I had half a dozen titles for this thread in my head... It's finally time to mount the Superlite wheels I bought in June 06. Mike Z was given a second chance offer from ebay when the auction didn't make reserve. He offered them up and I grabbed it. I bought them significantly cheaper than Pack Racing currently offers them for on their website. So it was worth it. Here's the original thread There were many questions (and even a little mis-information) in that thread. I'll answer quite a few here since I now have the wheels have tires mounted on them and I'm about to use them. BTW - 914world member Nick Mironov has a thread about his Superlite wheels. Nick's superlite wheel thread . Nick, you want to read this thread and possibly talk to Pack Racing about a set of inserts with a proper conical lug bolt/nut seat.

Dammit I can't win!
So I took the wheels/tires to the Big O Tire shop where I bought the tires originally to have the tires dismounted so I could drill the Superlight wheels for the inserts. Got the wheels all drilled, sent an email to the local gang looking for a shop press to install them (since my press is at Kevin's). Turns out the tire shop has a press and will let me use it. So I go back down there and start pressing inserts into wheels. As I finish each wheel, they are mounting and rebalancing tires on them. Everything's goin great, I'm on the last insert on the last wheel... *CRACK*!!!!!!!!!!!!! I put one crank too much on the press and the damn wheel cracked! I ordered a $175 replacement. That puts my total investment into these things at $560. Still a deal considering they cost $175 each for these wheels new. This cracked wheel will look great on the garage wall next to my "labor of love" polished Fuchs wheel. The wheel and the lug bolts should all be here before next weekend. I might get these wheels on the zambeziteen yet!   |
