I've been looking all day for some 15" 5 lug wheels. I have some brand new (2) 195/60/15's and (2) 205/65/15's put I dont have any 15" 5lugs. I want to make them into my rears for drifting and practice. I already have the 4 tires to burn up plus the fact of how much cheaper you can get 15" tires for...its actually a smart idea. Here is what I have found but I just wanted to know if anyone else had anymore ideas.
Sportmax 002 15x7 5x114.3 +38
Rota Slipstream 15x8.0 5x114.3 +40 or 15x7.0 5x114.3 +35
I found some old Work 15x8 5x114.3 0 but they arn't for sale anymore and this is really all I can find.
Anyone have any other ideas?

I got a badass set of 15's that are like neg offset if you want them. Plus saves you from going 5 lug! If not go Diamond Racing steelies.

Diamond Racing > Rota or Slipstream crap
I mean they're just your track wheels, right?
So get some cheap track steelies from Diamond Racing, rather than supporting the knockoff companies.

Didn't remember Diamond Racing. Good idea.
'90RPS13-I'm already 5lug (95 se) thats why. The wheels I actually have tires mounted on are some s13 steelies. If I were 4 lug I would just use the steelies.

off hand I can't think of any 15" wheels with decent offsets that come in 5 lug.
start checking all the used parts sites like:

http://www.wheelchoice.com/

I found some 15x7 +38 and 15x7.5 +32 Advan's in 5x114.3. But I think I might just get 2 sets of Diamond Racing 15x8 0. I would get the 15x10 but I dont want to stretch a 195/60 on a 10" wide wheel.
Still open to any ideas or thoughts if anyone had one. Or even pics would be nice to if anyone has some.

If you have 5 lug you have no business being on some 15's.
Just get free steelies if you MUST use up those tires.

why not just sell the 15inch tires to some hachi owner for a few bucks
that way money will be coming in
BUYING wheels to use the tires...well, after the event you will have less money and the tires will be gone, worse than you are right now

i owuld have to say either som ssr reverse mesh wheels
but i do agree, sell the tires and go bigger unless they are for track use and you want a lighter wheel. but than again, you could look at something like the rpf1's for a light wheel in 5 lug

All the wheels would be for is track use. Aka burning up tires. I was just going to sale the wheels and tires but then I thought instead of selling my 4 lug wheels/tires and buying new wheels/tires I would just save money on tires using 15" plus already having 4 tires to start with.

Logan you disappoint me...I'm surprised it took you that long to say that lol.

What color is your car? Do you ever post on H240? I almost thought I saw a pic of a redish colored s14 with 14" Diamond Racing steelies on there once.

15's make perfect sense for track wheels. It doesn't take many sets of tires to make up the cost of a set of cheap wheels.

I found some 15x7 0 offset by American Eagle. They would fit perfect and wouldn't look to bad. Only down fall is weight but they aren't that bad.

That or Diamond Racing.
