Cheap Light track wheels
for my 91 CRX. i was initially looking at the 15x7 +42 TR Motorsports C1 weighing in at 12.8lbs. and they are dirt cheap at 89/ea. looks are OK.
ive been considering a different wheel. maybe a Konig wheel. are the heliums still a bad decision for track use? i know some guys were cracking them a while back, but not sure if konig changed the wheels at all.
looking for something cheap no more than say 450 bucks and must be 15x7 +38/+42ish. also dont want a heavy wheel, no more than 14lbs or so. the TRs are considerably lower at about 380 shipped. but id spend a little more on a lighter and/or stronger and/or better looking wheel.
car is red, wheels will be gold (doesnt have to come that way, i planned on painting the C1's) if anyone cares. what do you guys think? suggestions on a wheel that would suit my criteria?

User bokals on here recently picked up a set of the C1s. They were lighter than I expected, I'd probably choose them for a 15x7 if I was in the market.

Re: Cheap Light track wheels
Tr's look better than I thought they would on a hb.
K1s and 6ul are not that much more than the tr's.

Re: Cheap Light track wheels
hmm the 6ULs are ok. not sure how they look on a car though. and they are a little more than i want to spend right now.
so im between the slips and the TR. still leaning toward TR since they are lighter and cheaper.

Re: Cheap Light track wheels
bokals, your pic wasnt showing up before, but i see it now. what offset is that? is that the +42 that TR lists for our vehicles? or is that the +30 or +25 that you can get from other applications?

Re: Cheap Light track wheels
I'm pretty sure only the c1m is miata hub centric. The regular c1, although listed for miatas, come with hub centering rings so you should be able to use them on a Honda without the rings. And they have lower offset fitments for the BMW e30 which will fit our cars too.
But i like that +42. Should give little fitment issues and still looks good.

Re: Cheap Light track wheels
I recently bought the TR motorsports wheels my self.
15x8 +20 Front
15x7 +25 Rear
I know they're a budget wheel but I personally think they are a very good wheel. Especially since if I mess one up they're $80 to replace.
