Need Panasport Opinion


Marty Rogan

Recommended Posts

I was just looking at the Motorsport website at the Panasport wheel prices.

They list the 15"x6" size at $189.95 and the 15"x7" size at $219.95.

I intend to put 225x15x50 tires on them.

Is it worth spending $30 per wheel more for the 7" wide size, or would it make much of a difference?

This is going on my high speed autocross car.

TIA,

Marty

The Volks are my favorite modern wheel. I have seen them in 14 by 7j 4X 114.3 with a very low offset on an ae86. They looked great on that car. I will have to scrounge through my pictures. I am sure those wheels would fit and look great on a zed. It would make a zed D1 cool.

Victor,

It seems like 17 offset would be a lot. An offset of 0 is recommended. Interesting wheels though.

Where can you get the K-1's or Volks?

One other issue that I am having is that I put on the Toyota 4-piston calipers (very wide), with vented rotors. I actually picked up a nice set of Enkei mesh style wheels and they would not clear the calipers. (Might be for sale, PM me if you are interested) I put the Panasports on that were on my show car and they fit fine. So I am going to need a wheel that provides extra clearance beyond where the hub ends. Panasports bow outward in the spoke area to provide extra clearance. I would hate to order new wheels and still have a clearance problem.

Anyone use the K-1 or Volks with the Toyota brakes?

Personally, I'll be ordering a set of 16" Volk Gramlight 57c's in gunmetal finish. 0 offset, 4x114.3 bolt pattern, and wrapping them with 205/50/16 Potenza SO-3's. I'll see how fitment is =D
