Thumbs down

I have just puchased the Tri Point Engineering Wide Body Kit and I would really like to have a set of 18 x 11.5 inch rims in the Rear but I cannot find any where I can buy them ( not even at the BBS Web Site ) I need help so someone plese hear my weary plea.



Also I am interested in converting to a 1 Lug Racing Conversion like the Dayton Spoke Rims or the style that is being used in the JGTC. Any info on one of these or both would greatly be appreciated. Tank you ... ...

you will have to contact BBS and order a custom wheel size, it will be very expensive and take several months. as far as the single lug thing, a few years ago there was a guy that was talking about doing this for his FD and i pointed out that it was going to cost ALOT to do, he told me to shut up and that he could afford it and blah blah, well i have yet to see anyone do it. Is there any reason you want to do it or just because?

the only reason to go to singe lug wheels is if you are going to race your car professionally. Most scca guys don't run single lugs. I wouldn't do it. But thats just me and my cheap *** self.

If I was rich, and had money to waste on relatively pointless, gucci ****, on a streetcar. I'd do it. Otherwise why waste money?



Drftr 101, did you get it done? I've always been curious exactly how expensive, EXPENSIVE is.
