17x9 +45 Enkei RPF1 (17 lbs) & 18x8.5 +44 SSR GTX-01 (19 lbs)


You know I was going to go with your setup but I needed wheels that can clear bigger brakes without spacers.

Getting them mounted and balanced today. Hopefully they fit without too much of a fight. I have SRSTec fenders up front and ~2.7* of camber so i'm hopeful. Waiting until my alignment on friday to actually try and mount them. But should be a nice upgrade from my team dynamics/direzza combo for track duty.

Just got in some RSE10's in Hyper Black - was seriously looking at RPF1's but they just don't hold up to CT roads. Hoping the Neuspeeds will be a good blend of strength/lightness - for $1,100 a set you really can't beat them.

Also, being in CT TireRack wants to whack you tax + shipping--most of the sizes/offsets were not in stock and had to be ordered...added almost $300 to the total cost of the set. I did end up buying tires from them, though (thankfully those were in stock).

Pictures coming as soon as I get home!

yeah if i could have gotten the 275 in a lower profile i could have gone smaller in the rear but i wanted them to be close to the same diameter front and rear. the coils will keep the car at the right height.

Picked up a used set of Neuspeed RSe05 17x8 +45 with the intention of using them for tracking. What tire would you recommend for track use? My car is lowered on Koni Coilovers, corner balanced as well, with all the other mods you see in my sig. I have seen recommendations for 235/45/17 size, but I am open to more or other suggestions. Brand included :) No rush to get the wheels wrapped, but want to start getting an idea of what I will want. Thanks.
