Diamond race wheels for the street?
What size diamond wheels do you guys run on the street? I was thinking of getting a set of 15x7's so I can wrap them with Azenis. What backspacing should I run? I'm torn between these and the 13x8's with a 4in backspace. This will see occasional drag and autoX use.
Thanks, Ed

How low is your car? I've got ST springs in the back and GC coilovers in the front. You think I'll rub? What size tires are you running? PM me on how much youre asking for the wheels.
Thanks, Ed
How about a sideview pic of the car?

WHEELS
Better choice would be Circle Racing Wheels as all the rest of the circle track wheel mfg's make their wheels with 5/8" dia bolt holes for circle track. Circle makes wheels for SCCA with 1/2" dia holes and can use stock lug nuts. Wheels with 5/8 holes use 1" dia lug nuts and are at a different angle for wheels with 5/8 holes. Read the small print in their catalogs before you buy. See pictures of them in GRM on their Spitfire. Nothing wrong with the other co's products except this. By the way, Circles SCCA wheels weigh 12lbs in a 13x7 size.

You better go read their catalog. Diamond says right in their catalog to never use stock lug nuts with a wheel with 5/8" dia holes and to never use a 60deg stock lug nut on a wheel made for a 45 deg (1 inch) lug nut. You haven't lived till one of your wheels cross's the finish line before you.

Circle Wheel makes them both ways. The SCCA wheels are in a different section of their catalog. Keep looking, you'll find it. There as lite as most over the counter mags too.

Thanks for the info Dick. Kurt, get the correct nuts man, its important. The holes on your rims will wallow out and eventually the rim will fail.
Oh and side note hijack. I got those nuts for your suspension. Havent had the chance to mail them. I took em with me to GIR. Thought you might show up there. Ill get em to you.
