I am looking to get some wheels soon, and I want to stay small (15 or 16 inches). I found these wheels at Les Schwab tires; and since I have an account there I can get them now, rather than saving for months (and then it will be winter again). They are Motegi Track Lite rims. They are flat black and have an offset of +35. They are also forged and only weigh 9 lbs. Has anyone heard anything on these wheels? Also I was thinking of running 205/55R15 for tires. Is that too narrow for 6.5? The last dumb question I have is the spoke clearance looks a little better than the stock OEM rims (yes I read the other topics concerning this), so would my chances of clearing the 26mm Z calipers be good?

Searched the best I could before posting.

Here is a link to what the rims look like and specs.http://www.motegiracing.com/ap...=None

205-55 is perfect for a 6.5" wide wheel

I doubt it would clear Z32 brakes.

Yeah, I've decided against it. I really wanted 16's not 15's, but they were just available to get now. I'll just wait (probably till next year) to get some wheels. *Sigh*

I'll just have to drive on steelies for a while longer. I hate steelies.
