Show us your wheels ..

Just saw these wheels on the 949 racing website.. and thought they looked magic! They're supposed to be 15's.

until...
being as bored as I am at work.. in this 15day >40deg heat wave ..

I spotted they where photoshopped.. :shock:

If you zoom in on the wheels you can see the shoddy photoshop cropping.

An average photoshopping job but just goes to show you cant always believe the false advertising that you see these days.

those 949 wheels are 15x8 as can be seen on Cal's 2F car.....which is also the blue MX5 you see on their website. Nice wheels.

Cheers,
Julian

And you can get 15x7 949 rims from Iron Canyon Racing only,
but don't hold your breath waiting for them to answer your email.
Beautiful rims, nice and light and different, but I couldn't be bothered after waiting 3 weeks and numerous emails.

Just a comment re tyre / wheel weights. Just as rims vary considerably in weight so do some tyres. A few years back when I was in the industry we did a comparo of 4 brands of tyres for a standard family sedan size and there was a 1kg variation per tyre.

Work Equips are just Porn!!!

I think you can say goodbye to your MX5 handling nice though. I would also be parking about 1m out from the gutter to protect them :mrgreen:

, cant wait to see them on the car.
