New Wheels Tasac SA-7 18X8 & 18X9

[2FAST4LA]

Going to the track soon and needed a back-up set. Originally built for BMW's, but I though I'd give them a try. I ordered Arrowhead logos for the center caps. Made in Japan.

Um, I think your gonna want some tires before you go to the track. :D They look nice. Post of pics when tires are mounted also.

[mamemimo]

I can get behind those. Nice.

[Midnight]

Nice. Simple, but nice.

[Summerwolf]

i dig them

[TommyGoat]

Done a few burnouts with those? I can't even see how much tire you have left. LOL

Check Falken 452 tires, They are like toyo proxes Tr-1s but a little less $$
Great traction wet or dry so far.

nice wheels

Look good. A refreshingly simple approach. I've always been a fan of 7 spoke wheels. Get some pics with the tires mounted!!!

2Fast- How low are you and can't wait to see those on with rubber. Do they come in a dark gray?

[2FAST4LA]

The shop got busy, so my car got kicked off the rack, so I will have to put them on the car later.

I can't seem to find any info on this wheel company. Is there a website? What other styles do they make that will work on our cars?

[GOATCRUISER]

Those look sick on CGM. Drop that car and delete that spoiler man!!! Need more pix once they are on the car.

Pedders 3/8" Front & 1/2" Rear w/ 6mm spacer.

They don't have a website. They're known for their 3-pc 5-spoke Porsche wheels and their 1-pc 5-spoke wheels in the 90's. This is the only design I know of in a 5X120.

OK, finally got them on. Now I just have to find time to heat cycle them before next Wednesday. The original center emblems were the BMW logo, so I got a set of Arrowheads from Ryan at GrafxWerks. The only regret is that I should have ordered the liquid dome option. Hub rings were made by a friend of mine (72.5mm-69.55mm).

Here's some close-ups.

[TCNJEngineer]

I like it, I had seven spokes on my first car.

[GoatLovin]

Whoa, I thought they looked terrible in the first post. Now that I've seen them completed mounted with the tires and on the ground, I think they look awesome.

[Orkboyz]

Wow, they do look good. And with those AO48 tires I'm sure you'll get awesome traction. Out of curiosity, how much clearance from the sidewalls do you have on those 265 tires. Saw you had the 1/2" rear drop with a 6mm spacer. So that's about a 1/4" drop.

With 1.25 drop in the back, a 255 is a close fit for me even with rolled fenders. Unfortunately the 18" AO48 is only made in 235 and 265 so i had to go with the narrower tire.

[2FAST4LA]

I had to roll my fenders quite a bit for my street set-up (285/30R19 w/ 19X10) so I can't give a honest assesment of how close it would be.

[Dontsleeponit]

very clean setup, nice and simple and sharp looking, and the centercaps finish it off nice

[NastyGoat]

Hmm I wonder if that silver is a close match to the QSM... Nice looking rims though, I definitely dig the clean look. Do you happen to know if they make them in 19"?

[2FAST4LA]

Thanks for the compliments. They only made these in the 18" size. The TASAC importer had them made exclusively for him, I just happened to remember he had them and the sizes and offsets were close enough.
