First race on the 15’s. We should have done this sooner.

Looks good Chip! Are you running those with stock brakes? Would have thought you would have interference issues.

Thanks Ben. Yes, Jongbloed now makes a 15” wheel that clears the turbo calipers by about 1/2 inch.

2 sets of nice wheels.

I need to paint my second set of cup wheels. They look great when painted and clean.

Whats the advantage of 15” wheels? Light weight?

Chipster

A few years ago we noticed that all the E Class (80’s) 911’s we race against started running faster on 15” wheels. We thought about doing the same but had trouble finding wheels that cleared the Turbo calipers. When Jongbloed came out with these wheels, we thought we would give it a try. They are not only lighter, they give the car a lower center of gravity and the smaller circumference changes the gear ratios. Now the car handles much better, pulls out of the corners faster and is even more stable under braking. We were faster on track right out of the box.

I don't see that on their website. The closest one looks like it has a 4 bolt pattern. What is this wheel called?
