Custom wheel offsets

[4est]

Where do I find wheels with custom offset? I have 996TT offset (et 50) 8 inch wheels on the front of my car now, but would like 10" wheels with something like et 25 or 30 offset. When I do the rear, I am going to want 12-13 inch wheels with a custom offset there, too. Suggestions (shop, manufacturer)?

Most of the better custom wheel maufacturers will build any offset you want. It does come at a price. I'd contact Kinesis (They're back in business in Corona), BBS, FIKSE, CCW or HRE.

I own two sets of CCW's and had great experiences so far. They are light, three piece, strong, affordable, look good and are easy to replace parts on and reseal yourself. (get competition wheels)

The customer service is excellent. After cracking one of my rear inner rims, I sent CCW an email with a picture of the crack and 2 days later a replacement inner rim was in front of my door.

I would spend lots of time checking for correct offsets. Throw on something close and start doing the math to get what you want and then post here what you are looking for and see if someone has something you can test fit.

For the front try your original 18x10 et45 rears and some spacers. That is as close as a factory wheel will get for offset.

I had to deal with the "new" Kinesis about a year ago and would rather shove bamboo under my fingernails. What that company was when Peter owned the place in Poway is long gone. I would choose CCW. They speak independent racer. I have had few problems with new or old wheels with them and when I did they were quickly solved.

Jae used to do a nice Fuchs centered custom wheel for a reasonable price, but you need four damaged 16in fuchs for donors. I think that's what is on his Green Monster in 18in.

Other things you can do to take the guess work out is use one of two paths to arrive at your answer. First is a great tire/wheel offset calculator at:
http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp. Or buy a tool to do the same thing and experiment, here is a link to the tool: http://www.jegs.com/i/Percy's/760/01201/10002/-1
Either one will bring you to the answer

I have ordered a custom set of wheels from jongbloedracing.com for my boxster. Nice light weight 3 piece wheels. If you bend an outer it's only around 150 to replace it.

+1 for Jae Lee and custom rim centers, widths and offsets.

Last week he had a couple sets of custom 911 rims for sale.
Next month Jae will size/order some custom 17" barrels for my 16" fuch and BBS centers.
Custom 13" wide rears might need 10" neg offset.
