18 inch track wheels suggestions
What 18 inch track wheels would any of you recommend?

I'm looking for an 18 inch lightweight wheel that isn't going to make another hole in my wallet. These wheels would be specifically for track days (circuit/autoX).

I'm looking for a minimum of 9 inch front 10 inch rear with at least a decently aggressive offset.

And obviously, they must also be able to take the abuse from track days. Anyone have any suggestions?

Rotas? Those things would never touch my car. For the track, those are even more out of the question

I'm looking for quality track wheels that hopefully aren't too expensive.

I guess I might just have to wait for some decent-conditioned 18 inch wheels in our marketplace.

My SSRs are 19" the front is 19lbs in 8.5 and the rear is 19.8 lbs in 9.5. They are sedan offsets though, tirerack also carries them and in 18" as well, type C-RS, type F, comp-H, type F-RS, Motegi TRAKLITE, are all very light. i guess if you list your budget it would be easier to recommend wheels.

Under 2000 OTD for a complete set of 18" rims (tires excluded).

The Enkei's still get my vote.



These are what Kurtis had planned on using for the track. They make his rotors look HUGE, lol.

I'm on the RPF1 team also. I would not put 275s on OEM 8.5" wheels for heavy track use. Autox - maybe, not open track.

Thanks for the suggestions. The Enkei's are definitely very tempting considering their price. I might go with those unless I find an amazing deal for some 18" Volk CE/TE's (marketplace) by the time I have the $$$

5zigen fno1rc's are also great track wheels with good offsets and widths to choose from. +1 for the enkei choices as well.
