15x7 -15x7.5 6UL @ 949 Racing

Postby 949Racing » Sat Apr 03, 2010 3:31 pm

These long awaited 6UL sizes are finally going into production.

15x7 +36 4x100 5.4kg
15x7.5 +42 4x100 5.5kg

To reduce weight and retain a slightly wider lip, we eliminated brake clearance for the 11" Wilwood brake conversions. OEM 02-05 Mazda Miata Sport Brakes fit fine.

The two valves are for nitrogen purging. Nitrogen doesn't move around quite so much in temperature as normal air does. Great for racing but not something you'd bother with on the street.

So if not using nitrogen, you basicly gotta fill the 2nd hole (thinks dirty joke lol) with a unused valve?

Yeah...

I also thought it was for better wheel balance (evening out the weight).
