I have been looking into diamond racing wheels for abit now but i recently found that people have been buying steel whees, cutting the face out, and reversing it to get a better offset. does anyone have any pics of this on an s13? or know about the process?

im pretty sure you can order them w a negative offset;

cutting and welding wheels sounds like a bad idea;

get an oldschool 3 piece wheel and flip the barrels

I have 15" diamond racing wheels on my s13. Was told they're 8" 0 offset, fitment isn't bad. If you're interested I'm probably selling them

I'm asking about some low offset rims cuz I'm finally finishing off my aero :)
picking up my rear valence and side skirts this week, and the factory wheels won't look right, so I was planning on having some stupid offset wheels then pull the back fenders, and roll the fronts.
on a totally unrelated note; how do you properly install a rear valence?

I got your PM but it won't let me pm you back, says it's disabled. I'm looking for $175obo, they will be refinished cause of some curb rash, tires hold air but I think 2 or 3 are kinda bad.

i think diamond racing measures in backspacing...and they do custom so buy whatever you want, i think i got a quote from them awhile back when i wanted some 15x9 with a low offset would be like 130 bucks a wheel...i think
