Does anyone know of a company here in Aus that sells 4 stud deep dish, looking for 15x8 and I guess

a 0 offset. Even a supplier in Japan that does'nt involve trying to decrypt pages of Japanese. Or if you've got some tucked away that your willing to part with would be even better. I don't want Wantanabes, but will consider other spoked items. I've looked at import monster and not much in there, quite like some of the hayshiracing mags but again it's that whole Japanese decrypting that is a Head F #@K.

I'd also like a simple Y or N to the C210 being a 0 offset. Cheers

15x8 0 would be a good starting place. wouldnt be a hot boso fit but if your just going for a tidy street car thats where id start.. best bet is before you spend shitloads is to ask around on forums and test fit some wheels. importing is not feasable, and even people who own imported wheels want more now.

sportsmaxx make some decent sized wheels for the money. just under $900 delivered for a set of 15x8 0s

alternatively there is superlites/ challengers but i recon the challengers belong on a XY falcon and the superlites on an escort. good sized wheels for the coin though.

heres some inspiration

HGC211F14x8-6R14x105-38.jpg

Front: 14×8 -6 Rear: 14×10.5 -38 F: 175/60 R: 185/60

I think a zero offset for the front would be fine in an 8" but rears will need alot more negative offset to fill the guards(going from the above pic).

As for finding wheels, keep an eye on www.ae86drivingclub.com.au

often see wheels in decent negative offset pop up from time to time.

Thanks for the info, my rear guards will be cut out shortly and flared fenders attached so no problem with fitting 8" rims. So 0 offset for front and back should be ok. Looked at ae86 tonight and there does appear to be a few rims like what I'm after selling there. Again thanks Ricky, Dsh4, are those Wantanabes? they don't look so bad. Don't suppose you post items from there do you?

Thanks for the encouraging responses guys, as i said in my opening thread I'm not so keen on the Wantanabe look. I've seen so many other mags on C210's all in Japan of course, so there must be a heap of different designs available. Probably just not over here.

Infiniteautosport.com.au I just found this site whilst googling sportsmax 002. They've got some ok looking rims. Mostly 2nd's by the look of it. Once again thanks for your helpful info. With each new reply I'm finding more and more rims and avenues. Cheers. Don't spose anyones seen some Indy style rims, the ones with hole instead of spokes, I do like this style. In 4 weeks approx I'll be selling my rims for $400, near new tyres on each rim post-44326-1235565084_thumb.jpg,

Message sent to Steve. Had a long think about this offset business last night, and dsh4 is about on the money. Looked in my C210 service manual last night and found that the offset is + 25, but that's for a 5' rim. If I'm going 8" or even 9" the offset is definately going to have to swing back into negative by a long way. Think it's time too seek professional help as I don't want to stuff this up.

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
