Fat Wheels


The first part of this post is a list of JDM one piece rims in the widest widths and offsets available @ 18".

THIS GOOGLE BLOGGER SUCKS; I SPENT A FEW HOURS FILLING THIS LIST WITH PRICES.
AND CHOICES; IT WAS AUTO SAVING along the way; THATS CRAP! Didn't Auto save shit!
CRASH! THEN I'm NOT TYPING AGAIN;


Basically all these prices are JDM discounts .
The Dream Setup is RAYS Volk Racing TE-37 SL 18"x10.5" +15
At 54684Yen x 4 = 218736Yen
Tyres would be
Bridgstone RE-555S SR2 265/35/18 47760yen x 4 = 191040Yen
Total would be 409776Yen


My Choice (at the moment)
RAYS Gram Lights 57G 18x10.5 +15 32680yen x 4 = 130720Yen
Advan A050 M 265/35/18 42340Yen x 4 = 169360Yen

The second part is a list of custom offset rims. The choice is soooooo large that I will just list a few killer rims.

Coming soon.

Tyre Choice

This image shows the Revolution time attack car tyres. Size is set. 265/35/18 is common and therefore supported. Rim Width is from 9~10.5 but a little stretch to 11 is OK. Maybe I should stick to 10.5" rims as there are more available there too.

They use Hankook Ventus TD 265/35R18 60,585YEN



Dunlop Direzza 03G 265/35/18 H1 (Longer Endurance Racing Compound)
These are a popular choice in Japan. Cost performance is good.
I could run Dunlop Slicks too. 260/655R 18 but tyre circumference is different.

Advan AO50 265/35/18 MH (Longer Endurance Racing Compound)
The pretty boy of tyres. Curved and refined A048 -> A050 time drop top runner. 

Bridgestone RE55S  265/35R18 93W. These are the pace setters.
These are a bit tricky because they are dedicated Left and right sided tyres
Basically too much trouble. Anyway they are SUPER EXPENSIVE!
  
The other options are difficult to find information because they are all sold only through the specialists and not mentioned on web sites. Strange that leading showcase tyres are forgotten. Then again the market is small.

Toyo Tyres R888 GG 265/35ZR18 97Y <--- wear rating is higher therefore should last longer (and be slower of course.)
