Old school JDM wheels in 17"


Recommended Posts

Hi Folks,

 

My favorite style wheels are the Hoshino G5 and Longchamps.

 

Here's a picture of my z about 15 years ago. It handled horribly due to the flexing of sidewall and I removed them. Wheel size 15x9f and 15x10r. Correct tire sizes are very difficult to come by nowadays and I'm opting to build this styling in a 3 piece wheel as well as the longchamps. In addition, my BBK will not fit inside a 15" barrel. I've CAD modeled both wheels and having and FEA analysis done before we machine the centers. My design will be 16" face with stepped lip to fit 17" tires.

 

 

Feel free to post or email me. I'm always busy and don't frequent the forums too often.
