hey ephatch. i need help finding wheels for my slicks. I am looking for a set of 15x8 wheels with a 5x114.3 bolt pattern. they are going on my 04 ep. any help with this would be great. i have searched google like crazy and cant find anything worth while. thanks,

15s? Are you sure?

Anyways, let us know what kind of wheels are you kind of looking for. Specs like offsets, spokes, color, etc would help narrow it down.

http://www.diamondracingwheels.com/superspun.html would these be worth while. im not trying to spend a huge amount of money. ive seen people running these before so i thought i would ask. is weight and such decent?

steel wheels are HEAVY.. i've felt a set of 15x8's and they are in no way light. you could use them for the slicks but that's a lot of unsprung weight. as for 15x8's not custom made in our bolt pattern, i dunno if they even make them.. 16 inch plus are made.. but ive never seen a 15x8 5x114.3 production wheel. i could be wrong though!!

Mine are 4x100 15x8 Rota, but they make 5x114.3 too. I want to say it's +40mm offset. I got a pair for $255 shipped.
