I have debated for 6 months now on wheel color and style for my Tangelo Pearl turbo with black carbon fiber accents. I found a set up that I like. It is a little out there but so is my orange car but these wheels won't fit on my car. I've got a great paint shop that can apply the matching Tangelo Pearl paint but I'm trying to find a wheel similar that I can create this type of look. Anyone have any ideas?

Here is my car now.


Here are the Wheels that I like. They look great on this GT3RS but won't fit a wide body

 

Go to a manufacturer and have them make you a wheel. Some of them will take a picture of the wheel you like and duplicate it to fit your wide body. The wheel business is very competitive. If one company won't do it, another one will....Keep looking till you find one that will give you what you want, for the right price. Get your tech. specs. together and approch all of them. Also if you have a painter you trust get the wheels raw and take them you to your guy, I've had to do a couple of times, it's a buyers market!

 

How about the Modulare B18? We can have it painted to match perfectly.

Contact me for more information

 

Great advice Memnon, I didn't realize I could do that. I'm not sure what the tech. specs. on my car would be. Can anyone help with that information?

 

Tag Motorsports can you send me a price on the B18's?

 

Done deal amigo

 

The BCD on all Porsche's is 5x130mm, the bore is the same on all Porsche's 71.5mm. The front fitment will be 8.50" wide et43mm - the dia is up to you 18", 19", or 20"
The rear can vary, an 11.50" will have an et of 35mm
If you run an 11" the et will be lower to push the rim out closer to the fender. Also the et's can vary +/- a couple of mm with no adverse affects. Diameter is up to you. Hope this helps....

 

We can do you a setup like that with any of our wheels! Here is an example we've done recently.

 

Thanks for the info Memnon but help me out a little more if you can. What does BCD and et stand for so I can sound a little more like I actually know what I'm talking about.

 

BCD = bolt circle diameter. Your Porsche has 5 bolts on a 130mm diameter. BMW is 5x120mm BCD, Merecdes is 5x112mm BCD, etc. Some car companies have different BCD's within their vehicle offerings. Porsche, BMW, and Merecedes are pretty standard as previously stated. That's one reason why I love German cars!

The term ET originates from the German word 'Einpresstiefe' which translates as 'insertion depth'. ET also equals offset. Offset is the distance from the centerline of the wheel width to the mounting pad (the face of the wheel that meets up with face of the rotor). Its a little difficult to measure and will require some calculation. This is a distance in which all wheels are measured. The easiest way to think about is - the higher the offset number, the more the wheel will be tucked under the car. The lower the offset the more the wheels will stick out. Offset can be critical and allot of distributors are clueless when it comes to offset. I'm sure you've seen cars on the road where the wheels are tucked in too far under the car or visa-vera the wheels stick out way past the fender. The customer was sold the wrong offset.

Offset is measured in mm, 1mm = .039". A car that uses a 8.50" wide wheel with a 35mm offset can take a wheel that has a 36mm, 37mm or 38mm offset with the same width and not affect the appearance too much. Once you go past 5 or 6mm, the appearance can change, you may run into clearance issues with brakes, suspension components or the wheels will start to stick out past the fender when the offset goes too low. I know this is allot of info but hopefully you get the jist....

 

Perfect explanation. Thanks again. I will find something that works or have it made.

 

how about something like this....

 

Car looks super clean the way it is! Don't touch it for those wheels!
