Enkei PF01 15x8
Probably my next set of wheels:
Enkei Wheels 2009 | PF01 http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/a...pf01_large.jpg 15x8, +35 et. Hoping there's more caliper clearance than with 6UL, because Emilio's stuff doesn't fit what I want to do. Looks like there should be. |
Good luck fitting them on a miata... unless they are going on a different car.
|
Not feeling the center cap, but I like it.
I want to upgrade to a 15x8. |

If a 15x7 weighs 12lbs than what will the 15x8 weigh? Less than 12.4? Not different/light/cheap enough to knock out the 6UL IMO

Nice looking wheels;)

I wonder if they will fit over my Brembozzzz :giggle:

I have 6-pot Wilwood Dynapros on my car right now and they fit just fine. What in god's name are you trying to stuff under your car?
Dig the hardtop, BTW. |

Number of pistons doesn't really affect wheel fit. Wilwood calipers tend to be pretty thin in section, with short pistons, thin pads and no dust boots. I'm planning an OE caliper with thicker pads, dust boots, and a thicker cross section for greater stiffness. Probably a 282mm rotor, a little smaller than 11.75 in., but thicker and lower-cost. It'll be cool.

There is a thread on miata.net where Emillio goes over how they make all their light weight wheels out of a 13" blank and add to the actual rim to get a bigger size. I doubt that what you have planned will work with this wheel.

Dig the hardtop, BTW. That new wheel does look like it has really good brake clearance probably on par with Team Dynamics Pro Race 1's but If you really need it for that much brake you need a 9" wheel not an 8" Bob |

They show the 15x8 in 4x100...you smoke to much crack today or something?

I agree they're really sexy. They better be cheaper than 6ULs though.

Bob My idea of the ultimate Miata brake setup would cost more than $2000, using parts from Wilwood, Hawk, PFC, Earl's, plus some custom bits I'd have to get made, and would be challenging for wheel fit. Everything less than that is a compromise for lower cost. But I believe that what I'm doing will have lower initial cost than a Wilwood kit, as well as lower replacement parts cost, and deliver better performance. |
