I'm after as close to OEM look as is available so either OE 3R/M400 or Speedline seem to be the options. Are there any other alternative wheels to consider? Would like to order next week if pos...

I'm running Forgeline model ZX3R, which are similar to the M400 wheels I pulled off.

Jeff, nice wheels. Is the car sitting high?

Thanks! When we corner weighted the car, the ride height was set per the US build manual, which is 5 inch chassis to ground in the front, 5 1/2 inch rear. The tire to wheel arch gap makes it look high to me.

Jeff,

How much do a set of those cost?

[Blu3R]

£3,600 a set

I bought mine used from a US nobber who told me they were in good shape. He was wrong. They looked like they had been shotgun targets. I spent many tens of hours wet sanding before getting them powder coated satin black.

Just seen a thread suggesting these are being made again but will be in the region of £6k...

Id like to make a quick decision on wheels in time for Rockingham. My understanding is the contenders are:

OEM - 12.7kg front and 13.6kg rear - £? - availability?
Compotive - 11.4kg front and 11.4kg rear - £1k approx? Not mad keen on the design of these
Speedline - 10.6kg front and 11.9kg rear - £1k approx - did the group buy already happen?
Dymag - 7.0kg front and 7.8kg - £6k approx - too dear

I think most the wheels are made to order, think its about a 6 week wait normally, for the speedlines anyway

I used Trafficstar RTS wheels, they are three piece split rims so expensive, at the time they were the only option, people have asked OZ several times to supply the Ultralaggera in Noble size, unfortunately they refuse to make a wheel that big in four stud fixing.

Search Noble wheels .

Those look uncannily like Braid wheels to me

Yeah they clearly are. Weird that he's not acknowledged that anywhere though, he's even gone as far as blanking out the BRAID logo in the gold wheel CAD pic in the ad.
