From NAERC (Ken Esler): If you don't mind I would like you to set the people straight on the NAERC 6.0 wheels weigh 35 lbs on the front and 45 lbs on the rear. This is 5 lbs heavier then the original on the front and 7 lbs. heavier on the rear. They are a one piece cast wheel.

This is why they weigh a little more then the Roadster wheels. To make a magnesium 6.0 wheel the mold costs are 21,000 USD for the front and 21,000 USD for the rear.

The Roadster wheels weigh 30 lbs on the front and 35 lbs on the rear. I am coming out with a new three piece Roadster wheel in the next month or so. It will weigh less and will be made with a forged center. Chrome centers and rims will be an option we will be offering on the Roadster wheels at that time.

Here is a pic of my New wheels. Not exactly replicas but they look close to the diablo style. I got the wheels from sporttruck.com They are custom ordered to fit any vehicle. The wheels are made by Boyd Coddington. (American Hotrod). 2 piece exclusive series wheels.

This is a picture of my Compomotive wheel rims. My color scheme of the car will be Black with gold pin striping. I wanted the wheel rims of the car to match this scheme. The centers are powder coated in gold with black anodized rim bolts and lug nuts. However, Compomotive sent me the large caps. I wanted the small ones. They will send me the correct ones when they become available. But that may be academic since I plan on fabricating caps that are flush with the center - like the real caps.

I picked up those Michelin Pilot MXX3 335/35/17s and a pair of 235/40/17's (the 235's will work just fine) from Tire Rack. Great deal.

North American Exotics Wheels 17" they were made by a company in Edmonton that is trying to market them as well under the name Canadian Custom Design. I think they are starting to make them now in Vancouver and move away from the Edmonton Company.

The wheels are okay. They are only 2 piece welded so you can't make any changes later to the off set. The 17" wheels are only 11" so it very hard to slip the 13" at the bead tires on but they look reasonable when mounted.

I checked on having the wheel widened and there is a place here in Calgary that does it regularly and the cost was only $150 CDN each to add two inches. The 18" wheels they sell are wider (they use 2 barrels welded together) but are correspondingly more expensive. They came with center pieces with the bull on it - looks pretty good. Buy wheels cautiously, a stock Fiero chassis with a Diablo body will not handle the OEM size wheels and tires under the fender - they rub on the springs and go outside the fender. (Lou Diluzio who is building an Exotic Rebodies Diablo tried my wheels on his car and they would not fit at all, there was just not enough clearance. He is going to use a 20" by 10" aftermarket wheel instead).

A three piece wheel is always superior to a 2 piece, when the center is welded in it is difficult to ensure perfection and most are machined later to make them straight. I have had to send mine back because they were about ¼ inch wobble.

The wheels are polished 18" Replica Diablo Roadster wheels from North American Exotic Replica Cars.

Lamborghini logo valve stem caps (not pictured), $12.50, from eBay.

Finding a place to mount 13" wide 18" tires and balance them, additional work and cost. ;-)

Hey, Just thought id send you these shots of my wheels..well wheel. I finally got one back from being powder coated. One wheel had a bunch of bubbles in the finish so it is being redone, and the rears had some runs in them. Never the less the guy is taking care of it. I was able to bring home this front one which is pretty good. Notice i don't say perfect...;)...nothing is.... but here are the pics... I wish they were a touch brigher..but they may brighten up with some sun (rainy day).

My tire sizes are 235/40zr17 and 315/35/zr17. It is some very wild looking tread design.

Just wanted to send in some pics of my Compomotive VT rims. I weighed the rims and the front weight was 25 lbs and the rear was 26-1/2 lbs.
