18" 6UL's are coming!
We are planning our first production run of the new gen 5 6UL Tilt Cast & Flow Formed wheels for this summer. For those not familiar with 949 Racing, we are a small company based in California and have been making race wheels for about 20 years. All 15 and 17". These are our first 18's.
The tooling we have designed is quite versatile and will allow a wide variety of platforms, widths, PCD's and offsets. Since we are a small company, we will start with just a few fitments and add more every few months. 15 & 17" 6UL's for other fitments are shipping now.
Along with 5x100 fitments for the FT86 and GR86, we plan to start with one 5x114.3 fitment optimized for the S550 chassis. Thus the poll to choose the first one.
Please vote for the size you are actually interested in buying, even if not interested in the 6UL
18x9.5 +30 is a square fitment, no spacers required on most cars. Best with a bit extra camber in front.
18x10 +37 also a square fitment, may require a 5-10mm spacer up front, again depending on camber
18x11 +50 is square fitment. Perfect in rear but needs a full 25mm spacer, extended studs and extra camber up front. This one is a hardcore track/autocross fitment.
We'll eventually make the other two but will start with just one. Renders below. The pic is our 4 lug version to show the actual finishes.
- Tilt cast. A step up from gravity and low pressure casting
- Flow Formed
- 10% higher load ratings than industry standard
- Lifetime warranty that is not voided by track use.
- Knurled beads
- Dual valves for easy purging
- Clearance for 14" Wilwoods.
- Side milled and chamfered spokes for stress and weight reduction
- Anvil bead flange for increased bend resistance
18" 6UL
17" 6UL for MX5 4 lug
