Fifteen52 Wheels

[Vette Moto]

Turbomac HD Classics, just got them mounted up Friday.

285/75/17 Open Country A/T III tires.

I despise fake beadlocks so these fit the bill for me.

I took the wheels to Discount Tire and they did TPMS sensors and mounted the tires up. Good guys to deal with, he even sold me the TPMS sensors for a pretty good discount after I told him I was gonna make them pull the sensors from the OEM wheels because I was too cheap to pay what they were asking

What offset are these? ET0 or ET25? Got anymore pics? They look great.

I'll check them out. Does ET0 have a lot of poke? Are you running 35 tires?

I just ordered some Turbomac HD’s and I’m really excited to receive them. What lug nuts are you guys using? I’m hoping to avoid spline nuts if possible.

I am pretty sure that is your only option.

The wheel lug openings are fairly small and a hex lug nut will not work.

ETA I see in the link posted above they make a hex drive nut that is smaller so perhaps that will work.

I’ve discovered the bulk of wheel manufacturing folks do their business in lot releases. I’m in the same spot as you are on the rims I purchased two years ago. My concern is that like most manufacturers of anything, sales expectations are the real driver of future production schedules.

Well after talking to the guys at Fifteen52 I found out that they had a set sitting for me, now some back and forth with Northridge4x4 and my set is on the way. So pumped for them now. As soon as they show up they are off to get powder coated.

Do some research before powder coat wheels, some manufacturers will not honor the warranty if they are powder coated. Metal stress with the 400 degree bake off for 20 minutes.

These delivered today! I’m looking for a shop to color match them to my Gator Gladiator. I’m jumping up to 33’s as well for now.

I didn’t realize the version I got on sale was the version with the simulated beadlock. It’s not my favorite, but it’s pretty subtle at least. I’m not sure if I want to leave it black or color match it as well.

I’d leave it black and if it’s a replaceable bead protector type of thing see about ordering replacements sooner rather than later. Having a couple extra sets around will be a benefit if they ever decide to discontinue the wheel. On my Mickey Thompson wheels the bead protector looked like bacon after a couple good years of wheeling. Did their job though so couldn’t complain.

That’s a good idea. I’ll have to check that out for sure.

Paint quotes were crazy expensive considering the complexity of the wheels. I’m going the powder coating route. It won’t be a perfect match but it will be close enough I think. I’ll post pics once everything is done and installed in the next week or so.

The fifteen52 Range wheels on the Anvil concept looked amazing.
