    15x8 wheels...recommendations?

    Anyone have any recommendations for 15x8 wheels? Its a tough size to find, but I'd like to pick up a set for autocross use. Can go with something like Diamonds, but would prefer something lighter.

    These will ultimately be for the Rampage, but not necessarily for the GRM Challenge.

    Thanks!

    Pat

    5x100?

    ESM makes several 15x8 wheels but they aren't light. And the mesh offsets are for stance. Prices aren't bad though.

    This one is available in 20 and 35mm offset but its even heavier:

    Aaahh!! I owe you a PM! Sorry about that.

    Might go with 225 Hoosiers or Kuhmo's instead. Would like the 245's, but I'm still doing some measuring. If I went 245, I'd likely want to go 9" wheel, which really limits me to Diamonds unless I wanted to spend big bucks.

    You can get cheap 15x9" alloys now thanks to mass production of stance wheels. Offset and wieght might not be what you want tho:

    15x9 5x100, 17lbs, 10mm offset, $155 each

    And I'd want a real weigh in before I would believe that 17lbs claim.

    I watched some girl driving an audi yesterday that had 4 VIP style wheels that were ALL wobbling as they turned. Guessing she got a discount. Discomforting.
