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. |

But the newest cookie cutters are how old now?
Are Panasports really $300 a wheel? I'll have to give them a call. I'm a buyer at that price. |

I hear that statement about Fuchs all the time but they are also used at the track. Not that I’m a Fuchs expert but I’ve had hundreds of cookies and Fuchs in my possession and hardly ever see failures other than pot holes or crash damage. Sure it happens once in a while but I bet it’s no more than any other wheel. Mag wheels / gas burners on the other hand are different. Magnesium easily corrodes and failures are common. |

I've cracked 2 Fuchs on my 914 and it has not gone off roading. I have a good friend that cracked a Fuch on a street car years ago as well. |
