nobody knows nothing? no way not on nam.

 

Some owners have looked at the Hanabi 15x7 wheels for autocross or track.
They seem OK. Maybe they lack a centering ring. A set of four in plastic is about $25 plus shipping from 1010tires.com

those wheels look 1990's

 

. . .they are the new "retro" style.
Everything's always going retro at a rate that's faster than actual time. 2x it seems. Anyone else notice that? In the 80s, the 50s were hip. In the early 90s, it was the 60s; in the late 90s it was the 70s; then we just got a taste of 80s in the early 2000s, and now. . . we're only a decade behind. The mass advertising machine is at full speed. In another couple years we'll be instant retro. I guess pop culture is eating things up so quick and material is running thin.

Anyway, I dig the wheels. 15s may look too small, and 17s are a bit heavy. In 16s with some spacers to push them out to the fender with 205/50s would be the shizzle. Has that come back yet? My bizzles?

 

actually it's a little head of our time... fashion (like i know ) this
year is apparently the 80's.

and i wish department stores would not pull out xmas crap in September! :impatient

 

Not a bad wheel for the price, if you don't mind the spokes going clockwise on one side of your car and counterclockwise on the other side.

 

i hear it makes the car spin easier going left.

 

A bit late coming, but might as well say it:

I've had a set of Falken Hanabi in 15" for autoslalom on my MCS for a year and a half with Hoosiers mounted on them, and 3 out of 4 craqued in the hub area/ strut base. That's 2 1/2 hours of slalom use!

Yes they're light, but they don't seem to be able to witstand the lateral G's imposed on them by autoslalom.

My 2 cents.
