Boosted Falcon

Hi All,

It sucks that when having a wheel ofset of +6 that u have very small range of wheels to choose from and there not that great compared to others out there. So i want to do a poll and find out what rims people want for there X-E series Falcon and send Tempe Tyres and see if they can can arrange something with wheel manufacturers as i know they do custom wheels but not for every wheel they range.

So plz post a link from there website of which rims you would like and in what size and also vote.

Another quality mickkyyyy thread.

I'm fine with drifteks thanks, though if they could make them in 17x11 that would be sick

the fact there are no "mesh" style rims at all to fit E-series pisses me off.... but i doubt anyone is gonna doing anything about it haha

so i ended up with with these 18x8" in +10mm offset, they fit no issues at all

You never know if they will as ive heared from a very good source there buying out a very well known rim manufactoring company so if there is interest in a niche market where no one else does rims then there is plenty of money to be made.

Plain and simple X-E series offset rims are a niche market and more X series are coming up with modern bling wheels and ive meet a few E series owners that dont have much choice becuz of this issue.

on the slim chance this actually happened, the rims would most likely be prohibitively expensive...

...and at that you would just buy some simmons wheels, because they look awesome and come in any offset you want.

who's buying out what exactly?

Dont be a sook and run some hub adaptors.

im quite happy with my wheels
cheers

im in no position to say whos buying who out sorry

and hub adaptors are plain illegal and can be dangerous, i experienced vibrations when decelatrating with my 35mm hub adaptors unless doing it slowly and im not prepared to run the risk of vioding my insurance policy over having hub adaptors.

on the other hand ive had my hub adaptors on for over 2 years now and have not had a single issue....did you just do the nuts up or torque them to 80nm as you're supposed to?

vibrations only occur if they're loose

I believe he's saying that Tempe is going to be the ones to buy out the rights to manufacture Simmons.
Unless someone else is going under, I've only heard the Simmons rumour.

maybe theyre going under because you need to mortage your house to buy their wheels

ROH have a couple nice Modular wheels that can be custom made...... but im guessing would be similar pricing to Simmons

i fucking wish i could have one of these

If anyone wants wheels The tyre experts in melbbourne can get a few things for us. Spoke to Paul and he told me that there going to receive a new shipment next week and some of them will fit X-E series falcon

He can do the rims on the XY on E series offset but at $3500.00 as it needs to be machined

pretty drastic measure to get a more common offset.... be like sleeping with your pig ugly cousin just because she puts out...

nstg8a good call dude hahaha

hahahahahahahahahaha and AU are pretty ugly unless there a TE50

mickyyyy do any of your threads ever turn into anything more? Dont mean to sound harsh but does anything else
ever happen?

yes my freind, the brake upgrades i mentioned about in another thread are coming

I know a few people in the car industry so i can get things to happen if i get enough genuine interest, all it takes it enough interest to get some made and other come to the party soon after

fair enough... just thought I'd ask I'll keep a keen eye on the brake thread....

There is not $1000 worth of machining to put them on an E series. seems a bit outlandish. The wheels on the XY look great and i would love to change my rears to 10' wide..

Well thats what his engineer is charging him to machine them so it dosent matter what we think its worth unfortunatly, im happy to pay $3500.00 for a wheel package like that becuz something equvilent to be made up is just $4000.00 just rims plus tyres so looking about $5200.00 for rims but there better quality as there billet.
