Re: 6ul wheels

Ok, thanks for that info :) I am thinking about using a 16x8 wheel with a 225/45/16 tire. The R16 tyre diameter is 605mm, 18mm more than the R15 tyre. I'm putting a longer gear set in the box which which should suit the torquy motor. While what you say about the 17 inch tire seems to be good, it is ...

Re: 6ul wheels

True, the damage wasn't too bad considering. Would like to see some photos or your 4wd rocket when you've got it ready to race :D Do you think going to a 17x7.5 will be better than a 15x8? I can still use a 225 width A050 tyre with 45 profile, the only thing that concerns me is whether I can fit the...

Re: 6ul wheels

Wow :shock: 1400lbs is very light and with that power it will be amazing to drive :D
I will get forged wheels, I don't want to risk another failure with cast wheels.
Hopefully my hubs are strong enough :wink:
Some photos of the damage the wheel caused.

Re: 6ul wheels

I made a mistake in my previoius post, I can't get the Enkie in 17x9 because the hole pattern is 5 lug, I need 4x100.
Will probably get a set of forged Volk racing wheels and sell the 6ULs.

Re: 6ul wheels

Thanks for your replies everyone :) The 6UL wheels were purchased new in October 2010 and the car is only driven to get to the race track or to the workshop for maintenance. I would say the wheels were driven on the public road approximately 15 times and at the racetrack 3 times. During that time I ...

Re: 6ul wheels

Hi all, I'm new to this forum, I just joined to get opinions on the 6UL wheels. I live in Australia. I have a Honda Civic hatchback 1995 EG with B16A turbo engine (approx 300hp at the wheels), I use it for track days. I have a pair of 6UL on the front - 15x9 and 15x8 for the rear. I use Advan A050 t...
