Bummer. I'm very interested in the offset for the 8" version.
I had some TRM wheels on my E30 and loved 'em. Even the finish was better than some much more expensive wheels. It was really tough to fault them for anything other than style. But that's subjective, anyway. I'm kind of lukewarm on this style, but for the price, weight and quality (presumably), I'm happy to use wheels that are so-so in the style department.

I just chatted with Jared at TTR. He said the 17x8 wheel will have an offset of 45, also. Too bad, as I was hoping for 35ish.

Damn, that kinda sucks. Oh well, for the price I will just run a spacer as long as the weight is good.

vroom4 · 01-06-2015, 09:00 PM

I can get rpf1 in +45 for about that same price, so it's not a good option for me.

Lol. Not everyone can get RPFs $300 off for a set. Unless you can to share your pricing with us. Haha

vroom4 · 01-06-2015, 09:15 PM

Could probably get you close

they are all on back order though so you'd have to wait a month or so

redlined600 · 01-06-2015, 10:57 PM

Hmm, just how close? I may very well be interested. Pm if need be.

chaoskaze · 01-06-2015, 11:22 PM

I like wut thet got, but none of their wheels are made to fit on 86. Even the new one judging from the picture.

Ｉt would be nice to get TRMotor C1 or C3 to fit on our car.

What's up with cheap wheels having the worst looking center caps in the whole world? I've seen plenty of cheap wheels that would look great without the cheap looking center cap. A bulky piece of plastic should by no means be a center of attention on a wheel.

XXR's, Enkei does it too...the list goes on.

Not to derail my own thread but anyone looking for RPF1s should jump on this.

Had a set of black TRM C3s I used as track wheels on my S2k once upon a time.

IMO, the "light grey" paint they use is really cheap in both appearance and function.
Appearance cuz "light grey" is a dull blah color where most manuf, including other TRM products, also have a "brite silver" paint that looks more like an RPF1 type of silver.
I say function cuz on the black wheels I had the paint chipped super easy and you end up having dotted wheels if you aren't SUPER careful.

Also, the sunken lipped spoke design doesn't look very bbk friendly if you have or plan to get one.
