Hi looking for some 15x8 track wheels for the e21.
Don't care about scratches, looks etc. Light (~20lbs) one peice would be best. Up to $1000.
Thanks

Superlite GTR race wheels in 13" size weigh less than 10 lbs. ea. You might want to check to see if 15" sizes are already available.

they do sell regular superlites in 15x8...
But, superlites arn't light at all...their 15x8 wheel is 20.5lbs. But, you can get them in a -4 or +4 offset.
IMO, if you're looking for a better & much lighter track wheel, I'd go for some honda wheels & run spacers to make 'em fit. Like Kosei K1 Racing's in 15x8....which i think weighs under 15 lbs
Are you sure you don't want a bigger wheel? there's a lot more & wider tires available for 17" wheels, and they'll have considerably less sidewall flex than 15's. |

Don't think 17s will fit, they are usually a lot heavier as are the tires and the ride height is increased. They also put more strain on the wheel bearings. Was going to run the 45 series Hoosiers. Compomotive has some nice wheels, the DL series one peice "mini lite". 20lbs but very strong.
Even consider some 6.5/ 7" three peice wheels that I can get some different halves from Kodiak. |
