"different" 15" drag racing wheels

[Tocchi]

basically, i dont want the usual 15"" rims that EVERY fucking drag car seems to have.

and simmons dont make FR15s


are there any (15") Jap rims (5x114.3) that are 12" wide and such.
surely the Japs would have 'designer' rims for their drag racing in Japan.


if anybody has any sites let me know... all i can find are sites with the run of the mill wheels :(


btw, need to be 15x3.5 and 15x12

Centreline Convo Pro.

Anything else = dead to me.

Just get any 15" wheel you like the design of & have them widened???

[Tocchi]

yeahlow34, im dead to you. haha

Dean, im not certain you can get alloy/magnesium rims widened. i was under the impression it was steel rims only

Wouldn't have a clue as i've never looked into it myself buddy. Worth an ask though

are we talkin bead lock drag rims or just standard, wide ass 15 inch rims?

Gotta be carefull here man, You need to run Tubes for certain slicks, and some need bead locking, Its not just a case of finding a wide enough rim, but a rim to suit the purpose.

Get a hold of a rocket industries catalog, they stock a few there, if not, look America ways they have more vaiety, bigger prepped track drag racing scene. Most of the japs run smaller stock rims with street type slicks.

youll probly stuggle to find 15x12's in jap wheels. 15x10s are more common, but still a highly sort after/expensive rim even in japan.

hayashi wheels mite be good to look at. fairly cheap.

the street series come in 15x10 -25
and they are remaking 'cherry blossoms' (the ultimate classic jdm wheel) in 14x12 with -62 offset.

heres somthin worth looking at tho.
diamondracing.com -american site that make some badass drag/track/offroad rims in virtually any size and offset you want, with heaps of options. you prob wont spend more than $150AUD per wheel too.

no probs will look into it.

at the moment im running 31x13s on 15x12" Cragar superlites/draglites, and 15x3.5" front runner rims.
they have a bead lock on them. so im unsure if theres a tube in them.
