Little hard from that picture, it is a bit small. I'd venture to say it's an 18" wheel.

 

Yeah, sorry. Got it from the Bond Mini site. Went a few pages further and it looks like a Yokohama wheel?? I didn't even know they made wheels??

And yes, definitely an 18". Looks perfect!

2nd EDIT: okay, looked at it again. Not it. The Yoko wheel is 10 spoke. The above pic is 7.

 

Yokohama wheels are made by the same people that makes Rays, Volks and Gram Lights. There is no 7 spoke in the current catalog.

Yeah. You posted as I was editing. Crap. What are they? They're hotness

 

I think they're Work wheels, XT7's.

 

Again... hard to tell because of the picture size, but SSR sold a 7-spoke wheel that looks very much like those. A buddy of mine has 18" versions. I believe they are no longer in production...

A number of companies have made 7 spoke wheels that look like those.

 

I'm certain they're XT7's as I started thinking of buying them after I saw this picture a while back.

 

+1....yup looks to be xt7's

 

Here's a pic

 

Sure does look like 'em. Tight. May need to look further into those. Anyone know a good Work distributor?

 

Ravspec.com - a NAM vendor and I've used them twice for my wheels (one Work set) and have been very happy with them.

 

Haha. Thanks roofa. I just found them in the vendor section and e-mailed them. What offset should I be looking at for an 18 x 7.5? I plan on going to coilovers and do not want to deal with rubbing/strut issues.

 

Still not 100% convinced they aren't GT7's...



Not that it really matters... as the GT7 isn't shown on the SSR site anymore... The XT7 appears to be about the same.

 

Pretty much the same except the weird bolt pattern on the Works. But like you said, irrelevant since it's not on the SSR or Tirerack site.

 

+42 to be safe or +35 if you want the wheels flush with the fender or you could run the +42 with spacers to give you that flexibilty.

 

Awesome. Thanks for the info, roofa. You da man!
Final question. Tire size selection: How wide can I go with these badboys?

 

if your putting them on your 08 in your sig, then a et38 is pretty close to the fender on the r56... mine are 38 and with the 17x7.5's if i go larger than a 205/45 tire (depending on brand) itll rub on bumps

this is with the rear jacked up some due to the ebrake on a hill too:

 

Man, those are 17's? Look bigger than that.
I'd really like to go bigger than stock sizes i.e. at LEAST 215's if not 225 if possible. So I assume you would say go et42?

 

if your car is lowered (or will be) then yeah, probably 42..stock is 48 and only 7" wide so they'll still be out almost an extra half-inch...mine are out 3/4" more than stock or something like that

 

Sorry, my specs were for an R53

 

I LOVED that wheel. A nod to the prodrive rally cars, super BBK freindly. It went the way of the dodo bird after SSR's re-structuring, with the Comp machiened lip, and GT2 and GT3's.

Ah... now that you mention it, if I squint really hard I can almost see the dual bolt pattern in the OP pic... so probably not the GT7...

Alex... I mourn the loss of the GT7 a lot less than I do the F1-GSD3 in the 205/50-16 size...

 

I hope the F1 Aysemetric eventually is made in 205/50/16!

They look like the Yokohama AVS T7, here is a picture of them on my car.
