Good options for track wheels?
 

What are you guys using for dedicated track wheels? I don't really want to use my stock sport wheels. I do lots of autocross and plan on doing hpde's starting this year. Any recommendations? I was thinking about stepping down to 18's

I just bought enkei PF01'1's...18x9.5+30 (f) and 18x10.5+15 (r)
I get them tomorrow...enkei and Nissan, said they would fit, but I think it'll be close. I will advise. They were very affordable by comparison.

depends on budget.


SSR type-f
Enkei RPF1
Enkei PF01
TE37
forgestar f14

MB Battles 18x9.5 and they are like 180 pop.

Forgestar F14, 1200 per set

Thanks for the input. What sizes would you recommend? Square setup or staggered?

I run 4 18x10.5 +34 (front offsets) and use a rear 20mm spacer to keep a square setup. Running 295/40-18 Hoosiers all around. I was running 275/35-18s but the car was too low and scraped the undertray and front bumper under braking.

Now my next problem is how do I transport them to the races haha

Tow a small trailer - lots of autocross/track guys do. Try Harbor Freight for the trailer.

One more reason to get a co-driver. Pre-requisite....you guessed it, he needs a truck and a cordless impact gun :-)

How do I run a hitch?

how did they fit?

Enkei RPF1's-little pricey but one of the lightest wheels made. I'm a noob so I am regurgitating what other people say, but there are tons of 240/350/370 guys atthe track events I go to(yay Corner 3!) . Pretty much every serious track 350/370 I see runs 18's/10.5". Most of the guys use 285 RS3's or they swap to Nittos for their time attack events.

As for transporting them, you can swap them the night before-unless they are not DOT compliant. Otherwise, you need to get a GF with an SUV ;).

Great. They clear front and rear breaks no problem. The fronts tuck-in just a hair, but are practically flush. The rears stand proud by the smallest amount. At least by my perspective.

Pics?

It'll be a week or so.....if I can dig up some photos from last summer. Sorry, but I am away on business, so I can't search my pictures. If I don't have any good pics, it'll be a couple weeks as my car is torn apart awaiting my Penske due-in this Thursday :yum:

I have PF01s on my track car.

Thanks Reaper

I've been eyeing some MR7 Cosmis Racing Wheels Cosmis Racing - Aftermarket Racing Wheels I've never run them but they look nice.

I wouldnt ever buy any cheap stuff like that for tracking....

Yar, spend the 100 dollars extra and get some Enkeis or Forgestars. Don't go cheap on wheels, brakes, or tires. Those wheels look more like show wheels that "look" like racing wheels.

I'm no track veteran but I can tell you that when you are steering through a corner at 90 MPH, the last damn thing in the world anyone cares about is what their wheels look like.

I ended up buying rpf1s

im on PF01, 18x10.5 sqaure, 285/35/18 square

Another set to think about is the Wedsport TC105N's.
