[V8] DTM wheel size

[getur at optonline.net]

According to a magazine article posted on the www.audiv8.com site it's 18"  shod with Michelin 255 X 645. They don't give the wheel width. The link is http://www.audiv8.com/german/reports/gf0191/gf0191-v8dtm-4.jpgI would imagine the wheel width would be 9" for that size tire.Compomotive sells a knock off of that wheel, and the last time I had checked for the 16 x 8 size it was ~ $1700 for a set. I guess the 18 x 9 would be $300 to $500 more.George TurV8 lying around in pieces----- Original Message -----From: "Coleman, David" Date: Monday, April 9, 2007 2:20 pmSubject: Re: [V8] DTM wheel sizeTo: Ingo Rautenberg Cc: V8 list > Yeah, is the wheel bug going around??> > I for one am looking to upgrade from 17x8 non-forged to a 9-inch > forgedwheel (BBS, HRE, etc), probably along the lines of the 3-> piece mesh DTM> design, and am giving big thought to powdercoating the center > area gold.> Kind of retro against the white car, but that's okay by me.
