Can Anyone Tell Me What Wheels These Are (and whre to get them)?

[PrinceE30]

I know they are ACE wheels.

I can read "motor sport line" on them. However, all google searches have come up empty. I orginally found this wheel on the 4titude Audi forums, so I'm going ot post there too. In the mean time, anyone else have any ideas what this is?

don't put them on your car, they look gaudy!

I'm looking at them as a function following form. The spin of the wheels should push air into the wells cooling the brakes. I'd like to see the weight of them to see the performance feasability of them.

Randy!!! NOOO! Those are complete trash. It's Lorinser LM6 knock-off. We had a customer come in with a set he bought himself for us to put on his Lexus SC430 and he's been back at least five times fo vibration issues. That is a sh*t wheel and is heavy as hell, too.

Go with something simple like a Kosei, as it's open enough. Hell, unless you're running old-school VW solid wheels, you'll get enough cooling on your brakes. Remember, your car only weighs ~2,800 lbs...it's not a damn SUV. Just run a decent pad and get some higher-temp fluid and stainless lines.

I was just a whimsical thought that I had in mind for an E46 / E90 project car. In actuality, it probably wouldn't go through to fruition. But I like the concept of using a wheel like that to cool brakes (something Renault F1 is working on right now).

I'll take eveyone's suggestion though and I would pass since it seems there is no performance aspects to the actual wheel.

Beaumont is teh win!

'nuff said.

Porsche has been using wheels to help cool brakes for a while. It doesn't help very much though.
