HATE 'EM ALL!

NDs need 15" or 16" rims, anything else is just for "try-hardparkin'".

Just looked up a definition of "hardparker" at http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Hard+Parker:

Hardparker
Noun, derived from the verb hardparking. One who has all manner of track and race modifications on his/her car, yet never goes to the track or auto-x.
"Jim's 325is with the M-tech body kit and Moton coil-overs and Turner sway bars, and that finned diff cover on the 3.23 LSD from Bob's totaled '99 M3, and the roll cage with fire supression system, and the 3.5" HFM and all his shizz under the hood is so hot right now."

"Yeah, dude, too bad he's a hardparker, if he learned how to drive that car would kill at the auto-x."

I see one ND with small rims and a helmet one. The go-karts in the background are a dead giveaway he is at an old Japanese racetrack.

Hardparker?

Sorry to disappoint mate but 17" is the go! :mrgreen:

Brain Goodwin will be trialing some 16x8 until properly fitting 17" options are available.

Emilio will have ND spec 6ULs available soon and guess what? They're both 17"! :wink:

We have no plans for a 17x7 for the ND. Tooling for our 17x8 and 17x9 fitments is done, first article samples due here in about 2 weeks. Both wheels were designed around the rather bulky Brembo so they have clearance to spare for upcoming Wilwood based kits. Wilwood has confirmed they're working on a front kit as are we.

I have not had a chance to weigh the ND BBS but I suspect it's very light. I'm told that the product planners were adamant that the Club could not weight more than the Sport. This is at least part of the reason the BBS/Brembo option exists. They are lighter than base trim bits.

Target weight for our 17x8 is 14.8 lbs. Not sure if we'll hit that but in CAD/FEA mass properties, we do.
