Rims

[blehbear]

So which one did u end up deciding to get?

[Benny]

The wheels on my SP are indeed Lenso Maxis (Maxxiss?), and Tempe charges just over $700 for a set of 4, incouding fitting of tyres (that you supply) and balancing etc.
I don't know the weight, but they felt very light when I picked them up.

The ones I have have darker grey spokes than the photo and one more thing I like about them is that they are very easy to clean!

If someone would like to host the pics of them on the car, I'll be happy to send them to you.

They actually have quite a deep dish to them too, but the offset is just right and nothing rubs anywhere.

Ok just got an update

They don't have 42 offset in Australia for gun metal

so they have 35 offset so when comparing to the old stock NB8A rim there will be 1mm less clearance on the inside
and will extend an extra 11mm towards the outside

Now does anyone have 35 offset rims 6.5\"

Will that extend out of the guard?

Is there any reason why I should wait for the 42 to come in stock?

[Adam_NAclubman]

Thats still not going to be ANYWHERE near the guards

[PUR157]

Unless you extend any of the measurements by like... 50% or something... (offset... width etc) you shouldn't have any trouble...

At this end of the spectrum the biggest issue will be the width of the tyres, so leave those close to standard and you will be fine

Just trying my best to be on the safe side

better than buying something then relised that I just made a big F@#k up

[16bit]

i run 15x7's with plus 28 offset for the track and my car is about 50mm lower then yours - it will be fine! put it this way I am getting new street rims later this year that are 15 x 7.5 with plus 13 offset. thats 73mm of dish goodness and I will only need a little guard rolling and some slightly more aggressive camber maybe.

For sure! not knocking you or anything, just offering an opinion and/or reassurance
