18x9 18x10 6UL @ 949 Racing

[949 Racing]

Coming this Summer

We'll start taking pre-orders in April. Wheels shipping in July.
There will be a fat discount for early orders. Details TBA
These are all new wheels, designed and engineered in our California office, made in Taiwan.

Tilt cast (not gravity or low pressure)
Flow formed
40% higher load rating than VIA standard for the 86
mid 19 lb range for the 18x9, mid 20 lb range for the 18x10
Knurled bead
Anvil rear flange design for greater bend resistance
Clearance for Wilwood Superlite 328mm BBK on 18x9. More on 18x10
We ran 18x10 +40with 265/35's on our record setting time trial build "Blub" with 15mm spacers in front, 5mm in rear and it was perfect. No fender roll, no rubbing. So this set up will allow you to rotate tires with just a 10mm spacer on front.

For fans of our previous generation 17x8 and 17x9, yes we have 17's coming towards the end of the year.
For GR86 owners, our similar Coto design will be offered in the right offsets for the platform. Same basic spoke pattern as the 6UL but without the lip.

18x9 +35 for the 1st gen
18x10 +35 for the 1st gen

GR86 requires just enough more offset to need a different set of tooling so those wheel will be the Coto design later this year.

Questions?

Nickel


Beskar


Bronze

Pic of Blub, our record setting TT build from a few years ago. These were 18x10 +40 with 15mm front and 5mm rear spacers. 265/35 Goodyear Supercars 3R and our race alignment spec. This is why we're doing our 6UL in 18x10. It's the ultimate track set up.

TBD. Rough prices on the site although they could change. Pre orders will get a huge discount when we launch in a month or so.

Can you PM me the discount. I am getting upset with the vendor who I ordered my Hypergrams from. If they don't ship I might just go for your 18x9

Shoot us an email info@949racing.com or call. We aren't able to keep track of all the dm's pm's and messaging apps

Keep in mind, these are not for sale quite yet. Just letting folks know they will be in the next month or so, since it's a new size for us and new design.

Few more CAD renders, different angle of the Nickel finish.

After a few discussions here about the nature of perception of what "bronze" is on a wheel, we decided to give this finish a new name. Spice.

Here is production finishes on our 17x9 wheel for the ND MX5. The FT86 6UL wheel will be a bit more concave. The GR86 needs a bit higher offset so it will be our Coto design coming late this year.

Top and bottom pic is direct sunlight. Notice how the light catches the metallic flakes in Spice so it pops. Middle pic is in shade so its a softer and more muted tone. We dig it.
