datsunfreak Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Just going away from the stock wheel and tire adds a lot of un-sprung weight Some wheels, not all. ;) Some light (sub 12 pound) 13x6s with 185/60-13 tires would be a good upgrade and be lighter than the stock wheels/tires.

datsunfreak Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Stock tire: 11 lbsStock wheel: 11 bs Name one 13" combo that is lighter. Weld Magnum 13x8: 9 pounds. Hoosier "sports car" DOT tire 185/60-13: 8 pounds. Done. B) Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 And I think that 11 pound weight for a stock steel wheel is bullshit. :rofl: But I'll let you slide on that. Until I weigh one tomorrow. At which point I will either eat crow, or talk smack. B) Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Those Welds are pretty sweet... Id rock those. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Those Welds are pretty sweet... Id rock those. Thought about them for the 1200. Magnesium center, spun aluminum barrel, any offset you want all for about $235 a wheel. That's a steal for a custom 3pc wheel. Quote Link to comment

That's a steal for a custom 3pc wheel. Not a terrible price... Im on a gold center kick right now. I have my final set of rims already picked out for the 4dr., but they are on hush right now. I just have to save up for them and the refinish. 1 Quote Link to comment
Davec Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Nice i like the wheel, can you custom width and offset? Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Nice i like the wheel, can you custom width and offset? Width, no. Offset, yes. They are made for mini-stock dirt track racing, and since 13x8 is the maximum allowable size, it's the only size they make. But you can get it in at least 6 different offsets. Here's another similar wheel, the Sander 36. Comes in 13x8, magnesium center, spun aluminum barrel, and is even lighter than the Welds. Just have to figure out how the hell to mount it on the car... :rofl: Quote Link to comment
Davec Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 custom adapter, ummmmmm nice!!!! Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 custom adapter, ummmmmm nice!!!! Was curious to see if a Dayton adapter would work on it. Proper "knockoff" wheels would be tits. :thumbup: Wouldn't cost much to find out I guess. Buy one Sander wheel then see if I can find an adapter that fits it... :rofl: Quote Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 ae86 corolla inserts fit as do rabbit and aw111 mr2 inserts, all 1.5" (1200 stock) instead of the 2" of the 210, and it all depends on what size wheels you want to run. 13" stick with the 1200 strut and modify, then do the Klotz brake upgrade still can use the 13" wheels. First I have heard that AE86 inserts fit.I would think that there would be a nice selection for the Corolla. I will look into that. Is there been any decent writeup on using them? I am in desperate need of either a rebuild or inserts. I had my struts down last night and was able to freely move the strut 100% through its stroke with almost no resistance. I would prefer to use inserts as opposed to the rebuild as I have just removed 2 coils off the front springs. Will post some photos later this morn. I am now more in need than ever being that much lower, I was bottoming out badly with the stock ride height, so my decision will be made this week and begin cutting and welding next week after Sundays Northgate meet.

ggzilla Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Yes, Toyota inserts are discussed at datsun1200.com Quote Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Must have overlooked the Toyota options, I was focused on the pulsar inserts as that seems the most closely related in the Gene pool. Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 I was thinking the same thing this morning. Is there a "1200s Untie!" thread? Quote Link to comment
