Hi Mark,
If the offset is the same as Panasports, I don't think you want much wider
than 6" wheels on a TR4. Wider wheels would require some modifications,
spacers,
etc. Even 6" (Panasports) run pretty close to the upper a-arm ends in front.
I currently have these installed on my TR4.
I previouisly used a set of 14x7 wheels on my TR4. The front tires would
"kiss" the inside of the fenders during hard cornering. Those wheels had a
different offset than the current 15x6 Panasports, so there were no clearance
issues
on the inside.
I don't know if a TR6 might accept a wider wheel, or about Konigs.
I do believe there is now a 16x6 Panasport that might be good for low profile
tires and oversize brake rotors on a TR4.
$55 a wheel is great! But, I'd be concerned about the width.
Cheers!

Subject: Konig Wheels
I was sent a link to NASA (http://www.nasaproracing.com/) that has a big
splash about Konig wheels and that if you join NASA you can buy Konig 15
inch wheels for $55 each, a real deal. They have a new wheel that is
similar to the old Minilite. They call it the "Rewind Graphite" (
http://www.konigwheels.com/catalog_product_details.cfm?CategoryID=1&ss_id=390
)
and it is available in a 15 x 7 wide. Does anybody know what the Panasport
width is that fits on a TR4-6? At $55 it would be a real deal if they fit.
Any comments on Konig wheels in general, they seem to be popular with the
tuner kids.
