel you like. Emilio's wheels have a few more finishes and polished lips.

 

whos selling those black lug nuts.?

 

Looks good. That car is really low! Gotta love the fatty wheels/tires.

I have a set of gorrilla lugnuts from JC Whitney that look similar to that

 

what's the advantage of running 225s on 7" vs. 8"

 

Other than the fact 225's suggested rim width would be 7.5 - (8.0) - 8.5 I found this on yokahama's website "A wider wheel will improve handling at the expense of ride quality, while a narrower wheel will improve ride quality at the expense of handling. ". I'll ask my boss tomarrow I remember him saying something about it the other day..wanna say it was something to do with the tire wanting to actually fold. I dunno though! I did the opposite though! I knew I wanted 15x8 with mid to low offset for the stance and new the 225's would fit.

 

From what I just searched they'll fit on 7 - 8.5" I guess stiffen the sidewall is an advantage...all in all they look good.
