I understand what you are saying when it comes to custom 3pc wheels but that does not apply here. Plus I wouldn't just order some random offsets. I would measure and setup for what I need and want. The look and setup I want may be different and we all have different setups as far as brakes, suspension, rearend widths and front subframe and spindle setups. I really don't know why you felt the need to speak for Mark. I'm sure he can speak for himself and if that is truly the way he feels in this particular case then I respect him for that.

I do agree with you on the part that everyone should measure for their wheel setup and not just go by something they read on a forum.

Not trying to start a fight but come on.

My wheels are 18 X 10 with 20 mm offset front and 18 X12 with 36 mm offset rear. Forgestar will build custom offsets if they fit within their blanks. I have NO idea if they will fit your car......

Mine were custom made and the lead time was 8 weeks. FYI

36mm = 7.9173 in

36 millimeters is a little under an inch and a half. are you adding that to the 0 offset back
space to come up with 7.9173"?

from here http://www.mrw-wheels.com/wheel%20te...t%20chart.html
Im a United States public school grad too so I need all the help I can get.



Actually 36 Millimeters = 1.41732283 Inches, the 0 offset on a 12" wide wheel is 6.50in and 1.41732283 is 7.91732283

You scared me a bit cause I don't usually spread FUD unless its well deserved.

36 millimeters is a little under an inch and a half. Are you adding that to the 0 offset back
space to come up with 7.9173" ? Just for clarity.

0 offset is zero offset from center so that would be what ever measurement half the width of the wheel. The offset was 36mm (positive) so you add that to the center measurement of the wheel.

How did I come up with it? I just punched the numbers in the little boxes and it spits out the backspace inch equivalency. Its aliens.

Mark,

Where did you get such a screaming deal on those wheels? I need to know so I can keep my eyes peeled this Black Friday.

Thanks

Holy cow guys cmon....25.4 mm to the inch....so 36 divided by 25.4 = 1.4173"....aka 1 27/64"
The whole world is on the metric system the proper conversions are very easy to find

There's an App for that.

I was poking around last December looking of an "Economical" one piece wheel that would fit over a 394 mm ZR-1.

I saw Forgestars on a few cars and was checking them out. I called for info and I happen to call on the Black Friday sale. The normal price is still not bad but you get what you pay for. Finspeeds and Forgelines are works of art and these are OK for track wheels.

If I sell off enough used parts I will get a set of USA made mono blocks.
