Lightweight wheels - Negative Offset
Looking for some wheel recommendations, criteria are:-
Lightweight
Available in low positive offset or, better still, negative offset
Available in either 16" or 17" with rim widths of (probably) 8" & 10"
Compomotive don't seem to do much with low or negative offsets, Rimstock (Drifz etc) don't seem to do the sizes, don't really want
to run to the expense of Image 3 piece. The design of the wheel is less important than the above criteria.
Any suggestions welcome, have tried Googling to no avail.
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

ferrari wheels !! 7 and 8 inch .
the early 308-328 have zero offset , unfortunately wrong pcd/studs for you .
i think you might struggle with this, unless you do go with image etc .
otherwise look across the pond and see what they make , might be some off teh shelf but not that lightweight .

Have you tried Image wheels?? they do split rims and MAY be able to help you. I know they do up to 10 inch wide in 13 inch dia.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Cant understand the logic... 16"-17" wheel/tyre combination are heavier than 13"-14" wheel/tyre combination. If looks
don't matter, whats the point, or is that a stupid question?

what about some "proper" spacers?
the ones that bolt to the hub then have extra bolts that the wheel attaches to.

A local W&stfield owner had some Minilite lookalikes made in a negative offset for the rear of his car. They were the same price as standard ones
when he got the bill.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

The 16/17" wheel is to get a similar rolling radius to F1. this is for the Furore, neg offset is required to increase the rear track & it
gives a wheel with a similar "deep dish" effect to F1, when I said the style of wheel didn't matter too much may have been a bit
misleading as the whole thing is about the aesthetics up to a point. "Proper" spacers would give the track increase but I don't like
them! I have them on the existing car under sufferance!
