What happens when your wheel leaks.
look on the bright side. now you have an excuse to go even crazier with your rear quarters. so you will be able to fit any wheel ever made


oh and it sucks to see such beautiful paint destroyed.

P.S. your tires are too stretched when they can't hold air...

it was the shitty silicone used to seal the wheel... had nothing to do with the stretch. Pressure forced all the bolts out causing the tire to come unbeaded. Would've happened even if I had a 305 on there.

^That thing looks killer. I love it. The re030 is one of those wheels that has different faces depending on size/offset so once you get to a certain point you aren't getting any more lip on them.

It seems to be the going trend for s2k racecars to move up to 18" wheels.

They didn't mention that they had spacers but I doubt it.

sjs0433: I have seen different RE30s with different size lips.

18x9.5 +42 all around



18x9.5 +28



The wheels on the J's Racing/N1 Concepts S2000 look bigger.

^I know what you're saying. They do have a different lip depending on size but it isn't a wheel where lets say the +12 has more lip than +22.

I had a RAYS catalog at home and the re030 wheels either have the s1, s2, s3 lip (smaller lip) or the L1 or L2 (larger lip) There are multiple sizes under each of those. I believe the Arvou car has the L1 lip and the N1 concepts car has the L2 lip.
