Where would you measure an Erco wheel to determine what is the wheel's thickness? Would you measure at the wheel lip or at the center hole?
Thanks,

are you trying to find out if there the race weight ones? I think the Race weight ERCO's use the washer behind the lugs and are two layers thick in the center and the street weight Erco's are Countersunk lugs and are three layer centers But I Am Not POS on this hopefully others will chime in  |

Mine are three layers in the center but no counter sunk holes. Then again, they are also Porsche pattern so not sure if the same rules apply.

Measure at the center hole. .125" or .190".

They measure .135 which makes them race weight. I will keep them and use them for the drags and look for another set for the street.

Sorry, I meant that only the race weight wheel was available in the 5x205 pattern, but it could be had in the thicker weight if desired. |

Its not a big deal. I just have to decide what I am going to run on the street now. These will work fine for racing.
Thanks,

Mine are triple layer thin thickness with washers on the front, with two layer thick aluminium with countersunk bolts on the rear, whilst the spare is 2 thin sandwiching a thicker layer and uses the washers. I always thought you could get what you wanted/needed with Ercos?

You probably can or order them directly from CMS which makes the wheels for Erco. I bought these slightly used. Now I am debating ordering a set of .190 wheels from CMS or getting a set of Flat-4 Fuchs replicas for the street. --louis |
