    They are being made as we speak! taking longer than quoted but we should have notice that they are complete soon. ~ a month after they shouldbe ready to ship.




    I present to you, the TrackSpeed Motorsports / Phil's Tire Service exclusive D-Force CR6, also avaialble in flat black. Contact phil or myself and we can hook you up!

    specs:
    15x6"
    4x100mm (14mm bore with 60° conical seat)*
    35mm offset**
    12 lbs (±??)
    67mm center bore
    single valve stem hole
    $115 each

    * the wheel has a pocketed hub face to reduce weight so it is only cost effective to retool for 4onXXX bolt patterns. those of you who have 4x108mm hubs (ford, old audi, 928s, etc) speak up! if there's enough interest I'm sure we can make it happen.

    **some fitments will require a spacer for caliper clearance, typically 5mm. I have verified A2 and A3 VWs, AW11 MR2 need it, EF/EG hondas and 99-03 (BJ chassis with 4 bolt hubs) protégé do not. I will know about Accord LXi, and older hondas soon. hubcentric rings and spacers available through TrackSpeed, and I believe Phil has them as well. The CR6 wheel is based opn the 15x7 SE30/SM wheel from D-Force and getting the inch out of the width and a FWD offset meant loosing a lot of the available caliper clearance. The upside is that the wheels are much lighter than their 15x7 cousins but still strong, passing the 500kg load test.

    Awesomeness! Are there pockets on the back of the mounting face for bolt on spacers? ideally I'd like to run a 15-20mm bolt-on spacer on my AW11, and that would leave some stud sticking out.

    not necessarily for spacers but they would be in the best location to allow room fot bolt on spacers. I do not believe there would be enough room to clear a normal sized nut. I could be wrong.

    If you are running that large of spacer, you can get spacers that have pockets for the nuts to fit below the spacer surface. I believe Chip has them on his MR2.

    Yah - that's the kind I'm talking about. The stud may still protrude 10mm or so.

    Sounds like me and Chip need to talk. I'm looking at pulling my old IT MR2 out of storage...

    Jake, My ITB MR2 is #22 so we definitely need to talk!

    I have 15mm spacers on the car now with miata wheels (45mm offset, so 30 combined). I think 15 and the CR6 (20mm offset combined) will be too little offset for the fenders, but that might depend on your ride height.

    the ones I use are made to bolt to the hub and have additional stud, but I knocked out the second set of studs and just use longer studs in the hubs and bolt it all together with the lugs (I do use the thin lugnuts to hold the spacer to the hub behind the wheel for ease of use). plenty of thread engagement with this setup. ARP studs for Lexus IS300 (PN 100-7715) fit the AW11 and are ~2" long when installed with rotors. twosRus.com usually has them in stock. not sure if the bolt-on spacer/bolt wheel to spacer setup will fit, I don't have a set of stock lug hubs with rotors handy, but it looks close. worst case you try it and convert to ARPs if it doesn't work.
