Tires (NORCAL) WTB a set of OEM LTW wheels, staggered is a plus. Would like to have a decent set of tires on them if possible. My tires are getting really low and I am thinking about the future brake upgrades. Want to get a set really soon, rear tires at at wear marks and the rain season starts any day now. I can offer a number of services (forced induction consulting , part sourcing, machining, etc), parts and or just cash - whatever is preferred. Some interesting pieces that I have - possible large throttle body ( I have spares that I can machine) Thule 225 Kit w. Bars I have a complete intake manifold with everything all the way to the cylinder head, if anyone needs that Shallow mount sub enclosure box Idle control valves Or once again, just let me know how much you want.

Those would be perfect, but he wants to only trade... :-/ | | | 11-04-2013, 11:56 PM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: San Francisco, CA Posts: 425 | Those are closer than you might think unfortunately one of them looks a little different than the three, one is made in germany whereas three are made in Italy, and the german one has a machined groove in the wheel face, while the other ones don't. I tried searching for another italian replica, as they would be totally fine for what I wanted, but unfortunately I couldnt find anything. I just found a deal where the guy wants to swap his stamped, staggered set for any set of wheels and I am meeting him tomorrow, if those are forged, it's a done deal! | | | 11-06-2013, 08:28 PM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: San Francisco, CA Posts: 425 | /thread | | | 11-07-2013, 11:49 PM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2009 Location: Orange County, CA Posts: 2,019 | +1! __________________ V2 in progress.

These are some conclusions: There were three major variations of LTW Wheels: 1. Stamped Forged Staggered set (OEM, 1995) 2. Forged Staggered Set (OEM, 1996-1999) 3. Replica Square set (all replicas are 7.5" wide, obviously non OEM) The OEM sets were all staggered (8.5 back, 7.5 front, all have ET41 offset). Interesting notes are that the Cast set is easier to bend/crack than the forged set (I'm guessing they did not design the lips to handle the loads proportionally to the forged ones). The forged set is the lightest and rarest, the cast OEM is rare, and then replicas are a bit more abundant. When buying a replica set, be very careful in examining the specs - one of mine had a different offset (ET42) and was made in germany, while the others were made in italy. There is nothing wrong with replica wheels if you have a good set, they are similar to OEM cast wheels in terms of how easy it is to damage them, however they are heavy and I mean HEAVY! I could tell a definite difference between an OEM forged wheel and a replica wheel (And I didn't expect a major difference). OEM forged 8.5 wheel with a tire weighed about as much as my stock 16" wheel with a tire, which was pretty impressive. Last edited by Artem; 11-13-2013 at 09:42 PM.
