Interesting OEM wheel at ECS

[illirep]

Does anyone know about these wheels? They are beautiful, OEM, and really cheap.

Are these so cheap because they don't come with the center caps and perhaps they can't be purchased anymore?

They should fit our cars as a square 8.5 setup.

Wow, what a smoking deal! And good chance that rim is made by BBS or Ronal.

Great price. There is alot of spokes on this rim and I think its not my cup of tea.

Really like the look of that wheel, thought I'd buy a set for the zhp....but 32#'s each, according to the sales guy at ECS. I'm looking for lighter and that ain't it!

smoking deal.........i wonder if its a true 2 piece with the face lifting out of the barrel. personally not my style either but again, SMOKING deal for brand new wheels.

wow ... $ 144 each.

Can any of our wheel buff's chime in? Will these fit good running the 8.5's in the front and rear? Any rubbing issues?

I'm not a fan of the baller look when the lip sits just at the edge of the fender, and certainly not extended beyond.

Thanks

I like but not at 32 lbs. Anyone do the math to see if they fit?

[danewilson77]

I'm positive they'll fit.

Mine are 8's at ET 45. These are 8.5's at ET 50....so....

I'd end up with a touch a touch more poke. I'm not sure what my current clearance is to my strut though. That's why he needs to check his current setup.

8.5 ET 50 is the stock rear style 135 rim. It will fit as a square setup no problem.

dayum!

I'm on the stock 135's with Michelin AS3's in OEM fitment. I believe these whees will fit no problem, and I can even use my existing tires. The fronts would be stretched slightly, but I think they'd work.

Dare I ask if anyone can photoshop these onto a ZHP sedan?
