man your stocking me i just posted this lol.

swbtm 04-21-08 08:10 PM

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?

Dan_s_young 04-21-08 08:34 PM

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...

j_tso 04-21-08 09:41 PM

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

I had the Pro Series wheels in 15x7 on my old SA. They looked great.

ive got the 13x7 on my car... i would like to get something nicer after i repaint some day but i like that they are fat.

FirebirdSlayer666 04-24-08 10:41 PM

Hey Rotospeed, what size and brand tires are you running?

driftking777 04-24-08 10:45 PM

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 ;)

Kentetsu 04-24-08 11:11 PM

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.

2__/60 r13 i forget ill check tomorrow when i get the car back.

the brand is nanking its the only brand we could find that seams to make them. discount found them for me. :)


its the same size that people are running for scca's spec7 only in a street tire

FirebirdSlayer666 04-25-08 03:00 PM

205/60/13? I was interested in that getting that size and now I know it will lookd damn nice! LOL

Rotospeed 04-25-08 11:46 PM

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. :)

Kentetsu 04-26-08 01:03 AM

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

FirebirdSlayer666 04-26-08 07:28 PM

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

swbtm 04-27-08 12:27 PM

I have 205 60 13's on my car... the tires were made by cooper.

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. :)

IanS 04-27-08 03:03 PM

Nice lookin' engine. Hey, if you ever get tired of that 3 piece wing I would be happy to take it off your hands....

FirebirdSlayer666 04-27-08 06:32 PM

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

warwickben 04-27-08 06:58 PM

I'm trying to deiced between the koings and these. there only a little less then the koings.

t_g_farrell 04-28-08 08:57 AM

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.

swbtm 04-28-08 05:54 PM

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?

warwickben 04-28-08 06:12 PM

rewinds 450$ shipped. http://www.jlbmotorsports.com/rims/konig-list.html

the way i was looking at it shipped these steel wheels are a little less the the rewinds.

i like the steel wheels so iam kinda torn between those the rewinds and the non us-spec stock rotor shape wheel's.

swbtm 05-07-08 10:39 AM

did anyone have trouble/ slow response from diamond? I sent them an email about 2-3 weeks ago and nothing yet.

Do you have any pics of those rotor shaped wheels?

They lost my order last spring... I filled out their order form as instructed, and emailed it to them. They never charged my card, and they never shipped the wheels. Called them after six weeks and they had no record of the order. :(

swbtm 05-07-08 11:58 AM

hmm sad to hear... Good thing I have two sets of stock wheels anyways.. :)

warwickben 05-07-08 05:38 PM

swbtm what is you avatar ?

someone asked!!!! yay, just made my day

it's a shot standing directly above the engine compartment of a ferrari 360 spider with a nice cloudy blue sky in the reflection.

I can email you the original if you would like... I have a couple different ones :)

I took it at the rolex vintage fest at limerock last year... but that has nothing to do with it... it's just a cool shot :icon_tup:

warwickben 05-08-08 05:07 AM

i new it was a motor.


i know there stock rims but god i love those rotor wheels.

petrolhead 09-28-08 07:02 PM

thanks for sharing warwickben...i also considered konigs but now i think ill go with diamonds wheels...theyre sold at a good price + the mini series look like little steelies with a fat lip :-(|)

warwickben 09-30-08 05:17 AM

they look like way to low pro for me. you see so much wheel well. i le them to be plush fat looking tires on the stocker rims. but its a nice engine you got there.

placd1 07-09-13 03:36 PM

What's the widest size tire that can be fitted on the stock rim without touching the fender or shock strut? I'm running 185/60/13 right now and they're pretty skinny. I want as much road contact surface as possible and since I'm struggling to find an aftermarket rim upgrade ,it'll have to be on the stock 13's
