wheeladapter.com They make spacers to your spec at a good price. Also you should run a longer wheel stud with a spacer.

 

Well its only money If you are going to go for hubcentric spacers with the amount of leverage those big wheels are giving you have to go with quality. Something along these lines might work .

Thanks! I'm going to see if the shop can order me some. What's the lowest hubcentric spacer?

 

100% correct.

Kudda- The hubcentric rings are there strictly to help center the wheel when you're putting in the lug bolts. They're not the solution to your problem.

 

I think 10mm is the thinnest hubcentric spacer you can get

 

I think i should just go buy higher quality rims, since i know now that they will fit, 15x10 - 6" Backspace.

EDIT: My friend just saw me driving and told me that my rear wheels are wobbling. What's going on?

 

You have bigger problems than I think you understand. Props for trying something new, but this is going to cause you so many headaches and cost a ton of money to work properly...

 

Cudda, put the stock wheels back on and be done with it man. Whether you have Diamonds, HRE, BBS, or eBay specials, the wheels aren't going to fit. And even if you do get it to the point where you like it, the wheel bearings are going to blow up because of the excess stress you are putting on them with your retarded offsets and 10s.

Make sure your lugs are tightened properly. Like others have said having a hubcentric wheel means nothing once the lugs are tightened down.

Otherwise, make sure your car is safe before you go driving around, especially if you are car pooling ( ). Let's say one of your rear wheels manages to come off at, say 50mph, that's bad news.

Ok the problem might be that they're balance wrong. Someone that has diamond racing wheels just told me that they can't balance from the center, balance from the lug bolt holes. I'm not sure what that means but i'll ask the shop tomorrow. Someone also stated "Use Conical Seat Lug Bolts". I'm not sure if i am using that type right now but i'm willing to try anything. Last resort is just put my old stock rims back on Lol.

The rims look way better in person IMO. The pictures don't "cut it"! and I think i might make a video later. :-P

 

Wheels are bent/warped. I highly not recommend them to anybody. Others that also have them complained that they recieved warped rims too. What can i do if i can't send them back? Use a really heavy paper weight? Lol.

 

^^Ive heard that too. Thats the big problem with the steelies, they're made for the track so they're really soft.

And running stretched tires on them makes them even easier to bend over the littlest bump in the road. I wouldnt be surprised if you bent them just going over a speedbump.

 

This is just a shot in the dark but did you happen to use a credit card to pay for them ? Perhaps you could attempt a charge back ?

Yes i did use a CC. How do you do that?

 

lol.

I was just thinking about saving up for them. But they might bend too?

 

I'm just gonna say it for everyone who's read this thread, as well as myself.

NO. No. No. No. No. No. NO!

This isn't going to work given what you say your intent for the car is! The MINI that's running 15x10 is a TRACK-ONLY car. It doesn't see the street! I'm sure he's also done body modification to allow the wheels to fit under those arches, which is more money that you'll have to spend to make them fit.

The wheel bearings are the least of your worries, bud. If you aren't going to listen to the advice of people who have fit aggressive fitment wheels (Rally, Vic, JohnnyV, myself, and others), you're never going to get this to work. If you're gonna keep trying anyways, modify the body first (cut metal, fabricate wider arches, etc) and THEN order wheels. Until then, it's not going to happen.

Not trying to be a ****, but it needed to be said...

Edit: Apparently you can't say "dîçk" on NAM anymore. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Weak...

 

Thank you, Puma.

 

 

one day, ur gonna see yours wheels flying straight off of the hubs..

listen to those people man..

 

I really don't think he's trolling. If he is then he deserves a beer.

 

The wheels are bent because you are using them for other than their intended purpose. Diamond did nothing wrong here.

They are TRACK wheels. Lightweight and strong enough to go around a prepared track without potholes, expansion joints, etc etc. You are making them do something they are not meant to do.


So don't go trying to con Diamond out of their money.

 

I'm pretty sure they're not bent because they were spinning fine when i went 60mph+ tonight. I'm going to get them re-balanced on Monday using the lug-centric way. The way it says to balance them on their site. lol. Thanks!

EDIT: Well they just re-balanced them the lug-centric way today and they're actually drive-able now lol. They still told me that the rims aren't perfectly oval/round but hey, what do you expect? They're one of the cheapest 15x10 4x100 rims on the market. They were only test fitters anyways. I'll be saving up for these in the mean time...

Half the weight too, lol. I'll let you all know when i get them eventually and i'll be posting the pics. Thanks for your support ;-) !

 

 

Nice color of the Mini. Do they come stock like that?

 

I think that was a one or two year offering for the Cooper only. Mint green or something along those lines .
