Hubcentric Spacers
 
I've been researching wheel spacers due to coming across some really light and inexpensive race wheels made by Enkei. The offsets would require hubcentric spacers and the bores for the wheels are 72.6 mm.

In my search I found a company by the name of Motorsport Tech here in the USA that can custom make them and he uses Alcoa 6061t6 billet aluminum. Just thought I'd pass along the info.

In the mean time I came across some 2001 Corvette Z06 forged Speedline wheels for my car. They are only 1/2 lb heavier than the Enkei's and for $600 I couldn't pass.

I'm finally going to get 315's in the rear of my car :D

Thanks Ron, I'm pretty stoked. Picking up the wheels tonight and then they will get sent out for powder coating. Going with gloss black with a clear over the top.

Car gets dropped off Monday to begin mini tub work. I'll post pic's probably some time next week

All right, so I couldn't wait to post the wheels. $600 with tires and they are in great shape. Rears are 325 Michelon Pilots 140 tread wear and front are Good year F1's with 120 tread wear. I wont need the tires but the rears will work well for mock up on the tubs.

The fronts weight 19.6 lbs each and the rears are 21.6. Not bad for an OEM wheel!

Looks like I'm going to need 1 1/2" spacers for the rear and 2" for the front.

What is the price for their spacers?

What a great deal on the wheels/tires. Is there a place that I can find a deal like that? Or is this one of those lucky breaks?

I think the deal on the wheels was a lucky break because I see them on ebay at an average of $200 a pop.

I'm in the middle of ordering the spacers right now and it looks like it will be $200 plus tax and shipping through his online order form but I want to talk to him on the phone before I sign the dotted line.

^ you can also find deals on LS1tech and corvette forums...
