Track wheel/Tires

19s are not exactly great for racing or for the wallet. The stock 18" are narrower than the 19", hard to fit 265/295 on there

Red370

you can run with 245 fronts and 275/285 on the rear on the stock 18's, Nitto555's are what most car mags are using on their track cars, give em a shot. The NT01's were a hit with alot of mags and shops when they came out as well, they're worth a look.

That's odd, cuz I fit 295 Hoosiers with no problem on an 8" wheel. Maybe people should just listen to people with actual experience and in the know.

Autox is not the same as track days, perhaps you should try getting out of 3rd gear. Getting the tires to fit doesn't mean it will work right, I have enough data from my datalogger to prove that.

I just want to buy a set of cheap wheels, they will get destroyed and pitted by the brake dust and tire installer anyway. I did some quick search, it looks like the cheap options would be to get the narrower size rims or just pay a boatload of money for the big bad boys. They get quite pricey when you start rolling 9 or 10" rims.

Wow, way to be a want-to-be elitist a-hole with zero knowledge about me. Who's to say I haven't done any on the track activities? I'm more into competitive motorsports, while I currently lack the funds to turn a 370z into a dedicated race car (and I know you do to by your directly quoted question), who's to say I haven't done other forms of racing besides autoxing?

To answer your original question, buy a cheapy set of 17's or 18's ( I see plenty in the 20 lb range at a decent price at an ample width to properly fit a wide tire on tirerack) and enjoy your track days.

Sorry, I don't mean to be a ****. I just wanted to see what people are using for rims at the track. I should have been more clear. My goal is to find rims that I don't care about so I can trash it at the track without crying about it later.

It's all good, my apologies for the respone. What's your budget? I think that link I gave you is a viable option, if $300 a wheel is do-able. As you said, it does get expensive to get wide wheels in a diameter large enough to fit over stock or larger brakes. Goodluck on the search, I'll keep an eye out. A set of 350Z 2006-07 Track, 350z Nismo, or 370z Sport wheels might as be an option. Prices on those are all dropping.
