Motorsports-suitable wheel from Mach V

Mach V Dan · 12-05-2011, 11:34 AM

Hi all,

I thought I'd post over here about this because our new wheel has some of the properties track guys like, including:

- 17x9" size (+42 offset) -- nice and wide for stuffing some big rubber on
- Light weight at 17.8 pounds
- Flow-formed construction for high strength
- Dual-drilled so they'll fit that crazy hybrid car you built with 5x114 hubs on the front and 5x100 on the back.

- Subaru centerbore size, so no annoying hub rings needed

The wheel is called the Awesome. Okay, sales pitch over.

P.S. Hi, Paisan! Delete this post if you consider this too much advertising and not enough news-worthy...

Mr. Me · 12-05-2011, 03:50 PM

Looks kinda like a fno1rc. Wish they came in 17x8 for is stx autox guys...

Mach V Dan · 12-05-2011, 03:54 PM

If wishes were horses...

Patrick L · 12-05-2011, 07:42 PM

These wheels are big with the BMW club race guys.

speedyHAM · 12-05-2011, 08:07 PM

These are not nearly wide enough.

Good looking wheels though.

Hold_Fast · 12-06-2011, 07:28 AM

Any plans on additional sizes?

sjs0433 · 12-06-2011, 08:48 AM

Great wheels if they had a larger center bore. I want some on the s2000

I know this thread is just over a year old, but I wanted to follow up. We did indeed a make 18x9.5" of this wheel, and it's just 19.0 pounds. Single-drilled, to reduce weight at the hub, but available in either bolt pattern.

Find 'em HERE.

Have you tried this fitment on GD body styles (03 WRX)? I would imagine that fender rolling is required. I'm curious to if there's rubbing on the shock tower / coilover, etc., with this width.

It would be if you were going to run any kind of wide tire.

We put a similar wheel (18x9.5 +40) on this car with 255/35R18.

We had to roll and shave the rear fenders a lot, roll the fronts, and then run some extra ride height in back to keep it from rubbing. Inner clearance is okay, though.

We only have them in 17x9 at this time. We're considering a 17x7.5" fitment for the BRZ/FR-S people. It'd be very light. Not sure if it could fit over Brembos. Working on it.

It's hard to shoehorn 315s on a 9" wheel.

Dan:

Could you print out the templates for Stoptech, and maybe Brembo for their 6-pot brake caliper and see if these will fit under the 18x9.5 and then report back to us? This is the motor sports thread afterall

I am running 17x10, 114.3, RPF1 and they fit without a spacer, but a 6-pot won't fit under there.

18x11 +22 5x100 perfect for 315's???????

I know, I know. I'm the only one who wants a set. Calling CCW

subydude · 01-21-2013, 09:48 PM

Actually Greg, I'd love a set of 18x11 +22 in 5x114.3. The only ones I've found that are reasonable and light are the Forgestar F14's. If someone wanted to make one that was around 20 lbs though, I'd be down (assuming less than Volk prices).
