I\'ve not posted for a while due to my FD blowing up a couple of months into ownership.....
whilst i\'m rebuilding it i\'ve decided to treat myself to some new wheels :chat
i\'ve near enough set my heart on a set of..... KEI D1 wheels with the hollow spokes and was just wondering if anyone else is running these or any other KEI wheels and how do they find them??
i\'ve been advised to go for:
18" x 8.5" ET 32 front
18" x 9.5" ET 35 rear
any comments on these sizes and offsets?
to what i have read on here that offset is wrong shoud be around 45-50 on a fd
with the wheels my m8 has these and they look very nice indeed
apparently these offsets will allow the outer face of the wheels to sit flush with the arches rather than sit inside them slighlty?
do you have any pics of the wheels on your mates car?
only prob with bang on flush is that once you go over somethin if your lowered then you ARE gonna hit an damage the arches
Chris, those higher offsets are for the 16\'s and maybe some 17\'s. 18\'s require less of an offset.

i have pics of my m8\'s car but it\'s not a RX7 it\'s a supra turbo i can post a pic up if you want to see
a pic would be good cheers, i\'ve only found 2 cars with them on so far. both skylines.........
so would 18\'s with 32 offset fit a fid
Here you go http://www.keiracing.com/wheels_d1.html and BTW we are official KEI distributors.
Just sorted a quote for Chris for gun metal D2\'s
8.5 x 18 / 32 offset with Falken 255/35/18 rears and 235/40/18 fronts,
These ready to go on the car for £1156 + vat delivered to your door
This is my 7 with those exact wheels.
If you want some better pictures, just let me know
Wow the force 10s and D2s look stunning!
cheers for the pics pointman! definately going for them now!!!!!!!!!!!........
slightly off topic.... what bonnet have you got? looks like the one on the racing hart RX7?
Glad you like them :cheers
I don`t know what bonnet the Racing Hart 7 has, but mine is a Chargespeed Carbon Fibre one.
(A better picture of the bonnet, but not mine)
those offsets sound fine to me. next week im putting on some mad rims on mine with extreme offsets
19x8.5 front offset 21
19x9.5 rear offset 23
they will stick way past the arches.... but hey, it\'s a show car :D

?
Have you bought them yet ? I ask as mine might be up for sale. Not that I don`t like them, just that I think a different colour wheel will go better with my plans.
Let me know thanks. (The wheels & tyres have only done 3 or 400 miles maximum)
DOH!
went to modified nationals last sunday (because it was such a lovely day!) first car i saw was a black supra with them fitted. as soon as i got home i ordered a set.......
just gotta order some tyres to go on them now.
LOL, no problem. Just spoken to the bodyshop where my car is and they can paint them for me (Free of charge)
Modified Nationals is on this weekend in Carlisle too, I may get to it if I finish work tomorrow morning at a decent time. :Snoring

I will have a look for your friends Supra, the only vehicles there on friday when people were setting up were: 2x Focus Rally Cars, 1x Pink FTO ! and a rather nice classic mustang.
The D2`s are nice, which colour did you get ?

I like both cars, unfortunately I won`t get to see if your friend is at the car show as I have just woken up and my jeep has gone shopping :2Mad
Might catch the end !! Glad the ticket was free.
Nice choice of colour for the 7 :Thumbs-up
