Thats also what i was thinking. I am going to keep looking into it. I think that would definately give me a massive edge on this car. I will keep everyone updated. Thankyou for all the complements also.

I am hoping to use this car as a daily driver so i would like a rim that is stable . I like the c series HREs though. Very nice. I will still be looking. The centerlock idea was great. Only problem is i would be looking at over 10000 for the conversion and rims. If anyone knows somewhere cheaper i would like to look further into it.

Nick

you must be kidding nick!!!
Your setup will be very hard to drive on the street.

I am struggling to get traction after 6krpm in 1st and 7krpm in 2nd. The car is just too wild with only 2.5-2.8 times the stock power. I only rarely use full throttle on the street. You will need some fat 15" slick rather than these fancy 18" rims.

What are you going to do regarding the gearbox?
Is it going to hold 700hp?

Funny I have a chance to get these in 17 inch but they just wont clear a bbk even with a 17x7 +40 front. Spokes prevent running a bbk or I would be all over them.

the real magnesium wheels don't come in 17. at least not on rays website.

it is most likely regular te37 with custom color in mag blue...

that's one way of obtaining these through the race teams...

i tried asking for the magnesium wheels for 17's before, no luck. ended up getting regular te37 in mag blue color.

Well I'll assume you'll get some massive traction when you can go mega-huge on your rims due to the widebody...(whats biggest would fit in stock wheel wells vs amuse wheel wells???)
Just get the kit on and finish the turbo, go to a couple big shows and you shouldnt have any trouble getting attention and thus sponsors....
Also whos installing this widebody for you?

Nick...I might be able to get you a wheel sponsorship or at least get you in contact with a few people who might be willing to sponsor you. PM me your e-mail address.
