Pro race 1.2 15 inch wheels
Andy B - 18/3/12 at 09:02 AM

As these are standard fitment on Sabre, we are now holding large stocks of pro race1.2 7 x 15 in et 35 offset. Gloss black is the stock colour but we are able to supply other sizes, offsets and colours. The 7 x 15 wheels work out at £85 plus vat and carriage each. Just thought it might be of use to some people.
Best regards

Sounds like a good price. Can you get these in BMW fitment (5x120 PCD)?

Sorry should have said standard is ford fitment but I will ask on Monday

Dave, they will not make that wheel in 15" in BMW fitment, there just isn't enough material in the centre. I've dealt directly with the factory about this. The sales bloke said it was do-able so I placed the order, a week later the production manager called me back to say they couldn't do 5x 120 and happy with the strength of the wheel. I reluctantly ended up going for 16s, at least that way you won't have to mod the rear callipers.

Ah, that's a shame but not a total surprise, nowhere seems to make 5x120 wheels in sizes below 16". Except for the BMW standard wheels, of course, but these aren't exactly the last word in style or light weight. Maybe I'll go with 16s instead. Do you have any contact details for the guy you dealt with?

Sorry I don't no, I think they do make other wheels in 5x120 in 15", if you look on the website they list all the wheels and offsets with stud patterns.

With the 16s with 205 40 tyres they are pretty much same rolling diameter as 195 50 16s, downside being the tyres are more pricey.

Any discount on purchase of 4? (ie to compete with ebay prices?)

Andy B - 18/3/12 at 06:29 PM

Sorry thats the best we can do on them, I thought it was real competitive and cant seem to find them anywhere near that price on ebay new, but it has been a long day and I might have missed a trick

Looks like they do the ProRace 3 in 15" 5x120, it's quite a bit heavier as I think it's a rally wheel, but I think it might still be a win over an expensive lightweight 16" wheel when you factor in lighter tyres. It's a nice looking one too.
