Suggestions for Track Only Wheels

Looking to do more track days this year and I want a set of dedicated wheels for just track time. Would like a 7 or 8" wide, I'd love to run a 215 or 225 if possible.

I'm a little concerned with running 15" wheels because I don't want to limit my brake options in the future.

What about 16"? They don't seem to be a common size, but tire prices are pretty close to 15".

I'm not really finding anything other than the 1.2's in either size...

Any suggestions?

Tirerack has a few options, don't know if you checked oit that site. They got some sparco assetto gara in 16x7 for a good deal. Very light too, im gonna get some this summer.

Im using the Ford Racing wheels right now for the track. Theyre 1.5 pounds lighter each, but I got them mainly for appearance. Im going to spring for 17" OZ Superleggeras once I wear out my current track tire though. They should save about 6.5 lbs per wheel over stock and thats significant...

OZ's are a great bang for the buck wheel. Light, strong, and reasonably priced in a decent variety of sizes for us.
Our big downside is our bolt pattern(not much off the shelf available).

That said, pimpy custom wheels would be cool... ;)

Ill be springing for the OZ Ultraleggeras later this year probably. Another ST driver at the track had a set wrapped in Falken track tires, and he said they made a HUGE difference. I believe they save 7 lbs per wheel over stock.

615K pluses, or a set of their actual full race compound, full slicks?

I have Rota Slipstreams for track only wheels and they are great. Very light and seem to be taking the abuse well so far! I can definitely tell the difference over the OEM wheel/tire combo.

After wheel shopping for 7 months I think I'm ready to pull the trigger on a set of these for autox. The price is right and the styling is low key which I prefer. And the weight.

I would definitely recommend them. They hide brake dust well too which is a nice bonus!
