Title: Looking for someone to id these wheels?
Post by: Jimi_Hendrix on December 02, 2008, 02:39:40 PM
They look like they must be 18 inch and prob weigh the same as an entire American but f me in the ring! They look so good! This whole car just looks sooooo feckin\' awesome it could make a grown man cry!
 
They aren\'t BBS LM\'s as i thought but very very similar. Anyone know more?
 
Also who makes that rear diffuser poking out from under the car
 
Cheers

i think its as there are different models and styles depending on size width and offset, a bit like the rotas with the drift series

They\'re nothing like LM\'s, and I\'m pretty sure they\'re not Sienna\'s.
They look like a variation of the Racing Hart C4 but the lips are wrong.

I was going to go with the C4 but after closer look they are not quite the same.

Yeah, a bit odd - the way the spokes end before the lip reminds me of Sparco NS2 Python\'s, but the rest of the wheel is totally different :D

I\'m a wheel geek, it\'s an illness ;) :D

Racing Hart make some fine, fine hoops, but sadly, some of the best have been discontinued :( (The C4\'s for one IIRC)
Don\'t look too much and fall in love though, they\'re not exactly light on the wallet :D

I think they are Image Billet 26 split rims by the looks of it ;) NOT CHEAP!!! £450 + VAT for a single 18 x 9, so if you are looking for a staggerd set of 9\'s + 10\'s, the total price comes to: £1844.00 + VAT = £2120.60 Inc VAT @15% + shipping!!!

T11MNM - the wing is either an R magic wangan (sp?) one or a copy of it by either Shine or JRX rotary. The diffuser on the bottom i found out is a Shine item the mirrors are RE-AM, its got ever so slightley wider arches then stock on the rear and i cant tell about the fronts.
 
not sure about front bumper or side skirts and obviously the wheels still elude me! Lol! (Thanks for your continuing help though guys! :thumbs-up)
 
Fecking stunning car isn\'t it! I\'m almost tempted to make a carbon copy clone! Right down to the colour! Ha ha!
