I really like my Velox Flight wheels, 16x7 - 40mm offset.

Me too :) I'm looking for a set of 16s myself, 15s make the gearing too short. What size tires do you have on there?

So, with a spacer/adapter with a big brake kit and the added thickness of the hub part of the GVR4 rotor pushing the rims further out, the only correct is a massive positive offset.

Not sure how thick the spacer and rotor combined will be, but this is something people will have to consider if they use a rotor setup that pushes the rims out further.

If your tires are just off the fender now, and you convert to GVR4 style brakes, this isn't as bad.

I'm getting loopy just thinking about all these dimensions without having the kit nor many wheel choices right here now.

I have a single 17" OZ Racing rim and tire combo sitting here, dual bolt pattern, so I can use it front and rear to see what clearances are needed. Maybe time for coil overs soon ... Regardless, this I know has to happen. Guh, why do I have to do both now? Haha. Anyways, back to the rim show!

Some new love from the US!

Braid race wheels!

http://www.braidusa.com/wheels.htm

Pricing will set you back what you paid for the whole running car however.

http://www.braidusa.com/comp_3pc.htm

I would seriously consider specially designed alloys if the big brake kit was to move the front track out too wide for optimal suspension geometry.

They can make wheels up to +100 offset. I can see needing a +57 if the 15mm wider result (rotor and spacer thickness combined) are to push a rim out from where the +42 offset was optimal.

I guess I have to do some measuring with the brakes installed either way.

I picked up a set of Accord steelies for winter wheels on my GVR4 once and had to bore out the center a bit.

F{{K those are just right.

My friend is cajoling me into taking a trip with her and a bunch of younger friends from high school.

Which to pick? Haha .....
