KiwiBirkin Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Hi does anyone know what the offset is for the standard Birkin mags that are supplied with the car around the 1996/97 year of manufacture. These mags are still on my car and can be seen under the members rides section, I cant find the offset on the mags anywhere and would like to know as I want to replace them. In mm if you can please Cheers KiwiBirkin
KiwiBirkin Posted April 28, 2009 Author Posted April 28, 2009 I found it its 30mm offset Cheers KiwiBirkin
oilteq Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 If you are going to have 2 sets of wheels and tires, you may consider 13-inch wheels for your more aggressive set, and the 15-inch for touring.
11Budlite Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 I know there was a group buy on Kodiak 3-pc wheels a while back, but those wheels are pretty expensive these days. Same with the Panasport 3-pc. I have 15" Enkei RPF1's for my regular wheels and those are less than 10 lbs each. Any other wheels out there that are pretty light and not too expensive in a 13" size, 4 x 100, 30mm offset?
TheDingo8MyBaby Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Any other wheels out there that are pretty light and not too expensive in a 13" size, 4 x 100, 30mm offset? V2 Competetion Drag wheels -13x8 +20 - 11 lbs. Lenso VPD - 13x7.5 +25 - 8.5 lbs.
Davemk1 Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 I use Diamond racing wheels. They are lightweight steel wheels and they are made to order in most any bolt pattern and offset you'd like. Mine are 13 x 8 and they weigh about 11 pounds and only cost about $65 two years ago when I got them. Very good folks to deal with. FWIW brake clearance on my 1999 Birkin up front was no problem but it was very tight in the rear. I did a bit of grinding to high spots on the caliper to get it to clear. Dave
TheDingo8MyBaby Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Mine are 13 x 8 and they weigh about 11 pounds and only cost about $65 two years ago when I got them. I see 14 lbs on diamond's website. http://www.diamondracingwheels.com/ministock.html
Davemk1 Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 I see 14 lbs on diamond's website. http://www.diamondracingwheels.com/ministock.html OK.......... I weighed mine when they came in and I didn't write it down but they were less than 12#. Better to ask Diamond if the weight is a concern to you. dave
oilteq Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Another alternative is Real racing wheels http://www.realwheel.net/products.php?catid=19 The 13 x 8s are about $195. Not as pretty as some of the other wheels. Of course, Panasport makes 13-inch wheels, but pricey.
11Budlite Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Thanks for your input guys. I don't think it's going to be this year, but maybe in the future if I can start doing some track days.
