Please post pictures of your cars mounted with BRAID wheels here, preferably those purchased from our host Please, if you can, lust specs and model year etc.

I'll start with some 17" BZ on an 85 Carrera:






Front: 17x8, ET30 with 225/45 tires
Rear: 17x9, ET19 with 255/40 tires

17" BZ on an M491:





Front: 17x8, ET30 (needs a 20mm spacer) with 225/45 tires
Rear: 17x9, ET19 with OE 28mm spacer with 255/40 tires

Paul;

To make this thread more useful would it not be pertinent to list wheel size and offset as well as tire sizes?

Then if someone is looking for wheels and sees a car that looks like what they want they will have all the info required to make their decision. JMHO

Did you ever find out if they were forged or cast Paul?

[shaunmbenson]

Are these suitable as track wheels?

That's a good idea.

Out barrels are spun forged. Not sure about the centers.

For sure. The 15" and 16" that preceded these were primarily designed as track and tarmac rally wheels. These are the same construction but we know most of them will probably only see street use.

not enough a fan of the styler of the outlaw 52's but I like the color combo.

current'y running 7&9x16", want to run something that looks a little different in 9&11x17"

That looks more like gold to me. We can do gold too though I don't have a picture on a BZ. I do have this though:

Very cool. Did you have to do anything special to fit the 9" wide wheels with such a low offset?

Thanks Paul!! -- it's 16s I'd be going for - do you or will you have a Canadian distributor? Exchange and border fees can get prohibitive

They usually get drop shipped from Europe so you will have to deal with duties regardless so I'd just order from Pelican.

Well, after almost 12 months of waiting, the UPS man just brought me these!

Beautiful. Certainly the first to make it on a car.
