I have been searching for some 15x6.5 Albino's as a spare set for the TTA AE86 GT Coupe and now realise its a needle in a haystack job. Anyone who has some won't sell em or they have cracks and the ones on Japan Yahoo are way too much for shipping to justify.

I have managed to track down a spare centre from a nice gentlemen in Qld and I was wondering. If I have the pattern remade and cast to a similar style, would there be a market for them here? They would be made to suit Simmons inner/outers and make some slight changes to the casting to stiffen them up a little.

They could be made in 15" and 16" x 6.5 to 10" for both Front and Rear wheel drive. As they are hand made 3pc, the offsets can be produced to suit your car +/- 40mm. Stud pattern would only be 4 stud with PCD's from 98mm to 114.3. Centrelocks for racing is an option too.

This is not a group buy or advertisement and only looking for comments at this point. No, I am not a wheel manufacturer or seller.........just someone trying to get something made that I need!!!

Appreciate your intelligent comments. Thanks

Does it have to be that brand/model?

I used to have some SSR's that looked just like that.

I have the below that are no name and slightly different.
I guess what I'm trying to say is there are other options if you want the look without it being genuine

These are close but... Rays Engineering Volk Racing 14x8.5 -17 (http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/showthread.php/26548-Rays-Volk-Racing-14-x-8.5-17-QLD?p=363343&viewfull=1#post363343)
They've been refurbished and widened (not sure if he still has the original outers) but 14x7 may suit wets?

Or these similar to to those pictured above Set of 4 SSR Fins 15x6.5 +20 (http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/showthread.php/24513)

Craig has a few sets of 15x6,5 SSR and Rays (http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/showthread.php/22429)

i would be interested in the cast ones youre getting made if they were available in more than 4x114.3.

Why cant you just get them cast blank and drilled+machined when an order comes through? Makes more sence to me.


I would be interested in 15's in 4x100 and 16's in 5x114.3.

Any idea of pricing?
