What wheels to go with Tuckin99 N2 Flares??
Well, I’ve decided that this might be a useful thread since I am picking up a set of these flares from spoolin2bars…. Also this info might benefit many of you since it seems that rharris may be making replicas. Obviously the Kosei k1’s that I have on my car (15x7 +38et) just aren’t going to cut the mustard once these things are installed and many of you would be in the same boat. Now before we go any further, lets clear the air here: yes we know 6ul’s are a great wheel for those who often track their car, yes we know the wheels that you need to fill these flares will be heavier than other options out there, yes we know not everyone cares for negative offset and the deep dish look, yes we know the scrub radius and all that jazz won’t be ideal…. However, if you are even remotely interested in these flares, its clear that your primarily into the look more than the function of them, since its been proven time and time again that you can stuff more than enough rubber under stock body work or moderate flares.
Now lets get to the nitty gritty….lets try to make this as informative as possible. Lets try to include:
1) Wheel Manufacturer / Model
2) Wheel size and offset – Front and rear in some cases
3) Average cost (Huge factor for many of us, myself included)
4) Where to buy (Cheapest place at the moment)
So, let me get this party started, lol:
The quintessential Tuckin99 N2/ Wheel combination
1) Panasport C8-16
2) 16x9 0et Front – 16x10 -2et Rear
3) $$

Deep dish wheel thread at CR.net. 14 pages of high offset goodness / evil / deadweight depending on your outlook.
deep dish wheel thread. - ClubRoadster.net
Of course there's always the dirt cheap steel racing wheel option. Keizer or Kodiak for alloys.

I think thats hot.
Just make sure you're using a nice wide wheel and the proper fitting tires.

**Edit**
Just rechecked their website and found some 15x10's that they say are 18 lbs...and you can get them with pretty much any backspacing (1"-7") so thats about (-101et to +51et)
For the fronts if you play'd the offset right you could probably get away with the 15x8's which weigh 16lbs (-76et to +38et)....now I'm gonna break my own rule, the 6ul 15x9 only weighs like 13lbs wtf!
If I went this route, I'm thinking I could run the 15x10 0et in the rear and like a 15x8 -15et front....but then that might have some negative characteristics on handling with the staggered setup..not sure

No miata, but the wheels don't look half bad (I don't think these are the "wide 5" version which are lighter)

Please don't stagger, thats dumb.
Also, the 13" with flares are light enough and look way better. This is more of a CR thread than anything. There is a guy on there with 13x10 daimond racing wheels that look just money. Search for pics, 13's rock...go gangster.
