Diamond Racing Wheels

[janowski96]

I wanted to go with the Diamond Racing wheels for my CB7. I was thinking about going with the 15" or 16" about 7" wide. What offset would be good so the wheels don't stick out but are flush with the fenders? What are other CB7 owners going with on these wheels and tires? If you can please post pictures to give me an idea what others have done. Has anybody dealt with Diamond Racing? When getting these from Diamond do they make them to any specification? What experience do you guys have with the company? I have done some looking around here but not too much information available regarding these wheels. I looked at Diamond Racings website and their site does not give too much information. Any suggestions would be great. Thx.

I wanted to put these rims on my car u have to flare the fender and camber the car case the rims so wide I made a post on this rims go on my thread

i LOVE these, but i HATE the camber lean

[Ferocious Cake]

Yeah I'm gonna agree with snail, diamonds look sick especially when they're black on any CB but they lean way too much for my taste

[janowski96]

A camber kit should be able to fix that though right? Any wheels will have that lean if no camber kit is installed. Maybe not as noticeable with other wheels but still have it.

a camber kit may be able to fix that, but depending on the offsett, you will probably need the camber for them to fit.

i don't think i've ever seen someone running those wheels without them poking out a little. later.

these ones look like theyre sitting pretty flush with the fender
they dont stick out too much
but i found this pic from the internet so i have no idea what (if any) camber kit this guy has

[doseonekmc]

the rims int that picture have madddd lean going on
definite negative camper, dude obviously likes the look
but that isnt flush

he is running an effective -2 offset on 8" wide tires, (+13 offset wheels with a 15 mm spacer to clear brakes) so if you want to be flush with no camber you'll want to go less than that, probably somewhere around +30-+40 offset wheels plus the spacer to clear the brakes.

if you don't want such an aggressive wheel fitment, buy a wheel that fits.

haha that's what i keep trying to tell people. at least the OP is trying to do a bit of research instead of grabbing any wheel he can find and ghetto-rigging his suspension to "fit" them.

i'm all for aggressive wheel and flush fitments... on a honda that's really the only reason to get these wheels because they're not light weight compared to other options.

[janowski96]

Thx for all the input. I'm still gonna do some research, but i'm just leaning more towards different wheels just because with the diamond wheels you need a lot more than just the wheel with the spacers, etc. Too much to deal with for a daily driver, and I would like my tires to last with the correct camber. So, it might just be a different wheel, still thinking about it. Thx anyways for the input guys

this. the whole point of running diamonds is for a straight race application because they're wider than standard steelies and are cheap as hell. Or because you wanna be gangster and run agressive offsets.

as far as the company, my buddy bought some 15x8 +12's from them. took them a while to get them ready and shipped but overall he was satisfied. you really have to do your own calculations to get the fitment you want though. they describe their offsets in backspacing inches as opposed to center offset in mm.
