15" Compomotive ML's



I'm still not sure if I should have gone with gunmetal ... If my car were silver I think I would have gone for it.

you will be lucky to get anything with much more of a lip without having a widebody and wider wheels.

Deep dish wheels are usually associated with zero offset a positive offstet wheels. FB require about a -40 offset so in 7" wide the lip on the wheel is negligable

MikeLMR,

What size are yours?
I had a couple of mesh rims 1"-2" lip and thay still (barely) tucked in. The offset for GSL-SE suck you can run FWD rims.

15x7" with a -40 offset ( IIRC ) the non GSL-SE ( or non MK3 if you live outside the US) had a smaller offset and the wheels will have a larger lip on them (depending on the design.

you can probably go wider and screw with the offset in the rear, but space is really tight on the front and the 7's with a -40 offset only just clear the strut (could have done with a slightly lower offset really)

Wow, some beautiful cars in this thread.

One question though, RacerX7fb says he has "pro rally's" and MikeLMR says he has "compmotive ML's".

Whats the difference? I though Panasports were Panasports?

mine were 15x7 and the lip was about 2". I don't know the offset.

Panasport makes about 6 different models for street use and 6 different competition use wheels.. mine are the ProRallys in 15x6.. I couldnt pass them up at only $330 for the set of four
It wouldve been nice if they were at the ideal offset and at 7+ inches wide, but they did perform quite well over the weekend at Buttonwillow Raceway.
Compomotive is another wheel manufacturer, also very nice

yeh, compomotive are a UK manufacturer.

As I said earlier panasport is a knock off of a very old wheel design that has been copied by many companies over the years. So you will find many wheels that look the same with lots of different manufacturers and names.
