Speedy Wheels on Speedy3

[freebird_78]

Just got in my new Speedy Wheels Lite-Fins in 18x7.5 with Nitto NT555s in 225/40s.

Threw them on the scale including the lug nuts and here's what I got (see pic): 42.5lbs. Threw the OEMs on, including lug nuts, and they where 48lbs. Not too shabby, 5.5lbs lighter even though they're 0.5" wider.

Was getting dark when I finally got them on the car, so no pics yet. Plus, I have a trackday/race class with the bike tomorrow ((laugh)!) so I probably won't have pics till Sunday. Suffice it to say I think they look really good, but I really need to get some Cobb springs now.

those look great!!! I can't wait to see them on the car!

I looked at some Enkeis that were similar but the offset wouldn't work on our car & I dont think they make them in an o/s that does work. Not trying to bite your style but if you don't mind, how much did they set you back?

(bang)I have a set of enkeis on my speed3 and because of the off set i cant lower the car untill i sell them.

Yeah, they have to get them from the importer to them, then they ship to you. Ordered mine on a Sunday, and 2 Mondays later, they shipped. They're pretty good about shipping.

You'd be surprised. I got mine with the NT555s and lugs shipped for $1000.

Well, I don't know about slammed, but a drop, definately. I'm thinking Cobb springs.

Thanks. Thinking IF I paint the calipers, I'd do silver.

I've never heard of these rims before. Too bad they came mounted, I would have liked to know the weight of the rims by themselves. I went to the factory website and they don't post weights.
No clearance issues with the 45 offset? Just concerned because the factory rims are what, 52, and only 7 inches wide. These are a lot closer to the fenderwell and half an inch wider.

I called about the weight, and they're claiming 20 lbs. I looked all over and couldn't find the weight of the Nittos. All I know is -5.5lbs total.

As far as rubbing, I won't know until I get my springs, but just by looking at it, doesn't look like a problem. Enkei's are also 18x7.5 with 45mm offset, right?

[wisniaPl]

you can worry about rubbing problem when you order 40mm or 38 mm offset
