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.

Those are press in inserts to convert mag/flat seat to cone seat?

Yes. Pack Racing normally installs these inserts, but since I bought these wheels used they somehow didn't get them installed originally.

I'm still only at $560 for the set. That's not much more than a set of Fuchs and it's a unique wheel. I'm looking forward to finallly getting them on the car.
