[Fot] Racing Wheels

[Scott Janzen]

I just ordered a set of four spoke Revolutions for my GT6.  The owner, Warren, is very good to deal with, but I should say they are swamped with business, and it took quite a bit of persistence to get an order going - phone calls, as emails tended to go un-responded to for at least a week or two.  I would say lead time, including correspondence, pricing and machining is at best 5-6 weeks, and that assumes they have the right wheel “blank” in stock that they can drill for your bolt pattern and machine the backspace as needed.  This is not a criticism of the company - it’s like everything else right now - they had limited business for nine months, now everything is going gangbusters, supplies are difficult and they can’t hire enough qualified people - this is what he told me.  

However, price is very fair (my 13x6 wheels were only $136 each, plus $100 for shipping for all four), and the race wheels have steel inserts for the lug nut bearing surface, and come with lug nuts.  The exchange rate is in our favor right now!

I’m a bit biased, since I have them on my car, but Revolution wheels in the UK will drill and face custom offsets for you, and have both their 5 spoke and 8 spoke classic wheels in 15x9.  What sort of offset are you looking for?  They will make either side of zero offset from -24 to +08mm for the 8 spoke classic rally.  The offsets can be custom within a range, and varies by their wheel type.  Might be worth reaching out to the sales team; they were very helpful when I had them duplicate the specs on my 70’s era 5 spokes.

Call Tire Rack. They sell several brands of wheels. When I bought mine there (for my Miata) I also needed tires. They came mounted and balanced.

Afternoon: I'm searching for racing wheels for my TR8 racer. I had an order in with Keizer and unfortunately they had a bad fire this month and are out of commission for a while.
I'm looking for 15"  x 9" with 4 x 4.5" bolt pattern. Likely 3 piece because of offset.
Any preferences or good resources in the group?
 
Thanks!

Tim Cook
