low profile rims for Delorean



Dan,

I just ordered new rims for my Delorean, and I'm wondering if I got the best
thing. I want a one-piece aluminum alloy rim. I first tried to use TSW
Revo, but not many rims are made big enough for the rears that take a 4 bolt
pattern. It wasn't practical to make an adapter to make 5 bolt rims fit a 4
bolt rotor, so I went with a different style, same brand -- TSW Imola. I'm
going the same size you are -- 17" rear, 15" front. And I'm doing Falken
tires. They are cheaper and the warranty is better than Yokohama. The
dealer said both brands ride the same. I didn't consider Pirelli tires.

I would have used Yokohama tries had I of stayed with the OEM rims, since
that is what everyone says is best.

What brand rim are you using? And how much did you pay, might I ask? Mine
are costing me a speck over $1900 balanced and out the door.

When I get it all put together, I'll post pictures on Brain's web site.
Sure my Delorean isn't painted, and for that matter neither is yours now.
So we will have to twist Brain's arm and make him expand his site to include
customized Deloreans. For your car, I think a before and after picture on
his site would be cool.

My rims should be in by the middle of next week, so it is too late for me to
change my order if you have a better idea. (sigh). I have a suspension
lowering kit on the way from PJ Grady. It's gonna look cool!
