Considering a second set of wheels / tires for the track car.
Conventional wisdom has been cookie cutters, but they've gone up in value. Any other budget friendly options? 6x15 & 7x15 / 5 lug. Don't need to be pretty nor stylish. At all. Thx. |

Another data point:
I have two sets of real Fuchs, 8x16 for the front and 9x16 for the rear. One of the sets started on my 944 Turbo track car which saw maybe dozen events before I started racing the 914. Over 23 years of racing the 914 the wheels saw curb and gator running as well as the occasional off-track excursion. The wheels were and are still inspected regularly and have no cracks and are straight. I think the fact that these wheels were engineered for a car 1000 lbs heavier than the 914 is a factor in their longevity. The biggest downside to these wheels is that the choices in performance tires becomes ever smaller. Now that my car is strictly a street hotrod, I no longer run on Hoosier R7's in 245-45-16 F and 275-45-16 R and now have Toyo RA1's in 245-45-16 all around. |
