Hockenheim FVD wheels..anyone have them?.

They seem to be a good wheel for the money..the 19X8.5's only weigh in at 21.3lbs. The website doesn't mention the weight of the rear's at 19X11".

Here they are..



I'd like to run these with 245/305 setup..

$692 for the fronts and $751 for the rear ea. 52ET for the rear and ET49 for the front. Is that a pretty aggressive offset?

Dave

Available from some of our sponsor vendors. I think you want to double-check those prices with some other suppliers. Victor wheels are known to be a bit heavy, made just for Porsche sizing and offsets, but a good price.

As one example.

I don't know about being heavy...a 19X8.5" wheel at 21.3lbs is quite a bit less than the 19X8" lobsters. You guys are right though..I think those are the wheels. One difference though..FVD shows a 19X8.5 for the front while the victor equipment only mentions a 8" front. I wouldn't even bother unless I can go 8.5" on the front.

Thanks for the reply...

Dave

machina has a spectacular aura aboutmachina has a spectacular aura about
The info I have is...

18x11 - 33 lbs
18x8 - 27 lbs

That is for the victor equipment Zehn wheel. Maybe the FVD is lighter but they look to be the identical item.

Too bad, they would have made good track wheels.

Thanks for the reply guys...I will call FVD on Monday and get all the facts..

mdrums: I agree the CCW would be the way to go on a budget, but the styles just don't grab me. I am not into a highly polished wheel, I want something more subdued. I will look into it more.

CCW does subdued....just call them. They are a custom company. I had a set of there wheels for the track and I will have another set. They have many styles.
