nayone with info on street slicks and wheel that fit 06 g coupe with sock size brakes let me know thanks matt , need for speed no traction with new supercharger

 

Contact MARCHESANO. He bought a set of ENKEI's that are super light and he put some DR's on em.

If you wanna go cheaper, I believe there is a mustang wheel that fits and I think an RX7 wheel that fits 03-04's...not sure about 06's. Rears should be easier to fit.

 

For tires I really like the Nitto NT01 (which are also a DOT street-legal tire). I have a set of 205/50/15's with Motegei Trak Lites for my '91 SE-R B13. They only run up to 18's I believe, but that's what I'd target for weight reasons anyway. Their 15x7's weigh all of 10 lbs per wheel, I am just guessing the 18's around 16-18 lbs. I use them with Kuhmo MX's on same car as a part-time DD with very stiff suspension, no issues in both a XC trip from CA to CT (3000 miles of you name it) and 3000-4000 more miles since as a DD.

You can see why they have a good rep for clearance; the Wildwoods are 4-pots with 11 inch plus rotors, all that in a 15 with room. I'm in a similar boat with my G, I need to clear the Brembo's which means 17's at best and only certain rims. Here's the set shown with the Kuhmo's, which are also great - besides the Falkens about my favorite street sticky rubber for not too many $$$. These also come in a Silver that is pretty sharp if you don't like Black (I do!)

Good luck! I definitely want to fit the similar setup on my G - it's a great setup.

 

NICE ride, BTW!!!

 

anyone know where i can find the lbs/kilo per rim ??? if i found a certain rim, i mean is there a site that tells you the weights of rims

Thx
Joe

i found a set of dynamic racing wheels/rota wheels
but it only says the weight of the dynamic wheels which are 6.1 kg per wheel

yo'ull need them... call up Alex@VTR... they just got a new 16" drag wheel in for the track

 

Nice resource - Trak Lites in 17's are only 14.5 lbs/6.5 kg. Given their design I am confident these would clear my '04's Brembos and drop almost 10 lbs/4.5kg per corner. -40 lbs is a lot of rotating weight!

They are not so outrageously expensive as other wheels, either. Only downside is they only go to a 17x7.0" width with offset of 42mm, not sure that's a good fit for a G Coupe. They look pretty plain, but that's part of the reason I like them in the black - simple and light, don't show brake dust.

Prices are decent - I've seen $850/4 in 15", ~$1100/4 in 17's. Not bad for a light 1-piece forged wheelset. Just wish they were a little wider - 7.5 would be better for 17's in the rear.

 

That black is a beautiful looking track rim. Too bad about the 17x7" limit.
