New lightweight track wheels from tire rack
I found this info on bimmer forums.
These wheels sounds pretty interesting.
The 15x7 is suppose to be 11 lbs which isn't bad for 99.00
I wish the offset was around 35 on 15x7.
"Here’s the latest info I have on the new wheels….
1. Color of the first batch is carbon gray…other colors in subsequent shipments TBD.
2. In 5x120 the first shipment will ONLY be 8” wide, offset is 20, proper BMW center bore.
2. In 4x100 the first shipment will be 7, 7.5, and 8” widths. The 7” and 8” wheels will come in proper E30 non M3 center bore. Offsets will be 25 and 20 respectively. The 7.5” wheel will only come in the larger center bore, the offset will be 42. The 7” wheel will also be available in this sizing.
3. Pricing is $99/7”, $104/7.5”, and $109/8”, priced per wheel of course.
4. Current timing is mid July. The tools are in process now so this date should be more firm. The original date of late May/early June was based on what was known at the time which was not as firm since tooling had not been started.
That's the current info I have now, I will check on it periodically to see what progress is. "
