Any need to get hub centric rings due to the 73.1 center bore? If so, best place to get aluminum ones?

Also curious on lug nuts as these wheels be on/off the car often - I'm thinking splined is not the way to go in case the socket goes missing at the track

i use these on my 16x8 dekagrams and they're awesome

A variety of lug nuts are available. I'll indicate you're interested and they can go over options at checkout. I personally use mcgards so I won't be ordering lugs

Actually, wouldn't Braid (depending on the model) be closer to at least $1200.00 a set, before shipping, even for that size in white? [dunno]
Yup, i was mistaken. Its like $1076 for a set of Full Race Maxlight in 15x8 +35 which is what i requested from Braid when i was looking at them. That was without shipping and without a color other than white(which i like but wanted Bronze at the time).

So $500 savings for a wheel that is about the same weight, size and offset works for me.

I got mine off Amazon. Just search 73.1 to 63.4 aluminum hub rings and they will come up. Think they were like $10-15 total.

With the lugs, i went with Muteki SR48 open ended lugs, again, off Amazon. They were cheaper than anywhere else i could find, including Whoosh. Think i spent $45 on a full set.

Unfortunately I am out. I need tires now so I am just going to keep my OEM wheels.

unfortunately I'm out as well. I figured this would take a bit longer to get settled and thought it'd be a bit cheaper

No worries! I've updated the list.

Got about 4 people from reddit and facebook so I think we are still good

I use the 17mm hex, forged steel Rays closed ended lug nuts on my bronze 16x8 Dekas.
They seem to hold up very well, but are a bit more coin (like ~$30.00 more than the Muteki SR35s, shipped) than most of the other options out there.

I thought that the Braids, even the Maxlights, weighed substantially more than these 15" Dekas, but were a slight bit stronger. [dunno]

Braid quoted me 14lbs for a 15x8 in +35 Maxlight. I assume the Dekagrams would be about the same. They stated that the website lists 16.5 but is approximate since the bolt pattern and offset will determine the final weight as shipped.

So they are around the same weight give or take a pound.

Yikes! This email is not promising! I’m not spending an extra $32.50 a wheel for them to ceramic coat them! And if that’s the only way to get them shipped, that’s crazy.
Saw that. How does ceramic coating make it easier to get them shipped individually?

Yeah that's BS and the price for that coating is ridiculous. Can we try to find an other dealer who won't try to scam us with mandatory addons?

This is first I've heard of this. No worries - we can go through another dealer.
