08 black composite wheel disc!!!!!!!!!!
Just finished this set for my 08 Sport with about 1 hour of wheel prep.
Material is black G10 composite however any material can be used including carbon and aluminum.
Raised lettering is auto graphics vinyl.
Wheel covers measures 21 inches with one inch to spare over the road surface to the edge of the disc.
First prototype run off the CNC was bolted on the car as is and run for a few days.
Wheel balance remained the same, no noticable change in vibration, ran smooth.
Down here in Florida the reflective lane markers are very high!!!!!!!!!!
And I clipped a couple with only slight abrasion to the disc edge.
If the tire rolls over the reflector, that's OK.
Going over speed bumps has not been a problem either.
Of course I can back off the diameter to any measurement I desire but this was to push the limits of the 21 inch design using the standard
195/55 R15 tire on the sport rim.
Mounting is 5 point using the outer dimple locations every 72 degrees.
The factory aluminum sport rims were very close tolerance when measuring between mounting points. as well as to center.
Mounting required drilling and tapping the dimple location for 10-24 stainless button head allen cap screw using every other dimple for a 5 point mounting pattern. I used a specific length screw spacer to allow for spacing between the tire and the disc to about 1/4 inch.
Can make any diameter and mounting pattern.
Set of 4 with hardware $299.00 currently in black or blue.
Add $25.00 if you the 10-24 drill bit with adjustable stop and two taps.

g10 is just a grade of strong fiberglass. wont carbonfiber add to galvanic corrosion at the nuts since the wheel is exposed most to the elements compared to everything else on a car. what is the point to all this?
