AME (Auto Mobile Engineering) Wheels

I finally got to fit the AME mesh wheels on the roadster. I had to adjust the front brake lines to keep the wheel from hitting it. Offset is at +23 with a width of 6.5 inches. I tested the steering at full lock in both direction and the wheels aren't hitting any of the steering and suspension components :D

Thanks guys! :D I had a nice drive this afternoon to test the wheels out especially when cornering. So far the wheels seem to fit nicely without it rubbing on the chassis or steering components. Light years ahead compared to the steelies I've been using for racing. Steering effort is much lighter and I could feel better grip especially at the front. Rebound from the shocks has also improved especially on bumps at high speed. I'm really curious as to how the roadster now handles on the track. Anyways, thanks again guys! Happy motoring! 8)

Steven:
You may be able to get them from AME, but I got center caps that fit directly from Enkei.

Cool! I'm actually missing one center cap with the AME logo. Do you have photos of your center caps or would you know where to buy generic caps that would fit our wheels? :D I'm nervous to put the original ones on the wheels, since I might loose it considering the pothole riddled streets we have. A cheap generic alternative would be nice for the mean time if there are any. Thanks! :D

You can find them on Ebay, measure the size of the hole in the wheel.

Thanks notoptoy for the photo reference. Yup, they look similar to what I have minus the Enkei logo. I'll also check out ebay, Dave. Fingers crossed for a nice bargain for a set. Cheers! :)
