Or just run 8"
Our cars don't really need much more than that
Fat tire>wide wheel
But concave cr Kai's look badass LOL

looking to run a 245 on an 8.5 wheel so nothing crazy. i have 235 on an 8 and it's perfectly square. not sure how a 245 would look? and how reliable is fill and redrill for track duty? kind of wondering how they'd maintain the finish too, especially for some of these wheels i'm looking at.

Anyone have any suggestions on a 17" or 18" lightweight setup with summer tires for $1500? Is it possible?

Would love gun metal color and for it to look pretty good. I am sick and tired of the heavy ass detroits.

If someone wants to compile a list of wheels in 17" and 18" I will happily edit the OP and try to maintain it from time to time.

something from o.z. would be a solid choice. check tire rack.

My Neuspeed RSe10 18"s were just over $1K shipped from Modded Euros. That would leave you $500 for tires....

I tried making a real list awhile ago but it was a PITA. This thread got cluttered by people posting wheels that weren't light weight or "I have 18" xxx 23lbs pretty light"

Here's the other thread I tried making.

Yessir!
Gonna be a long term project since school just started

One of them has a teeny tiny bend but it still holds air. I'm having that bend fixed.

Now I'm trying to figure out if I should bore out and run wobble bolts or redrill


If I bore it out, can I still sell it as a 5x114 wheel?
