any chance you can scan in the picture of them? Their website as you said is not too easy to find stuff on... or a link to said wheels would be nice

nevermind... looking at it some more... are you just saying that they will make any of their rim styles with that special price?

Diamond racing wheels are a pretty good choice. They are by no means a "show" rim but more focused on racing (as the name suggests). I have been thinking about getting a couple 15x12's and some MT slicks for the rear of my car for some fun.

I believe you can get them to send you a free catalog with more pictures and information. I misplaced mine around here somewhere though...

Here's what they look like. A Datsun buddy of mine has them, they're not bad looking either.

just to let everyone know, i might have missed it in the forum, but i dont think i saw it,

these wheels are 100% custom, you tell them i want X size, with X width, in X offset. and they build it. (however everything is within reason.) all very well priced...

another site that does the same thing is.... http://www.bobhindsonracinginc.com/S...BHR%20Steelies

just to help you guys out

A lot of guys are using Diamond wheels. I even ordered a set myself last spring, but they lost my order and by then my wife had spent the money.

They make what you request. I had ordered 13x8 w/4" backspace, which is what most run in the 13" size.

yep 205/60/13. i like having that much meat on the ground.

only one guy at discount could find them everyone i talked to at all the places i called said that they dont make them. so Nanking might be your only bet.

I'm running Sumitomos on the stock rims. 215/50/13. They are quite a bit wider than the 205s they replaced...

Ken, any pictures of how the 50 series looks? I would like to see how the height of the sidewall changes from 60 to 50 series. I would love to go that wide but I'm putting these on my SA and then moving them to the FB once it's back on the road so I don't want to have any issues with either car

Here's a couple shots of the tires mounted on stock rims. These are Sumitomo 215/50/13s. I'll throw in a shot of the motor I just put in too.

Looks good! I love the width but I'm not huge on that small of a sidewall on a 13" wheel. If it were a 15" it would be great

Just as a side note, you can get 205/60x13 in a performance/summer tire from the following manufacturers: Sumitomo, Cooper, Vredestein, and looks like Nanking.

If you want a DOT approved racing tire in that the size, then you can add Hoosier, Toyo, Kumho, etc.

warwaickben.... the 15x7 pro series wheels from diamond are about 90 a wheel and the konig rewinds or similar are about 125 per wheel. Unless you've found a cheeper konig dealer than the ones i've come across. Care to share?
