Light track rims?
What would you guys recommend? Btw, I'm on a budget!

Don't know if these wheels are still available, but it may be worth an e-mail to the seller:
PCA: Maverick Region Scroll down until you see the "Fall DE" wheels. TO |
running what madbrad likes (in black, not orange); 8.5 on front with 235 and 10 on back - cheap (ish) light, look great and work wonderfully.

If you drop in a 3.6L with 325hp you can make good use of more tire and a set of 8&9x17 will make 245/275 possible. Tires are a tradeoff between lateral grip, rolling resistance, rotational weight, and aero resistance. Choose the best combo for the tracks you plan to run. A 30 sec AX course will benefit from extra wide tires while running on a super-speedway roval will benefit from less tire. I recommend choosing the tire you want to run first and then pick wheels that will fit instead of the other way around. Controlling your contact patch is the first priority. |
Sometimes I think of tracking my Box but I quickly talk myself out of it!
Topless - how much do you budget for tracking the car and setting it up ? Let's see - dedicated rims and tires - brake pads - special oil sump to provide lubrication on high g turns - roll bars/cage - crash helmet etc etc And a few cases of beer for after the race to keep the track/support crew happy! Yikes but I think it would be fun.:) |

I have a pretty well sorted street/track car now with about $8k in performance, safety, and reliability mods. Most don't go to this extent though but it developed slowly over 7 years of performance driving and nearly 100 track days. I do prefer track days to golfing. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1383513359.jpg |
Did someone ask "what is the budget for track driving?"
