Racing Sparco wheels

[silnv]

I have a few questions about Racing Sparco wheels.

Is their construction very good?

Do they have a heavy weight?

I have been searching around and cant find any information on them. I went to the Sparco website and they dont have them listed, which brings me to another question. Are they made by the same Sparco that makes racing gear? I did a search on here as well and nothing came up for them . Any help is appreciated.

IIRC, Sparco is a division/line of the company "Crimson Racing" and is not related to the Sparco that makes safety stuff (seats, Nomex suits, etc.). They are pretty well-made wheels and most of the ones I know about are pretty light...

Thanks for the info. If I do buy a set I will give my own review maybe to help future buyers.

Those are the ones I bought.:) I will probably have them repainted to match my car better, and because they are flaking some.

Ya I see the flaking, nice set of wheels though. Are you powdercoating or just using the spray method?

I might flirt with the idea of having them sprayed, but will probably just have them coated for a stronger finish. I am also trying to decide if I want the Sparco logo left on them or taken off.

I would remove it, it looks kinda cheesy

Hehe, I was just about to say the opposite. I like the way it throws the visual balance of the wheel a bit.

My freind has a set in 17s and they weight 18lbs a peice I love them its just that there on the expensive side more then Volk

Will those fit Z brakes and coilovers? That is the real question.

[silnv]

The fronts are 16X7 with a +36 offset and I will probably run a 5mm spacer. That should help clear z brakes, but I dont have them anyways. As far as coilovers I dont have any I have KYB's and Sportlines. :p

I think the logo's look cool... definately mixs it up a bit. Looks racey..

Does anyone have pics of those rims on a 240?
