Default Wheel Experts please respond.

i have pretty much narrowed my choice of rims down to the lowenhart br5 and mille miglia evo. i know quite a discrepancy in price right my question is, will either of these wheels allow for the supra/rmm brake upgrade? also, i know that lowenhart are pretty revered as a quality wheel. but what about the evo? are they quality or crap? thanx for the help.

The Mille Miglia will not clear the caliper for a big brake upgrade. I will have to check to see if a high disk can be ordered for the BR5. Anyone else know?

Doc,

both are good wheels for what you would pay..but MM probably will not have the fittment should you need high disk for supra tt break upgrade in the future..

BR5s are aka Bersaglio Spoke II in japan ......and YES you can get high disk application for the future..

take a look:
