15x7 or 15x8 for my SE but must be <5kg each!

The Buddy Club P1 Racing QF series are leading the pack for me at the moment but what else have you found?

I've currently got ENKEI RP-F1's fitted in 17x7 +43 ( shameless plug for the sale of these rims: http://www.aus-cartalk.com/viewtopic.php?t=26874 )

These are going to be fitted to a 2005 SE with sticky rubber for track duties...

Those in the know, thoughts appreciated!

IMO 15x8s are going to be heavier, more expensive and not necessary.

If you are going to run 205/50/15 semi slicks (which I assume you would) I wouldn't go bigger than 15x7.

Any pics of buddy clubs?

6OAGS - JUST FOR YOU :mrgreen:

I was thinkin' that about the 15x8's but damn they would be PHAT :shock:

(did I just use that term??)

Call Buddyclub if you are interested with those wheels. They have second hand white QF in 15 X7 & 4 X100PCD about 3 weeks ago.

Will be cheaper than paying retail

Don't forget Enkei RP-F1s (in 15\")!
Although getting them in in 15x7 may be abit hard... I've seen aussie distributors packing them... but 16x7 is ths smallest they go

CE28Ns in 15\" are also very light...
you generally can't go past Volks (although they don't look nice in small sizes)

15x8s all the way - especially as semi slick 205s are close to 225s in real terms and would appreciate the extra rim width.

Goodwin Racing USA will get you RPF1 in 15X7 +35 for about 1400 landed. Lighter, and cheaper than the BC QF.I dont mind the QF but they are not that light in comparison to other top shelf wheels, especially at the price they want for them.

BBS RGF also if you can get them.......Volk CE28N and RE30 are about as light as you can get. Also SSR Type C's are quite light too (sub 5kg). All in the +28 to +35 offset range - all are 15x7

RPF1 are probably better value if you can find in 15\", Volk's like CE28N are stronger (forged) but its not much lighter than RPF1.

My all time fave 15\" is Desmond Regamaster, I believe Irwin has them in his car. Its basically the same as Spoon Sports SW388, and its 3.8KG!!!

Don't the RPF-1's not clear the 2001+ bigger brake package in 15'?

Yup, from what I've read, the 15" RPF-1 won't clear the bigger brakes :evil:

15x8's - I'm havin' a tough time finding any though! 15x7 is all I've found so far.

If you still want to get 15 X7, you prob should consider these

Totally agree. Just did 2 weekends racing on my new 15x8's and I love them. I'm running 205/50/15's.

yummy!!

I like these: Work Equip 03 - 15x8 - 4x100 offset of your choice!!

What would the best offset be in this size?

desmond regamasters are pretty freakin light.. and clear SP size brakes no dramas.
im running 15x7's with 205/50s and quiet like them. but if the racers are sayin 15x8 id listen to them.
