Thread: 225 45 15s anyone? offset? rubbing?

I would rock those in a heart beat (so much cheaper than my wheels too) if I weren't so hooked on the looks of the Panasport. Will these clear 11" fastbrakes without a spacer? They should being +25mm offset...

I'm waiting to see more of those wheels in action at local track events before I invest in a set....

they are too new right now IMHO...

I thought they'd been around for at least 5 years. Hell, I thought they'd been around for ever...

The wheels are being flogged by SM and some IT Honda guys without issue. I have owned Volks, Kosei's, Enkei RPF 1's, and many other wheels. In all of the wheels I have owned none have been as straight and taken as little weight as the 949 wheels. 3 wheels took 1/2oz and 1 wheel took 1 oz.

I understand they are new, but I would not hesitate to rock them on the track! Heck they have a heavier SM wheel in the same offset if that suits your fancy....

Just ordered two street tires sized 225/45/15 from Tire Rack - Your performance experts for tires and wheels (guess which ones). They were within $10 of the shipped price at Edge Racing - Home and were actually in stock at the tire rack. First time I've found the tire rack to have competitive prices. They will be put in the back first to see fitment and then moved to the front for better driving impressions. If they work out well in the rear I'll get two more. This is gunna be fun. =D

Edit: I realize now tire rack may change which tires they carry, so for prosperity, I'll say I got the Hankook Ventus R-S2 tires and am very happy with them. At the time, they were the only tire in that size (225/45/15) that tire rack carried and still are at the time of this edit.
