Paging Wheel Guru Rishie

[EXA4DRIVER]

Hey Rishie-

Can you get the Volk Gram Lights in a +48 offset? I was going to get them through my friend's shop, but now he's saying that you can only get a +48 with the 5x100 bolt pattern. The closest thing to a +48 in the 5x114.3 is a +40. Is this true? I trust my friend and all but I just wanted to get a second opinion from a true P5 wheel expert.

Thanks,

Jay

also,

if I want 18x8s on a MSP with spool springs, what offset/tiresize will i need to have no rubbing

what about with 18x7.5s?


thanks

well I have SPOOL springs, with 18x7.5" rims, I have a 48+ offset. Which is what I think you will need.

 

[Sir Nuke]

slug...as equinox stated....you can sneek a 7.5 in there...but an 8 inch rim? no way.

I think your partner may be right.

Well, I'm still undecided as to how to read this chart. I kinda looks like that they do have a listing for 5x114.3 at a +48, but then again I was wondering if I was reading it right. You guys decide, I have been known to make simple things into something overly complex.
Fitament Chart for Gram Lights 57C
I'll be talking to Rishie today about some stuff I'm doing to my car and I'll try to remember to ask him for you.

But on another note, have you considered a cheaper alternative to the 57C's. The ROTA Attack are fairly similar and cost quite a bit less. In my opinion, the 57F look better than the 57C and seeing as how I can't afford the 57F's right now, I'll settle for the Rota Attacks.
These are the 57F (the F stands for forged) and the have a different finish to them.

These are the 57C (C of course stands for cast) and the have a painted clear coat finish like the Rota Attacks

These are the Rota Attack which also have a decent weight (16.5 lbs for the 17's)
They have the same design as the 57F, but come with the painted clear coated look of the 57C.

A thing to remember is that the 57C's biggest size is a 17. If you want an 18 you'll have to opt for the 57F's. They are offered in an 5x114.3 at a +48 offset in the 17x7.5, but the 18x7.5 is only offered in a +40 which probably won't work for a P5, but you can get away with it when you have a very mild drop on a sedan. One last thing, the VOLK website is http://www.rayswheels.co.jp, it used to be volkracing.co.jp a while back. Hope I helped a little, good luck with your wheels and if for some reason, you have a hard time contacting Rishie, just shoot me a PM and I'll help you out. He has become a very busy guy and doesn't have time to get on message board to respond like he used to. He lives down way from me and the shop is also about 10 minutes from me.

Do you want the 57C, F, Pro, or F Pro. I'm gonna be getting the Fpro very soon. If I like them I will keep them and sell my perfect condition LE37T's in 18".

Pick the style or link me.

Thanks, Rishie

Thanks for the help APEX and Rishie.


APEX, those Rota Attacks to look really good. They also look like the A-Tech Final Speed.

Rishie, I'm interested in the 57C.

Once again, thanks for your help
