Hey guys, two questions about the AME TM02's...

1. In the image below is the wheel color "Gunmetal Black" or "Hyper Sliver"?



2. Does anyone have any pics of the Gunmetal Black or the Hyper Sliver TM02's on a black 350Z? Looking to see both colors. Please post pics...thanks.

 

I think that is the hyper silver, the gunmetal black is a little darker (more of a deep metallic gray).

 

Those are hyper silver.



I miss them ha.

 

Love these wheels.

 

How much do these wheels generally cost? Weight? Any good sizing/offsets?

 

Yeah, these rims are sick. Best I've seen on a black 350z. I personnally like the Hyper Sliver color. As for pricing...they ain't cheap:

sport-series-tracer-tm02

I'm still debating if I can afford them. I had a budget set for myself for rims and body mods, and this would certainly set back the body mods.

Any vendors out there who can offer a better price on someone looking to buy 4x AME Tracer TM02 Wheel 19x9.5?

 

problem is there are none in the US at the present time and after the 1st of the year there won't be a distributor for them anymore (last orders are going in this week into next, then no more thereafter)

sizes are/were 18x9 +15, 18x9.5 +22, 18x10 +15, 18x10.5 +22, 19x9.5 +22, 19x10.5 +22

colors are/were dark gunmetal (18's and 19's), silver (18's and 19's) and matte black (19's only)

pricing was in the $2200 range for 19's and just under $2k for 18's

 

Why?

 

I would assume it was a business decision by Endless/Zeal USA, who was the distributor for the US. After the 1st of the year, they are no longer offering the AME line. Their last order for the whole line is going in just prior to year end, so if you want a new set, let us know, as know is the time.

 

These wheels made me realize i want different wheels. I put mine up F/S. If they sell im going to attempt to get these wheels. If not, the search contunes.

 

If I'm not mistaken they are a fairly light and strong wheel that uses Enkei's MAT processing (If i'm not mistaken they are actually manufactered through Enkei as well). Maybe Enkei will step up at year's end and get a deal with AME to distribute or purchase a shared right to the wheel. IMO it would probably sell better as an Enkei through the stronger marketing they are able to create. I searched a long time before finding this wheel only to see a 2-3 month waiting time. Needless to say I passed, but would have loved to have got them.

 

Yeah Rodizzle, those look ridic on your car. I love these wheels. What are the specs on your fitment? I'm guessing 19's, but are they 19x9.5 all around or 19x10.5, how wide are they F/R, and is it a +22 offset?

It appears that these wheels in 19" only come in a 22mm offset, and I've read that an offset that low my require fender rolling. Did you have to do this, or no problems?

 

AME is just another line within the Enkei umbrella

 

his are 18x9.5 +22, 18x10.5 +22

as far as rolling, etc, its a function of many things - rideheight, camber specs front/rear, and your exact tire choice (not tire size, but the size and specific tire).

 

So you're saying that for this specific tire the offset is fine?

 

that's a question you need to direct to whomever owns the car - all I know is we supplied the wheels to the person he bought them from

 

They were 18x9.5 +22 Front and 18x10.5 +22. I was also running a 15mm spacer in the front and a 20mm in the rear.

The tire sizes were 275/53 and 235/40. They were nice and aggressive. And I was had my fenders rolled. With a +22 without spacers you should be running most tire sizes.

I was also running neg 3 camber in the rear and 2.5 in the front with my spacers.

 

so these wheels are discontinued?

man I really liked these wheels..

 

Just a tidbit. My current wheels are 19x10.5 in the rear with a +22 offset. I have 275/35 tires on them and didnt need to roll the fender. I'm also dropped on tanabe GF210 springs.

I put 5mm spacers on the wheels making the offset +17 and had to roll my rears.

 

Thanks cosmec, appreciate the response. I really want to avoid fender rolling. I plan on 19x10.5 rear with 285/35/19 tires and +22 offset. I didn't think it would require rolling but I thought it might be close. Thanks
