I have a set of 17" Tarmacs on Continentals that I'm considering selling for a smaller and lighter wheel setup. Any advice?

OZs and Enkeis in 16 are nice and light, but the color options are very limited :cry: My current setup is in my signature, but I plan on swapping the Contis for Hankook RS4s in a few months; the Contis have been excellent but the RS4s should be better on the track in the summer. If I could afford two setups, I'd probably run OZs and Contis for daily driving and reserve the Enkeis and RS4s for track days.

Are you classing in SCCA autocross? If so you are limited to a 16x7 so id say go with the OZ Ultraleggera as they are the lightest around. Throw a 205/45R16 RE71R on it.

If you DGAF and want the best possible a 16x8 and a 215/45R16 would be an insane upgrade. Konig Dekagrams in 16x8 with a 215/45R16 Rival 1.5S would be the best combo. Or you could go with a Federal 205/45R16 RS-Pro as the tread width actually measures out to a 215ish size(tread width of 7.6" which is the same as the Rival 215).

Both are significantly lighter than the 17" 1552 wheels.
