Postby stevesports » Thu Nov 06, 2008 11:11 pm

cheers

AFAIK the majority of 15" wheels fit, Steve. RPF-01 don't, so that makes everyone think, "faaaaaaaark, what are we going to do enkeis don't fit the world is going to end what others will fiiiiiiiiiitttt????????".

Don't panic; most fit. Trial before you buy.

Actually there are quite a few 15" wheels that will fit

These will fit

6ULs
ASA EM1 (15 x 6½)
Enkei JS+M (15 x 6½)
Konig FeatherLite
Konig Helium
Konig Minuz
Konig Rewind
Nippon Racing F2
OZ Ultra/Super-Leggera
Rota Slipstream (15x7)
SSR Competition (15x6.5?)
Team Dynamics Pro 1.2
15x7 Enkei RF-1 (but you have to hit the banjo bolt head for a second with your angle grinder). And that's not a typo, I did not mean to type RP-F1
desmond regamasters

Won't fit:
Enkei RP-F1
Panasport (16's don't fit either)
???
???

Unknown, but inquiring minds want to know:

Some watties are heavy... some aren't... the magnesium ones come to mind as the lighter examples... :lol:
(wot sliq said :lol: ) beat me to the punch he did

But I'm guessing watanabes are better reputed for their strength/quality?
Some of them are rebranded SSRs after all

havier ones are like 6.67 kg which is kinda heavy

But they all look the same to me have to weigh them before you buy them.
