Guys,

I am looking for dual bolt pattern wheels. 15X7 with a 4X100 and 4X114 bolt patterns. I want them dual so we can run them on the Spec V when hotlapping and the B14 when Racing.

So far the only ones I could find in LIGHTWEIGHT are the Enkei 15X6.5 @ 14.5 lbs and the Konig Greenlights 15X6.5 @ 11 lbs according to discount tire.

Are there any dual bolt patterns in 15X7? I cannot find any.

Also is it possible to drill a 4X114 bolt pattern on my existing Kosei K1s? I called tire rack and they could do it, but they want to charge me 300/rim. Yikes. Plus the K1s are on back order with no ETA.

I know of a palce in CA wheelspacers.com who can drill the K1s for me, but is there any downside? Has anyone tried this?

TIA

I have heard that Tirerack buys some of the K1's Blank and custom drills holes to fit the application. So I wouldn't think it be a problem if you could find a place local to do it.


Question: Will a 15" wheel fit over the Spec 5's brakes?

I don't know how you could do it, but my konig heliums (10.8 lbs on the ups scale, verified by me, real weight, no bs) look like they could, you might want to give them a look. especially on your black car

Yes it will. We tried a 15 rim from a Galant VR4 with the same bolt pattern as the Spec V and they fit. The barkes on the Spec V are the same as the the B15 SE. I have used Axxis Ultimate pads for the SE on the Spec V when we took it to the track. Personally, I think the Spec V is over-rimmed. Why in the hell does it need 17s???

If the Helium were 15X7s, I would buys them in a heartbeat. That 1/2 inch width that the K1s have is critical for traction on a road course. Also I mix and match my rims based on race tire consition. I would like them all to be 15X7. The offset is not a problem, I fix that with spacers.
