New Race Wheels!
YEEHAW! So after months of waiting I finally received my Lenso VPDs today. 13 x 7.5 with a 25mm offset, 9 lbs. and finished gunmetal grey. They were sitting in customs for about a month.
Kudos to Exospeed racing in Cali for still being able to get these. Now I just have to get my tires mounted.

I guess I deserve that... it was fun while it lasted.
BTW, they were about the same price as a set of rotas.

They look hot. What tires again?

As much as which type of Rotas?Originally Posted by Miatamoto
By the way, they look great!
I have a set of 205 60 13 Yokohama A048s waiting to be mounted. I got them off of ebay for $30 and plan on using them to get used to the setup.
I plan on getting a set of V710s or 225 45 13 Hankook Z214s (when they come out in March) for competitive stuff.

13"s will fit over 94+ brakes?
93 FMII + LOTS MORE

I've seen these wheels run on NBs. Certain 13" wheels will, some won't.

No way! We're using 30mm, 7" rim in SM with a 205 tire and the tire is right at the lip. The extra half inch adds 6.5 mm to each side + the extra 10mm offset and tire width adds another 10mm. That's more than an inch. The car in the picture looks ore like a stock setup. Am I missing something here? I keep drawing pictures and it always come out the same

Yes - the offset is 25mm on these wheels, not 20mm. So, you're only adding 11.5mm of total additional wheel width (6.5mm for the half inch increase in width, plus 5mm for the shallower offset). That's less than half an inch.No way! We're using 30mm, 7" rim in SM with a 205 tire and the tire is right at the lip.

Besides, the primary reason that Specs run 30mm offset wheels is because there are no 25mm, 13+lb, 15"x7" wheels, at least that I know of. If you could find 'em I bet you'd run 'em!
